CryZENx, best known for his Unreal Engine 5 Fan Remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, is working on a new fan remake. This time, the artist is remaking The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap in Unreal Engine 5. And, a couple of days ago, CryZENx released the first dev video for it.

This video shows off what the artist aims to create. From what I can see, this fan remake will be a full 3D remake. As such, it can give us an idea of what this Zelda game could look like on modern platforms.

For those who did not know, The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap is a Zelda game that came out on Game Boy Advance in 2004. It serves as a prequel to Four Swords and Four Swords Adventures, telling the origins of the Four Sword and the villain Vaati.

In May 2026, we got an unofficial PC port of this game. So, I highly recommend downloading it and trying it. Once you have played it, you can rewatch this trailer, as it will give you an idea of what CryZENx will create.

As with the fan remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, this remake will not cover the entire game. Instead, the artist will focus on various areas. He will also add proper gameplay mechanics, meaning that you will be able to interact with NPCs, fight enemies, and solve puzzles.

There is currently no ETA for when the first public version will come out. Naturally, though, we’ll be sure to keep you posted.

Speaking of Unreal Engine 5, you should also check out the following fan projects. For instance, you can find some faithful remasters of Dark Souls and Dark Souls 3, which are super cool. A few months ago, we also shared an amazing remake of Toy Story 2. Then there’s this cool fan remake of Medal of Honor: Allied Assault. Let’s also not forget this fantastic fan remake of STALKER that’s worth a look. Oh, and don’t miss the Grand Theft Auto 6 fan concept in UE5; it’s pretty impressive.

In February 2024, we also shared fan remakes of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and GTA 3, as well as an Uncharted fan game. We also have a remaster of Unreal Gold and a cool fan remake of Doom 3. You should also watch the full-on remake video for Final Fantasy 9, and this HD-2D Fan Remake for Xenogears. Moreover, here is a fantastic fan remake of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask. Yesterday, we also shared a fan remake of Doom 3 in UE5.

Need for Speed Carbon and Tony Hawk’s Underground also have some awesome fan remakes. There’s even a fan remake of Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation that features Angelina Jolie and Christoph Waltz. But that’s not all. Fans have also made remakes for Star Wars: Republic Commando, Death Stranding, Fallout 4, Grand Theft Auto 4, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Fallout 4, Resident Evil 1, and Silent Hill 3’s Lakeside Amusement Park. A former Infinity Ward and Wargaming artist has also remastered Half-Life 2’s train station intro in Unreal Engine 5. Let’s also not forget the upcoming fan remake of Resident Evil 3.5. Oh, and there’s a video showing MGS2’s iconic intro in UE5.
