A fan-created teaser for a remake of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess using Unreal Engine 5 has recently debuted, marking the game’s 18th anniversary. This initiative showcases the advanced graphics capabilities of current technology to re-envision classic titles with stunning realism.

  • Enhanced Environments and Lighting: The teaser highlights improved environments and lighting effects that some fans commend.

  • Character Models and Facial Animations: However, others have expressed concerns about character models and facial animations, noting they appear unnatural within a highly realistic setting.

  • Unofficial Project: It’s important to note these Unreal Engine remakes are unofficial and generally incomplete projects by enthusiasts rather than official games.

  • Rumors of Official Remaster: Insider reports suggest Nintendo may already have a prepared Twilight Princess remaster for the Switch, possibly launching in Spring 2025.

Official Release Anticipation: Given Nintendo’s history of strategic release timing, an official remaster featuring in the launch lineup of Switch 2 is plausible.

What do you think? Would you play the fan remaster in an unfinished state?

    I see. I agree that this article doesn’t really accurately portray the situation. I’m used to just viewing the source content to filter any SEO-riddled articles that spend 10% of the article talking about what’s actually being reported on.

    So I think it’s a neat teaser, for a presumably full trailer on the 29th.

      The thing releasing on the 29th is not ‘the full trailer’.

      The thing releasing on the 29th is the full cut, the movie, the fan film.

      This is not a trailer for any kind of playable, interactive experience.

      Its a trailer for a short (by movie standards) fan film.

        Yes, a trailer that’s a fan made film as to what a trailer could look like. I thought we already established that.

          ‘Trailer’ typically denotes a video advertisement or showcase for an upcoming … product, film, game, of some kind.

          You’re not outright breaking, but really torturing the definition of ‘trailer’ to mean ‘a fan film that could possibly serve as a trailer for a hypothetical game that will never be produced’.

          You did not clarify that until your most recent post.

          Its pretty confusing to most people to use a word as shorthand for that same word with an additional bunch of extra, highly uncommon qualifiers.

          Its like saying ‘I support genocide’ but what you actually mean is ‘I support genocide of specifically all mosquitoes, tapeworms and malevolent parasites.’

          Then when someone says wtf you support genocide, then you say oh i meant my specifically qualified kind of genocide, and then acting like the other person is weird for not assuming that is what you meant, before you clarified it.
