Ocarina gets a spit-shine

by Phil Larsen { Jul 14th 2008 at 12:30PM }

Who needs all the "newness" of E3 when you can relive a masterpiece of days gone by? A team of modders went to the trouble of improving a selection of screenshots from Ocarina of Time, with sharp textures and ultra-high resolution. At the end of the day, these graphics are technically far behind most of the games released this generation(key word: most), but since we all lovingly play Ocarina of Time on a regular basis anyway, a sharp upgrade like this would be just what the doctor ordered.

Check out the full set of new and improved screens here, with an ambient melody drifting over the flash page as you compare the original shots with high-res and cel-shaded versions.

Couple of things:

1.) 'bout 3 or 4 years too late.
2.) They didn't re-texture screenshots. They re-textured the entire game and then took screenshots of it. It's fairly common.

You won't find the rom on that forum, but you will find all of the information that you need to get this up and running. They did not alter the rom, they used a plugin for an emulator to dump and then reload the textures. You need to get the rom elsewhere.
