The long in the works fan remake of the classic Nintendo 64 game The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time looks like it may be progressing, with a release candidate coming "soon". While the authenticity of the project has always been in doubt, the newest screens of the game, regardless of whether it actually exists, are still very pretty.

A Something Awful forum poster updated the long running topic with new information about the remake's creator and the status of the project.

Daniel Barras, an old friend of mine, has announced that Release Candidate 1 of OoT2D will be released soon. He's waiting on his laptop to be airmailed to him (and he probably needs to put a couple finishing touches on it).

Sounds promising, but I'm a skeptic and still have my doubts. Still, I simply cannot wait to be proven wrong and try this out for myself. True believers can check out more screens at the links below.

Thanks for the tip, Gourry. Michael McWhertor
