Thanks for trying it out, glad you liked it. The water shadows are actually a sand texture that they reused from termina field and just scrolled to create the effect, I'll redo that one for the public release. The models don't really have textures to replace outside of a specular map, so there's not much that can be done to those without full 3D replacements. I'd like to upgrade a lot of those and fix the bad mapping seams on the moon once mod support is in
It's amazing! I know it is a bit random, but is there a way to contribute to the texture pack project or similar project in the future? I would love to help!
@@Nerrel thank you for your service, even these intermediate results are amazing and you definitely are on the right path to make this a truly amazing HD version.
Wow… I love your videos on the OoT and MM remakes, I never even knew you were involved in projects like these! That is so cool, thanks for your hard work.
this looks like a completely new remake now. The textures were already so good, but widescreen with it at 60+ fps makes this look like a fantastic remake.
Wish I could play all my n64 games now with graphics like this. That way my wife wouldn't be complaining how the terrible resolution on our flat screen is giving her a headache lol
@@MichaelLeroi CRT's are great, but unfortunately they can be hard to obtain depending on what part of the world you are from, especially if you're trying to get a good one.

I’ve always wondered why Nintendo didn’t consider on their own assigning the use of the boots to the d-pad in Ocarina of Time and the main masks in Majora’s Mask. As far as I remember, the d-pad wasn’t used for anything in those games. Personally, I find it a brilliant idea because it makes the gameplay much smoother without the need to constantly pause the game to change the items you want to use.
It’s such a great inclusion. If you’re not used to using it it’s really easy to forget and use the old method, but it’s saving so much time not having to pause and keeps the flow of the game!
Nintendo had a standing rule at the time that forbid game developers from making use of the D-Pad, Control Stick, and C-buttons simultaneously. IIRC, you could only pick two (since you have two hands). As a result, the D-Pad was not utilized much, since it was far away from everything else useful (unlike the C-buttons) and it was not as 3D friendly as the Control stick. Certainly, if you look at the janky controller design the N64 had, it kind of makes sense. But yeah, fortunately better controllers have been designed since then that make this a non-issue.
@@The111Primagen This exactly. The controller was designed to have an A la carte control scheme, where you picked between D Pad and C Buttons, D Pad and Stick, or Stick and C buttons. (they still kinda do this with the way you can rotate the joycons to use as individual controllers!) This is totally lost on modern gamers, but the entire gaming industry wouldn't really even come to understand the *need* for a standard, dedicated camera stick for 3D gaming until the rise of the Dualshock controller, which came well into the PlayStation's lifespan. (1998??? iirc) Yes, Nintendo should have made the boots easier, probably as a C button, as boots in past games had been assignable. But using the D-pad would have been funky. Honestly, it felt super shitty for them to sneak the map toggle on the L button; it was so easy to accidentally delete the map and not know where it went, because they already broke their own internal logic with that one.
Probably because of the way the n64 controller was designed, making it basically impossible to comfortably reach both the d-pad and analog stick at the same time. They still could've done it for the 3DS versions though.
Texture support just made it into the modding branch about 30 minutes ago, so we're getting close to an official release. I'm so excited for the finished product, this is going to look beyond amazing when raytracing and model replacement makes it in.
Looks really good! I already have the recompilation on my Steam Deck and it plays beautifully but been waiting on Nerrel’s texture pack to be compatible before fully replaying it.
These look awesome. There are some things that look ill fitted like the text font, the water and the item sprites and link also looks a bit weird but overall it’s a great improvement.
Here are the planned features for Zelda64Recomp: Ocarina of Time support Mod support and Randomizer Texture Packs Model Replacements Ray Tracing (via RT64) Multi-language support with support for loading custom translations
Nerrel made videos about just that. In a lot of ways the 3DS remake just up and changed a lot, while Nerrel's HD pack is closer to the original on average. Some things the 3DS does better, some things the HD pack does better
I've been thinking someone should hack a version of MM that has the MM3D graphics but with the original's mechanics and boss battles. - But this is a damn good alternative.
That would be very cool! As far as I’m aware the n64 wouldn’t be able to handle it. There is a RUclipsr called Kaze who does a lot of Mario 64 modding and has made some incredibly visual mods that all run on original hardware that may be worth checking out.
To change a texture pack, just follow the same process you originally used to set a texture pack but replace the pack with the new pack you’d like to use
@@ayyupleslie thank you. i always am curious how lava areas look in enhanced graphics. also you can do a complete playthrough of the game too and make it a series
In order to switch between the original textures and the texture pack you need to enable developer mode. In order to do this go to: AppData\Local\Zelda64Recompiled\ Right click on graphics.json and open with notepad. There you can find: "developer_mode": false, Change this to: "developer_mode": true, Now when you are in the game if you press F4 it will instantly swap between the texture pack and the original textures.
Even though I didn't grew up with the n64, that goes to the Wii. Seeing a n64 game in high res and 60 fps is cursed lol, but still this is well made. I just prefer my n64 games to be their regular janky selves lol
That’s fair, everyone has their own preferences and I respect it. The best thing for me about the Recomp is that you can play it at its original fps and framerate as well.
This is for zelda64 Recompiled. It works for the pre release build and soon when the official 1.2 build is out it will be available there too. Hope this helps 😊
There are links to the official build as well as the prerelease build in the description. If you follow the instructions for the official build but apply it to the prerelease you will have a working pre release version. Then you can download and follow the instructions for the texture pack. If you get stuck there are some guides on RUclips for how to install, but if you have any issues then let me know and I will try to help!

@@ayyupleslie Oh ! Thanks, i was using the European version this whole time and didn't understand the error message saying that I need the "NTSC-U N64" version of the game
No problem, I hope you have managed to get it working! There are some pretty fun difference between the PAL (European) and NTSC-U (American) Versions. Like frame rates, graphic and resolutions
@@ayyupleslie Yeah it works now, i wasn't aware of all those differences. I thought that the only difference was the language settings, that's interesting
Once you have the pre-release build you need to create a mod folder with a subfolder called mm (mods\mm) in the following location: AppData\Local\Zelda64Recompiled\ Then put your texture pack into the folder. Hope this helps 😊

It's amazing!

Downsampling is the way to go if you want to eliminate the blurriness while also staying true to the game's strengths when displayed in 240p.
@@MichaelLeroi nobody mentions this but the colors are amazing too for games like oot and mm it almost gives a shader look to old games

That’s amazing news. Ray tracing is going to be so huge!!!!
your gonna be a great youtuber one day keep going man
Thank you, I really appreciate it!
I'm installing this tomorrow.
It was the only thing I was waiting for.
You won’t regret it! If you need help installing the textures you can find a tutorial linked in the description and on my channel!
they need to implement the bomber notebook hints from the 3DS. that is a helpful hint system
This is such a great idea!
Great video mate!
Hey, thanks dude! Appreciate you checking it out
The icons looks amazing, too. The New Kokiri Sword looks so nice
The pause menu too is super clean!
Looks really good! I already have the recompilation on my Steam Deck and it plays beautifully but been waiting on Nerrel’s texture pack to be compatible before fully replaying it.
That sounds amazing, I’m so jealous! I’d love to hear how the texture packs play on the steam deck
These look awesome. There are some things that look ill fitted like the text font, the water and the item sprites and link also looks a bit weird but overall it’s a great improvement.
Wow the details
YO. This looks incredibly good. Is there a plan to eventually add high-quality models as well, or is it just textures?
Here are the planned features for Zelda64Recomp:
Ocarina of Time support
Mod support and Randomizer
Texture Packs
Model Replacements
Ray Tracing (via RT64)
Multi-language support with support for loading custom translations
Well damn, that sure happened a LOT faster than the recomp of OoT.
It would make so much more sense to use the beautiful 3DS remake as a base. It looked sooooo nice, this will never be as half as good.
Nerrel made videos about just that. In a lot of ways the 3DS remake just up and changed a lot, while Nerrel's HD pack is closer to the original on average. Some things the 3DS does better, some things the HD pack does better
dUDE THIS IS SICK!!!!
Last thing it needs now is the 3ds models with nerrel's textures. Then it is perfect.
looks very clean. cant wait for 1.2!
It will be a great update!
Yes that is the correct thing
This looks great! Do we know when 1.2 is coming out? I may just wait for it
Unfortunately there is not current set release date for it yet, but based on how good the pre release is I can’t imagine it being too much longer now.
I’ll be using nerrels texture pack for this.
Great shout, it looks amazing. There are also other texture packs too such as Majoras Mask Reloaded which also looks great.
I've been thinking someone should hack a version of MM that has the MM3D graphics but with the original's mechanics and boss battles. - But this is a damn good alternative.
That would be awesome, one of the planned features is actually for Model Replacements. So this may become a reality someday!
They did that for ship1, 2ship will have it eventually.
This is so neat!
It’s so cool, and definitely worth a try
Man imagine if I could do this on my OG N64 via a sad cart. I am assuming this is only for the PC since the N64 can’t handle this. One can hope.
That would be very cool! As far as I’m aware the n64 wouldn’t be able to handle it. There is a RUclipsr called Kaze who does a lot of Mario 64 modding and has made some incredibly visual mods that all run on original hardware that may be worth checking out.
Just waiting for difficulty options 😭
Randomizers needed.
Yes please! That would be perfection
Now we only need randomizer and we good
How do I change the textures with the one I set a few months ago on my Steam deck ? Thanks !
To change a texture pack, just follow the same process you originally used to set a texture pack but replace the pack with the new pack you’d like to use
I would like to get the 3DS models modded in somehow.
That would be awesome. Model replacements is a planned feature, so fingers crossed 🤞
how do lava rooms look like with this?
Everything looks great. I can visit some in the next video for you!
@@ayyupleslie thank you. i always am curious how lava areas look in enhanced graphics.

this is not a new texture pack
The texture pack itself is not new, but the ability to use it on zelda64Recomp is.
These games in anything more than 20 FPS just look wrong.
I thought the same thing to begin with, but when I went back down to 20 it felt even wronger 😂
