The OGZeldagame like we’ve never seen it before
Of all the games to be modded into VR, the originalLegend of Zeldagame was near the bottom of my list in terms of expectations. Usually when a game goes VR, it’s already got a 3D art style, but I have to admit adding a whole new dimension to a title, especially such a classic one, is a really intriguing idea. Now we get a chance to see what that experience is like, because Japanese modder and retro gaming enthusiast Sugar Noe posted a video of themselves playingThe Legend of Zeldato bothTwitterandYouTube, as originally reported byNintendo Life.
In 2021, a user named DeTwelve created a mod calledThe Legend of Doom, which faithfully recreatesThe Legend of Zeldain the engine of the originalDoom. Then Sugar Noe took that mod and made their own tweaks so that it would be playable on a Quest VR headset. This thing has layers, but the final result has to make for one of the most immersiveZeldaexperiences ever.
I played throughThe Legend of Zeldawith a friend a few years ago on hisSNES Classic, but admittedly I wasn’t too intrigued considering how much the game showed its age, if you’re able to pardon my blasphemy. We never finished it, but I will say that the added twist of playing it in VR might just be the push I need to get the very firstZeldagame under my belt once and for all.
