Ambitious modding team attempts to add online co-op to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time



The Legend of Zelda series, outside of a few spinoffs, is known for having some of the most renown single-player games to grace the industry. So, much like similar mods of other notable single player games existing, such as for Fallout 3 or Super Mario Sunshine, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that a team of developers have banded together to create an version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time that has online multiplayer. Given the simple name of "OoT Online", the project's goal is to allow for up to 15 players to join a server and play together. Development for OoT Online has only been active since October of last year, but it seems like the team has made good progress, recently showing off footage of two players. with both of them playing at the same time. Currently, the project is in pre-beta, and you can keep updated on it by checking out the team's Twitch channel and blog.

It's not exactly normal multiplayer, but I think the randomizers already feature a way to link your game with another player so that items you pick up get added to the other person's inventory as well, which lets you split up and strategize. It's pretty neat.

Pun not intended?

um, maybe this is a dumb question, but on which platform will you be able to play this?

Awesome but I'd be much happier if they'd finally do some BotW multiplayer, even if it's just a small closed PVP arena to avoid the world (re)loading processes are driving crazy.

Awesome! I'd love to experience this. Though there's this voice in my head, screaming "C&D."
They can't do much if this is released as a patch for the vanilla ROM.
Ironically, it's the projects that are made from scratch and use Nintendos assets that get C&Dd.
Specifically the projects that are more ambitious. Then they'll continue to steal the idea and make their own version.

    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
