YouTube user CryZENx has posted a video of their Unreal Engine 5 remake of the The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. This 35-minute video shows the game's third dungeon, Inside Jabu-Jabu's Belly, which is also the last dungeon that Link explores in the game as a child. This is an almost complete version of the level, and CryZENx has also provided two separate download links for players who want to try it out for themselves. The first link offers the 30 FPS level and is free to play, while the second link offers the 60 FPS level and is only available to those who support CryZENx's Patreon.

In the video description, CryZENx details the changes they made to the level, with the most notable difference being the improved gameplay mechanics. Carrying Princess Ruto, the Zora that Link is tasked with rescuing, feels more intuitive, and players can actually control her to help Link solve the puzzles in Jabu-Jabu. The mod also polishes the level design for added clarity and improves combat by adjusting enemy hitboxes. As the remake is still a work in progress, CryZENx notes that the map and compass, as well as the actual boss fight, still need to be added.
