VIDEO: Fans Recreate "Ocarina of Time" in "Minecraft"

"Hyrulecraft" comes bold with a 1:1 scale Zelda replica

If you've ever wanted to revisit a slightly blockier version of the world of Hyrule as depicted in 1998's The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, the Hyrulecraft project is tailor made for you. Fans have put together a lovingly accurate 1:1 scale recreation of Hyrule, and you can explore it for yourself in Minecraft, or just soak in the sights of the video below.

 

 

Whether you play Minecraft or not, the hard work put into this is clear, and it's already sending some of those Ocarina memories flooding back. Hyrulecraft is currently in the live public alpha testing phase, with the ultimate goal of making it "a unique Minecraft MMO experience including quests, NPCs, dungeons, free build zones, guilds and more."

I can't lie. Thats pretty awesome.
Brought to you by the guys with no life, self-esteem, or friends.
I didn't know you made this!
There is always an immature idiot that comments "no life" whenever somebody recreates something in a video game. What does it matter if it's virtual or physical? If you enjoy doing something than do it. Somebody would comment "no life" on something you do in your everyday life. Just because somebody does something that you cant, don't hate.. appreciate.
and its not just one person its a big group they work together to make something extremely awesome that been used as to great refrences for many things, the only thing i hate is he fact that im n where near as good haha and have less people to create with hehe .... awesome work.. great vid
Yeah unfortunately there always is someone who has to come along and cut others down for no good reason...

It's just a troll comment... but usually multiple people are involved with big projects like this and you could probably call them all friends, this kind of passion usually translates into landing a big job somewhere making a living off this kinda stuff so I'm not so sure about no life... and the they should probably look up the term "self-esteem" as if they had none they probably wouldn't release this project to the public with their ambitions for it because well, they would have no self-esteem.
Insensitive comment, brought to you by the troll with no life, self-esteem, or friends.

How do you like that? ;) Not nice, isn't it?
Just no, carbo... :/
Wow, someone puts a heap of TIME and EFFORT into making something awesome like this and all you can do is rag on them? Someone sure sounds jealous.
Hmm that would be you right? Go troll somewhere where people actually care about what you say. :)
Lol at the people jeering you. xD
Wow, that's a lot of love to make it a 1:1 scale.
Pretty cool. Love Ocarina of Time. My favorite zelda game :D
I can't stress how awesome that is. ^o^
its really great, the only problem i have with it is they didn't use legend of zelda music for the video.
I thought that too, but it does appear to be a remix of "Ballad of the Goddess" from Skyward Sword. I recognised it about half way in.
loved it...but still like the old of it
This is amazing! I'm able to recognize all the places.
too awesome for words
That is so awesome♥
this is crazy!!!
that's just awesome
"Minecraft: you can build a game in a game!" amazing job guys, hope to see more game creations in minecraft like ICO.
I've built the world from Shadow of the Colossus on MC. Complete with a statue of each colossi. All made by myself without the help of a team, world edit, creative mode or anything. I gathered all the materials on my own, carved out and rebuilt the landscape as needed on my one. And built everything on my own. Took me 2 months.
good for you. i made a pyamide... out of sand stone...
So awesome!
I'm not into Minecraft but thats impressive.
That is pure WIN. Zelda will live on forever <3
thats just amazing i wonder how long it must have taken to do that amazing work and recreating one of the greatest games ever made
I bet they made it in world edit. Real men build stuff in game with resources they have to acquire through hard work.
That is a completely unfair assumption, also quite arrogant.
Even if it is made in a world editor, it still takes quite a bit of talent to get it to a near perfect 1:1 scale.
It's one thing to build a model of a game in Minecraft, but how about actually playing one? Try AdventureCraft, a full-on mod that lets you build maps with additional blocks including special game blocks like save points, triggered doors, doors with keys, teleportation and script blocks that allow you to do pretty much whatever you can do with javascript.

There are already a TON of Zelda maps out for it. Some of them are absolutely incredible in how close they get to the real thing.

WOW IM A OoT nerd for knowing all the places XD I seriously thought the music was Ballad Of the Goddess from Skyward Sword at one point
I wish I could make something this awesome..... but I don't have the patience for it.
I have to say, that is pretty amazing. I'm sure it was crazy time consuming. However, I still rather just play OoT.
good luck building the water temple...
And here I thought I had a lot of freetime...absolutely amazingly done though.
whaaaaaaaaaaaat? that is freaking crazy xD and what is even crazier is I can name every level they made xP

Whoa. Deku tree, Kakariko, dungeons and everything? I wonder how much time all this took to make.
I am impressed and I don't care how it was done, this is inspiring. Kudos to everyone involved.
