Zelda: Twilight Princess 4K Texture Pack 1.2.0 Update (Patreon)

Update 2022-02-26: The download links have been updated and should now work again!

Hello everyone! 

I'm happy to present the next major update to the Zelda: Twilight Princess 4K texture pack, update 1.2! It includes hundreds of new textures, and primarily focuses on some of the earlier areas of the game, as well as common environment textures that are used all over the game. Like grass, cliff sides, trees and so on. Here's the full changelog!

New 4K grass!

The grass texture has finally been updated, after months of neglect, and looks great! Sadly screenshots doesn't make it justice, so you just have to believe me when I say it looks even better in motion! The grass also adapts based on what environment it's in, so grass placed on top of brown or yellow-ish soil will now be slightly tinted towards that color as well.

Ordona has been overhauled!

The Ordon province has been upgraded in several ways, with a majority of the environment textures having been replaced with new 4K versions made from scratch! This includes things like grass and dirt, foliage of all kinds, tree bark and coniferous, distant mountains and more.

Faron has been overhauled!

Just like the Ordon, Faron has also received new textures covering most of the environment! The new textures blend in much more nicely with the surroundings, and look much nicer than the previously used textures.

Upgraded Hyrule Field(s)!

Southern Hyrule Field has been massively enhanced with brand new hand crafted 4K textures, including both environment textures and props. This includes things like bridges, flowers and distant objects like Hyrule Castle. This change also affects the other Hyrule Fields, since they use mostly the same environment textures across all of them. So it's a larger upgrade than one might think at first!

Numerous new miscellaneous textures...

This includes things like pots, the roof tiles on Hyrule Castle, the stars in the night sky, parts of the text font has been remade. This update should also fix an issue where items didn't display their icons correctly in the item wheel!

There are two versions of the texture pack you get to select once you've downloaded it. One is the "Post Processing Edition", which includes all the post processing effects showcased in the trailer like ambient occlusion, tone mapping, bloom and more. The other version is the "Standard Edition" which doesn't include these features but has some other benefits instead.

The Post Processing Edition utilizes Ishiiruka Dolphin to achieve these features, and has some graphical features implemented not available in regular Dolphin at all. It also requires Windows 7 or higher (not compatible with MacOS or Linux) and a dedicated graphics card. Both editions include a controller preset for common gamepads like the Xbox One controller! The standard edition version alleviates some minor Dolphin bugs present in Ishiiruka Dolphin (increased stability, for example) and supports MacOS & Linux, too! But does not support any of the additional graphical features listed above, like material maps or ambient occlusion. Both versions look stunning so if you're uncertain I recommend you play the standard version- or try out both and see which one you prefer! The screenshots above are taken using the post-processing edition, a comparison might be coming shortly! *wink*

Enjoy!

Check out the older 1.1.0 trailer as well if you haven't already!

(A proper trailer for 1.2 and beyond is coming at a later date, too!)

This update, 1.1.3, is available to all you Patrons here, with a public release in two weeks from when this post was published (in 1080p)!

There is also a 4K version available, if your computer can handle it! Please feel free to try it out!

Notice: The 4K version will always look better than the 1080p version, even if you don't have a 4K display. This is because the textures are physically larger and contain more detail!

(Only available for the Ishiiruka Dolphin Emulator on PC or mobile (Android/iOS), the texture pack does not work on real Wii or Wii U consoles).

Read more information about the texture pack on my website!

Updating from an older version is super simple:

Just copy & paste the "GC" and "Wii" folders inside the "User" folder in the texture pack directory over to the new version's User folder and it should work straight away!

Download it here (4K and 1080p)!

Mirror Download (if the above one doesn't work)

iOS & Android version here!  

I am only able to make things like this thanks to your support, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping me do what I love!
