Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D 4K Texture Pack 1.9.0 Update (Patreon)
Content
Update 2024-04-04: Another patch, 1.9.0c, has been released. From this version onward, all 3DS texture packs will no longer include emulators. You will need to provide your own emulator from this point onward (it's still easy, don't worry)
Update 2024-01-01: Another fix, 1.9.0b, has been released to address an issue where the 60 FPS version would not start correctly.
Update 2023-11-10: A small fix, 1.9.0a, has been released to fix an issue where chests would not display correctly on the 1080p version!
Good evening!🎃
Today marks the release of yet another major update to the Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D 4K texture pack! Version 1.9.0 includes 120+ new textures covering the UI, environment, characters, enemies and effects. This time focusing primarily on the Fire Temple, Gerudo Valley, Zora River and Adult Time Castle Town, as well as several of the surrounding areas. The update has many other improvements as well- Check out the full changelog down below!
This was posted in the previous updates' post as well, but as a reminder (or if this is your first time using the Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D 4K texture pack), Here are the default key bindings for using the bottom screen with your controller;
D-Pad Up: Free Cam (First Person View)
D-Pad Left: Ocarina
D-Pad Right: Item Slot 1
D-Pad Down: Item Slot 2
Select: Items Menu
Left Joystick Button: Gear
Right Joystick Button: Map
You may need to set these bindings again on your own controller in case the emulator does not recognize it automatically. Simply double click the input button for each respective button and press the corresponding button on your controller and you should be good to go! See this video for detailed instructions on how to set everything up!
This should make the game much more enjoyable, especially if you're playing on a TV where you definitely don't want to be switching around between different controllers mid-action.
120+ New Textures!
This update includes over 120 new 4K textures! This includes environment textures such as stone boulders, water, cliff walls, stone tiles, lava, stone bricks, gravel, doors, rope bridges etc. Almost all of the Fire Temple, Zora River and Gerudo Valley have also been re-textured from scratch. New foliage textures such as new textures for plants and dead grass in Gerudo Valley, as well as spicy new 4K particle effects for things like dust, fire and explosions. There are tons of miscellaneous textures as well that have been completely remade, such as window panes, the Ocarina of Time (it's in the name after all!), bottles, Zelda's letter, Deku Nuts and many more. Like in previous updates, it helps it all comes together really nicely and makes the whole pack feel a lot more polished and complete. The details all add up!
Completely remade shaders presets and compatibility improvements!
The included post processing presets have been completely remade from scratch to look even better than before. This also includes fixes for the depth buffer being offset, which resulted in strange artifacts around the edges of objects when depth buffer effects, such as MXAO or DoF where used in previous versions. It also fixes the flickering that sometimes would occur when depth buffer effects were applied. These changes should bring improved stability and performance as well!
More Japanese translation textures thanks to work by "LINK"
Tomoki Sato (a user who goes by the name "LINK") has generously been helping with translating most of the UI textures over to Japanese! The first batch covering most of the textures has been added in this update, with more getting included in future releases. Please follow them on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/LINK_genkaiya
Updated and improved 4K UI Overlay Utility
The optional 4K UI Overlay Utility now supports 1440p, and has been improved in several ways. It lets you display most of the important UI elements, such as health, magic and which items you have equipped on the top screen. Making for a much nicer single screen experience! You can download it from the link below the regular download link for the texture pack!
And many bugs fixes, optimizations and minor changes...
Minor issues from the previous version has been fixed. Performance has also been marginally improved due to further optimizations. This should lead to a more polished and overall enjoyable experience for everyone using the texture pack.
And like before; Glorious 60 FPS! (Still in beta though, so read carefully!)
Re-post from previous updates:
The 60 FPS patch is a first-time feature for Ocarina of Time 3D, and makes the game display in a buttery smooth 60 frames per second instead of the usual 30. This makes the game not just nicer to look at, but also makes it more responsive and reduces input lag. However, this feature is still in beta and has a several bugs with workarounds (you need to perform some special actions in certain instances to avoid the game from softlocking, for example. Instructions and more information is provided with the download!) Since the 60 FPS mode isn't quite ready for prime time yet, it's included as an optional special version which you can use if you're feeling adventurous (and don't mind doing a little bit of manual work!) The instructions are, like stated previously, included with the download. Have fun! :]
Selecting your game region (if you're using the PAL/European or Japanese version of the game);
All you need to do now, if you're using the European version of Ocarina of Time 3D, click the "Run this if you're using the PAL (European) version of the game.bat" file inside the texture pack folder. Done! It'll now work great with your version of the game. Easy, right?
How to enable MXAO (ambient occlusion) & DoF (Depth of Field):
This means you can now experience glorious self shadowing around objects, which looks really great with OOT's fantasy art style. Try it out by doing the following:
* Set your game view to "Single" in the emulator.
* Enter fullscreen in the emulator.
* Press the "8" key on your keyboard, this will bring up the ReShade UI.
* Check the "MXAO" box in the list of effects.
* Go to the "Addons" tab in ReShade and check the box next to the depth buffer in the list with the highest value (it should be a very high number while all others are 0). This number will change constantly, but don't worry it's supposed to do that!
* You're done. Have fun!
Enjoy!
The update is available to all you Patrons here, with a public release in 1 month weeks from when this post was published!
There is also a 4K version available, if your computer can handle it! The 4K version includes higher quality textures than the 1080p version, and will work on all displays- even those that don't display in 4K resolution. It will still look better than the 1080p version, no matter the display!
Please feel free to try it out!
(Only available for emulators, the texture pack does not work on real 3DS consoles).
