It bears similarities to the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time recreation in Unreal Engine, though the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild mod is less of a reimagining and more of a purely visual update. Lighting and shade are crisp and clean the reflection of light on the water is a particularly beautiful highlight. Animations are incredibly smooth, and environments and visual effects that would make the Switch game drop frames have no such effect here.

One such mod and an accompanying video shows off what The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild would look like in a resolution of 8K and with ray-tracing technology enabled.

Instead of adding new features to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, some mods simply seek to push the game to its performance limits. As fun as it might be to add as many mods as possible to one's game, there is such a thing as too many. Mods range from the relatively simple, like camera enhancements that give players more control over how they view Hyrule, to the outrageous, like the mod that puts a fully-playable Luigi's Circuit from Mario Kart Wiiright into the middle of the open world. Nintendo's open-world masterpiece has no shortage of mods made by enterprising fans who want to add something to the already lengthy adventure of Link. A fan-made mod shows what The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wildwould look like with incredible graphical enhancements.
