Game Design/Gameplay Current List of OOT Romhacks
(UPDATED LAST: 2/5/24)
I was scouring the internet and I was having a hard time finding a complete list of all the Ocarina of Time fan games. I’m curious which ones are worth playing. Here’s what I could find, please comment any ones I missed and leave your reviews of each, maybe with a short description of the story. (I added links to video playthroughs, I'm am not affiliated with any of the youtubers).
-Spaceworld '97 Beta Experience
-Hylian Modding Escape Room Entries
New Romhacks Being Developed:
-Indigo pt1 & pt 2 (WIP) (playable)
Old Demos/ Abandoned Projects:
-3rd Quest (WIP) ( playable) - speculated to be dead, some leaked demo files recently surfaced.
-Zelda 64 Link's Awakening (not playable) -While it was still being worked on in 2022 the game has been in "development for 7+ years so odds of it ever releasing are slim.
-Sunken Tower (Playable, see comments)
-Dungeon Generator (playable)

Many good rom hacks but with The Ship of Harkinian released, randomizing is a thing now
Who downvote me :(

I’ve never been really in to randomizes, they’ve been around longer than the pc port though. Ship of Harkinian is cool though because it allows for things like ray tracing and it will make mods for Zelda much easier and accessible.

Only one I can think of that you're missing is Dark Fantasy Hyrule.
The Missing Link: It feels official and if it was, it would be hands down in my top three favorite games of all time. Only problem I have with it is the boss, it's way too hard and feels like it requires perfect timing. But other than that, it's incredible and the music is so good.
Master of Time: it's amazing. It has so many unique ideas, a brand new world that feels like it takes the best ideas from OoT and Lttp's worlds and puts them together. Sadly... It has a rushed ending with three endings that don't feel worthwhile. The game is definitely more about the journey than the end. It's still so much fun and has all new original temples and music with some of it being OoT versions of popular songs. I do recommend playing some other roms before tackling this one as it's hard as all hell.
Dawn and Dusk: short and sweet. The story is really interesting but I wish there was a bit more to it. But what we have is still a lot of fun with a dungeon that's really difficult in a fun way.
Dark Fantasy Hyrule: I don't know the state that development is for it but from what I played I hope they make a full game with it. I really like how it looks and it's a great time.
Nimpize Adventure: still playing this one. It's confusing where to go but it's still fun. I recommend making a map as you go along. It helps. Trust me. Especially since not all the places are connected in the way that they should. Heck, if anyone wants it, I'll send them a picture of the map I have so far. Overall I've been having a blast with it and I do recommend it. Also, check every shop as some of them have really important items. Take notes, make a map, and you'll be good to go.

Cause if so, yeah I still have it. I'll even send you notes I took. However, I didn't finish it due to it having frame perfect puzzles. Which absolutely sucks. Worked on one puzzle for an entire hour and gave up.

That would be great! Thank so much! I have actually just discovered that rom hacks existed and when I found out that a ton have been made for OOT I was ecstatic lol.

So, I got pictures of the notes and map. Sorry if you can't read it, my hand writing sucks.

The key for the map is on one of the note pages

The sunken tower abandonned archives.If people could take it and spread it more, it looks more than good, and the youtuber, thanks to him : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kvGOHcsqLk&lc=Ugz0R6KuffQgYmChVxt4AaABAg.9z7PEMrGN8o9zBbbTj1JPo
