You guys, stop everything — this story just hit me hard. A Nintendo fan built an Ocarina of Time remake in Unreal Engine 5 completely on their own time for TEN YEARS and then walked away after the official Switch 2 announcement. This isn't just a meme; it was playable with custom shaders, ray tracing, and lighting by late December — while his work already predates Nintendo's plan by ten years! Then the headline dropped: "I don't want to make what Nintendo is already going to build." That one line says everything about the passion behind it. He even started opening up his UE5 assets for others before stopping, and I honestly respect that honesty more than almost anything in our community.
