Lake Hylia & Zora's Fountain Reborn in Unreal Engine 5.7

I'm thrilled to share a massive update for my Zelda: Ocarina of Time environment project, featuring Lake Hylia and Zora's Fountain—built entirely from scratch in Unreal Engine 5.7!

This isn't just a lighting pass; almost every element has been rebuilt or upgraded to bring a true next-gen feel to these iconic locations.

Key Updates & New Features:

Custom Water Shader & Interactive Caustics: The water has been completely redone! I've developed a brand-new water shader that includes dynamic water caustics (the shimmering light patterns on the lake floor) which are fully interactable with the environment.
Next-Gen Link Model: Link is back and better than ever! His character model has been updated with entirely new shaders to match the photorealistic environment, giving him a fresh, next-gen look while keeping his classic feel.
Dynamic Hair Shader: Link's look is now complete with a new hair dynamic shader! This upgrade gives his hair realistic movement and better light interaction, making him look more natural and alive within the scene.
The Great Fairy's New Look: The Great Fairy model has been updated with a whole new aesthetic, matching the quality of the environment and offering a truly grand and magical presence at her fountain.
Improved Player Experience: The input system has been fully fixed, ensuring a smooth and responsive control experience.
Stability & Polish: Numerous bug fixes have been implemented across the board to ensure the most stable and beautiful viewing experience possible.
