This Oculus Rift Zelda rendition brings you right back to the beginning of the classic game, but gives you a different point of view. The Original NES game has been left in tact, but the way it's viewed has been completely shifted.
Developer Ubiquitron has taken it upon himself to revamp one of the most classic games in video game history. That's a tall order all by itself, but what's even harder is making a 2D, 8-bit game into an all-immersive 3D experience without changing the art. Uniquitron managed to do it with the gadget of the hour, the Oculus Rift.
The Oculus Rift Zelda is currently in beta, but the video of it shows that the game holds strong ties to it's classic gaming roots.
