Ocarina of Time VR (oot-vr)

Overview

oot-vr by gibranfelix puts The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Nintendo, 1998) in first person on Meta Quest, running natively on the headset: no PC needed to play. It's built on Shipwright-VR (ShinyWindow), Ship of Harkinian 9.2.3 (HarbourMasters), Shipwright-Android (linkzenic) and the zeldaret decompilation. The camera sits at Link's eye height and follows your head (a third-person view is also available), with automatic world scale for child and adult Link.

Install type: APK + your own game files. You select your dump in the headset, and the game builds its files from it.

[!IMPORTANT] No ROM or game assets are included. You must own Ocarina of Time and make a dump of your own cartridge or disc. The project does not supply ROMs. Fan project, not affiliated with Nintendo or Meta.

[!NOTE] Beta. v0.9.4-beta (October 26, 2026). The developer tested many areas, from Kokiri Forest to the fight with Ganon, but has not played the full story from start to end; read STATUS.md and the open issues. Tested on Meta Quest 3S, with the European GameCube version.

Highlights:

• Physical weapons: swing the sword, Deku stick and Megaton Hammer; hold the shield to block (the Mirror Shield reflects Twinrova's beams); aim the bow, slingshot and hookshot, and the shot goes along the weapon; throw the boomerang, bombs, Deku nuts and bombchus with your arm.
• Item selector you grab with your hand, a HUD on your wrist, and menus on a floating panel with a laser pointer.
• Explore (adult Link with every item, song and medallion), Boss Rush and Arena (waves of enemies).
• Ship of Harkinian mods (textures, models, translations) installed from the headset.
• Stereo 3D with refresh switching automatically between 90 Hz and 72 Hz.

Step-by-Step Installation

1. Install the APK

Download oot-vr-v0.9.4-beta.apk via 1-click on QuestPorts or from GitHub Releases. Connect the headset to the PC, select Always allow from this computer and Allow in the headset, then drag the APK into SideQuest, or:

adb install -r oot-vr-v0.9.4-beta.apk

2. Copy your dump

With the SideQuest file manager, copy your dump into the headset's Download folder, or:

adb push <your-dump>.z64 /sdcard/Download/

3. First start

1. In the headset, open Library > Unknown Sources > OoT VR.
2. Select Select ROM, then select your dump in the Download folder.
3. Wait a few minutes for the extraction, and don't remove the headset.
4. Optional: select Allow to use mods.

The game makes oot.o2r from your dump; you can delete the dump afterwards. Later starts go directly to the game.

Updates

The game looks for a new release at each start (the headset needs internet). When one is available, the menu opens on the file select screen; you can also use VR Settings > Update at any time. Select Update, allow installs from this source the first time, confirm on the installer panel, and open OoT VR again. Your saves stay.

Mods

The game loads Ship of Harkinian mods (.o2r, .otr, .zip, .7z). Mods are not part of oot-vr; their authors provide them. First select VR Settings > Mods > Allow Access.

• Automatic: in VR Settings > Mods, select Download below a mod (twice), then restart the game.
• Manual: copy the mod into the headset's Download folder, select VR Settings > Mods > Add Mods, pick the file, then restart.
• Change the load order in the SoH menu: Settings > Mod Menu.
