Tech: ZeldaVR



What happens when you cross Being John Malkovich with NES classic The Legend of Zelda?  You get this terrifying Oculus Rift demo. The mod is currently just the game's overworld and its first dungeon, but there are plans to scale up the whole game to VR playability by March of this year (yes, for free.)
"This is a VR clone of The Legend of Zelda for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). The gameplay and artwork are virtually identical to the original NES classic, however in this version you see the world through Link's eyes, in all of it's virtual 3D 8-bit glory. Explore the world, find weapons, kill enemies, collect items, discover secrets, buy upgrades, delve into dungeons, defeat bosses, restore the Triforce, and rescue Princess Zelda from the evil Ganon.

Note: This is the Beta version in which you have access to the overworld and the first dungeon. The full version is due for release in March 2014, for free, on virtualreality.io."
