Hey! This is the info page for the Twilight Princess 4K texture pack project! Some general info regarding this texture project which you should read before you download it: (The download link is at the bottom of this page!) In its current state, the texture pack includes over 1.8K custom 4K textures, remade from the ground up. They cover most areas of the game, but some locations such as some specific interiors or dungeons are not yet fully covered. This project is 100% fan-made and non-commercial. Although, please refrain from distributing it outside of this website if possible and link to this page instead. Thanks! The end goal is to remake every single texture from scratch. Right now we're about 80% there, but there's still more to go. I am completely up for suggestions, changes and submissions. You will of course be fully credited for any work you submit! The 4K version of the texture pack is scaled to 8x the default resolution (some textures are as large as 4096x4096). The 1080p version is scaled to 4x the default resolution (4096x4096 textures become 2048x2048 etc.) My goal with this texture pack is to enhance the original game visuals while staying faithful to the original vision. That means my textures are meant to blend in as much as possible with the old textures style so the game feel doesn't change, whilst still retaining an extremely high quality with lots of detail. This texture pack is for TP on the GameCube and Wii only (right now). Most of Links textures, including the Master Sword and Hylian shield, have been graciously hand painted and contributed by artist Skilar Babcock . Please check out their stuff here and give them a follow! This texture pack will work with any custom mods / hacks of ZTP as long as they aren't adding new textures or changing old ones (in that case, conflicting textures will be overwritten by one another but it will still work). Ishiiruka-Dolphin is required for material maps, custom shaders and other nice visual features to work and is recommended. There is a custom fork of Ishiiruka Dolphin inside the texture pack download which you can use, or alternatively download the latest version of Ishiiruka-Dolphin (version 1142 ). So far only Global, NTCS and PAL textures have been modified . You can still use this texture pack on Japanense / Korean versions of the game, it will still work. This will not include all the Jap/Kor region specific textures though. Please note that all post processing can be modified easily from user to user to fit your own preference, you can make it look however you like from the "Post-Processing" tab in the Graphics Settings (if you're using the Post-Processing Edition of Dolphin / Ishiiruka Dolphin). If you are having issues with stuttering and lag, remember to check "Prefetch Custom Textures" in the 'Advanced' tab of the Graphics settings before asking for help. The first thing I always recommend is that you try reducing internal resolution somewhat, as well as reduce or disable anti aliasing altogether in the Dolphin Graphics Settings. Higher resolutions are very resource intensive in Dolphin, so please keep that in mind. I also recommend enabling V-Sync as it removes screen tearing in full screen mode. Feel free to join my Discord server for updates on all my texture packs! Video preview (Please watch in 2160p for the best experience!) 1/20 1/9 What are the differences between the post-processing and standard editions of the texture pack ? Short answer: The post processing edition has some extra graphics options which results in more realistic post processing, lighting and effects, as well as fully customizable tone mapping. However, it has low er compatibility with different types of hardware, is missing some features of modern Dolphin, and performance is generally a fair bit worse than the standard edition. Here are some comparison screenshots: Setup & Usage: If you're on Windows: There is minimal setup necessary! A special preconfigured version of Dolphin called Ishiiruka Dolphin is provided alongside the texture pack. Simply extract the folder somewhere and start Dolphin using "Dolphin (Standard Edition).exe " or "Dolphin (Post-Processing Edition).exe ", then open up your own obtained GC/Wii game rom of ZTP and play. It is crucially important that you do NOT move the .exe from the folder it's inside of, or else it won't work! >>Note: On the post-processing edition (Ishiiruka Dolphin), do NOT use any graphics backend other than Direct3D 11 in the graphics settings, It is the only backend which supports all features and has the highest compatibility and stability of all the options. Also keep in mind that the Post Processing Edition does not support .RVZ, .CISO or .NKIT format roms, only .ISO. If you're on Mac or Linux: please manually download Dolphin from this page for your operating system and copy all of the contents of the texture pack's "user" folder (not the folder itself, but everything inside it) to your Dolphin directory (on macOS, your Dolphin Directory is inside of ~/Library/Application Support/Dolphin ) . Ne xt m ake sure to enable " Use Custom Textures" in the Dolphin Graphics Settings > Advanced tab, or else the custom textures won't load! And finally, you also need the game rom to start the game, which isn't included for legal reasons. Information on how to dump your own game rom legally can be found here. For SteamDeck users the in stallation is a bit different. First you must download Dolphin , this can easily be done through the use of a program like Emudeck or through Flatpak . If you installed Dolphin through Emudeck, your Dolphin directory will be located inside of /home/deck/.var/app/org.DolphinEmu.dolphin-emu/data/dolphin-emu/Load . You must right click inside the Dolph in directory > Menu > Check the box for "Show Hidden Files" or else you may not be able to access the Dolphin f older. The rest of the i nstallation is the same as for Linux/MacOS, which you can find abov e. Just copy the "GZ2" folder from the texture pack folder > "User" > "Load" folder into your dolphin-emu directory and enable custom textures in the Dolphin Graphics Settings > Advanced tab and that should do the trick! For Android users, the process is also a bit different. First download the latest Dolphin Emulator from the Google Play Store , or download the latest "Development Version" APK directly from here , install it on your device and try running your game rom in it to make sure everything is working before installing the texture pack itself. Next, download the 1080p version of the texture pack on your device (the 4K version might not work on some android devices) and extract it using any .zip unarchival app (some android versions have this feature built in, whilst some require a third party app to unzip .zip files). Next, you need to make sure you can access the "data" directory on your android device. In recent versions of Android, this path is no longer accessible by the built in file browser so you'll need to use a third party file browser to access the dolphin directory: See this guide here! Once that is done, open the texture pack folder and navigate to the user > load > textures folder. Next, copy the folder called " GZ2 " to this location on your device using your third party file browser OR by using a PC to access the directory (easier); Internal Storage/Android/data/dolphin-emu/load/textures (Replacing the existing GZ2 folder if its already there) Now finally, enable the "Load Custom Textures" option inside the Dolphin Graphics Settings > Advanced tab. Then set the "Internal Resolution " in the Graphics Settings to a higher value than the default 1x (start with 2x and increase from there, if it starts to lag lower the internal resolution again ). Then start the game. It should say a disclaimer about the texture pack before the game starts, that's how you know it's working. Enjoy! For iOS users, the process is very similar to that of Android. However install Dolphin is a bit trickier and will require that you use DolphiniOS , which has it's own installation instructions provided here . NO GAME ROM OR GAME FILES ARE INCLUDED WITH THIS TEXTURE PACK. SHARING GAME ROMS IS PIRACY AND IS ILLEGAL. DO NOT ASK FOR THEM HERE OR ON DISCORD, OR YOU WILL BE MUTED. How do I get the game rom? No game files are distributed with this texture pack, since that would be illegal. You need to get the game .iso yourself. The legal way is to dump the game yourself from your own GameCube or Wii console. See these instructions! What are the differences between the "Standard Edition" and the "Post Processing Edition"? There are two versions of the Dolphin emulator bundled with the pack you can use which comes with the texture pack pre-configured and ready to go . One is the "Post Processing Edition ", which includes all the post processing effects showcased in the trailer like ambient occlusion, tone mapping, bloom, material maps and more. The other version is the "Standard Edition " which doesn't include these features but has some other benefits instead. You are not forced to use either of these versions if you don't want to, and the texture pack can easily be installed on any version of Dolphin you've installed yourself as well (see the Linux & MacOS instructions for a manual installation). The Post Processing Edition utilizes Ishiiruka Dolphin to achieve these features, and has some graphical features implemented not available in regular Dolphin at all. It is only compatible with Windows ( not compatible with MacOS or Linux ) and a dedicated graphics card . Both editions include controller presets for common gamepads like the Xbox One controller, and the custom textures are the same between both versions. The standard edition version fixes some Dolphin bugs present in Ishiiruka Dolphin (and offers increased stability, and substantially higher performance) and supports MacOS & Linux , too! But does not support any of the additional graphical features listed above , like material maps or ambient occlusion. Both versions look stunning so if you're uncertain I recommend you play the standard version - or try out both and see which one you prefer! The screenshots above are taken using the post-processing edition. Both versions share the same save data so you can switch freely between the two and compare at any time. How do I set up 60 FPS? It is possible to display at 60 fps or higher using Lossless Scaling , a tool which can be bought from Steam (I'm not sponsored by them, but I like the tool). The tool is still in beta however, and upscaling artifacts will appear to some degree. For a perfectly clean image without artifacts, I still recommend playing the game at the default frame rate without Lossless Scaling. It can interpolate frames in-game to give the appearance of 60 fps or higher, without any of the drawbacks of a cheat code or patch: There will be NO game breaking bugs or glitches using lossless scaling, as it's only active a post processing effect. But as stated earlier, there will be artifacts which may or may not hinder your enjoyment of the game, depending on how sensitive you are to artifacts. Here is some important information about using Lossless Scaling to get higher FPS: * Artifacts may appear when there is lots of sudden camera movements on screen. * The tool costs $6.99 on Steam (a price worth paying in my opinion, since it works for any game) * It is only available on Windows , and does not work on Linux or MacOS currently. * A somewhat modern GPU is required , preferably an RTX or recent AMD GPU. Whether or not it's worth getting is for you to decide! Of course, playing the game in it's intended frame rate is a perfectly good experience as well, so don't feel forced to use this tool to have a good time. These are my recommended settings for Lossless Scaling for Dolphin: NOTICE: YOU MUST ENABLE "BORDERLESS FULLSCREEN" IN THE GRAPHICS SETTINGS > ADVANCED TAB OR IT WON'T WORK! Why is the image grainy? This can be an issue in the post processing edition on some hardware configurations if Ubershaders it NOT set to "Exclusive". Try setting Ubershaders to "Exclusive " in the Enhancements tab of the Graphics Settings and that should fix the problem. W hy do textures take a while before loading in? This occurs in the standard edition (regular Dolphin) when "Prefetch Custom Textures" is not enabled. You can enable "Prefetch Custom Textures" in the Graphics Settings > Advanced tab and this will fix the problem (this requires a lot of RAM!) Why is the game crashing / free zing on startup or after a few hours? The most likely reason is because you have "Prefetch Custom Textures" enabled in the Post-Processing Edition (Ishiiruka Dolphin) in the Dolphin Graphics Settings > Advanced tab . This feature is known to be unstable at times in Ishiiruka Dolphin (regular Dolphin 5.x doesn't have this issue) and can cause issues like freezes and crashes. Try disabling this feature if it's enabled and see if this fixes the problem. Why is the game crashing on the mission where you need to escort the Zora prince from one part of the map to another? The reason why is because of a bug in the widescreen patch. THE INTRO CUTSCENE TO THIS MISSION WILL SOFTLOCK / CRASH THE GAME EVERY TIME WITH THIS PATCH ENABLED . There is no fix for this currently other than to use a clean game rom for this mission which does NOT have this widescreen patch applied! Why is the game crashing / displaying "IntCPU: Unknown instruction"? The reason why is most likely because you are using an unsupported game rom format , such as .NKIT.iso, .WBFS or .RVZ. The only fully supported game rom form at for the post-processing edition version of Dolphin (Ishiiruka Dolphin) is .ISO . Using an unsupported format may lead to unexpected behaviour and crashes, such as a "IntCPU: Unknown instruction" error. Why is the game crashing / dis playing "Fifo Error: Shutting Down"? The reason why is most likely because you don't have the latest C++ Redist from Microsoft installed . This is required on most Windows setups or else the game won't boot. You can download it for free from Microsoft's website here. If it's still crashing after you've installed C++ Redist, it might be because you're using an WBFS, WFS or .NKIT ISO. You need a regular ISO version to play the game without any errors- NKIT is NOT supported. You can convert your NKIT to a regular ISO easily using the free NKIT to ISO converter. If it's none of these things, then it's probably because an incompatible cheat code is being used. Try disabling "cheats" in the Dolphin Config Settings and see if that fixes the problem! Why am I getting a "Failed to enumerate outputs!" error / why are my item icons messed up? This error appears when your graphics card is not able to be initialized for use in Dolphin, which can result in several issues (including crashing, random texture corruption and other graphical features not working as intended ). It is therefore highly recommended that you perform the following actions to fix the error before playing the game. Fixing it is a simple two-step process: 1. Select "Use Maximum performance" as the power management mode for ZTP4K.exe (the dolphin launch program inside of the corresponding texture pack folder) in the NVIDIA Control Panel program on your PC. Go into the nvidia control panel > Manage 3D settings > Program Settings tab > click "Add" and find the ZTP4K.exe file in the texture pack directory you use to play the texture pack. Then set the mode for power management in the list to "Prefer maximum performance" 2. On Windows 10 and newer, you must set the graphics mode for the exe in the Windows settings as well. Go to System > Display options > Graphics settings in the Windows settings and click the "Browse " button under the Desktop App list button and then select the correct texture pack ZTP4K.exe just like in the NVIDIA Control Panel. It should get added to the list of apps in the same menu. Now, click it in the list and then "Options " > Select the "High Performance " in the menu that appears. Done! Restart the emulator and the error should now be gone. Why is everything offset to the side or UI elements are displaying strangely? This is because you have more than one widescreen cheat / patch active at the same time. If you used the included widescreen patcher tool and widescreen patch, then you must also disable the default widescreen cheat in the game properties . To get to the game properties, first make sure that you have added the folder where your game rom is as a path in the Dolphin Config Settings > Paths tab. Then right click the game in the games list in Dolphin > Properties > AR Codes / Gecko Codes tabs. Then uncheck any active widescreen cheats there. Restart the game (do not load a save state, you must load a save normally in-game) and that should fix it! I want to use a regular controller for the Wii version, what are the controls for that? You can play the Wii version using a regular controller if you wish, however since the Wii version was designed with motion controls in mind, some actions are not as intuitive as one might wis h on the Wii version in particular. Some information about the controls worth explaining: You can control the pointer by holding down the Right Bumper and using the Right Stick to aim. To fish in the Wii version using a regular controller, throw the reel into the water. Then when you think you've got a fish on the hook, you need to hold both Right Trigger and Left Stick Up to catch it. To aim weapons or other items with a controller on the Wii version, such as with your slingshot or a hawk, hold the R button on your controller and use the Left Stick to aim. To do a spin attack on the WIi version using a regular controller, hold Right Trigger, then rotate Right Stick in a circle. You don't need to do it quickly, as spinning the stick too quickly in a circle might not register properly. I would like to merge all the packs into one single Dolphin, can I do that somehow? Yes, for all Dolphin packs you can just copy the Load and GameSettings folders from each User folder into one single user folder and that should work (if it asks you if you want to overwrite anything, say "yes"). Updating from an older version is su per simple: Just copy & paste the " GC " and " Wii " folders inside the " User " folder in the texture pack directory over to the new version's User folder and it should work straight away! This will transfer all your saves files over, which are cross compatible between updates. If you encounter any issues with the texture pack please post them on the Forums or on Discord ! Enjoy!

Want to help contribute to these projects? If so, thank you! Myself and lots of people would greatly appreciate your help making these projects shine even brighter. All contributed work will of course be credited, however not all submited textures might be included in the texture pack if they're not deemed a suitable fit for any reason. The most important thing is that textures are faithful to the original art style, and that they contain no copyrighted or otherwise illegal content before being distributed. Here are some specific core areas which are currently especially important in regards to contributed work; UI and text translations (Spanish, German, French, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese) UI icons and character portraits Minor texture tweaks (mistake fixes or spelling corrections, for example) High-quality, royalty free environment textures or material textures (PBR or otherwise) without watermarks. Changelog: 3.0 (2026-01-01): Over 530 new 4K textures have been added in this update, making it the biggest single expansion of coverage so far. This is not an incremental update, but a complete overhaul in some aspects, which you will notice if you compare it to 2.1. Several areas have received extensive texture updates, and many regions that previously had partial coverage have now been improved to feel more cohesive and complete. The new textures cover (but are not limited to) the following areas: Forest Temple (Completely overhauled) Hyrule Field (multiple regions) Ordon Village Ordon Ranch Ordon Spring Faron Woods Sacred Grove Castle Town and surrounding areas Kakariko Village & Graveyard Zora River Lake Hylia Gerudo Desert Telma's Bar Hyrule Castle Town Hyrule Castle Hyrule Castle Sewers Several additional dungeons and sub-areas Unlike some earlier updates, this version doesn’t focus on just a few specific locations — most areas of the game have been revisited in some way. The Ordona region, the Forest Temple, and large portions of Hyrule Field have seen especially significant improvements in this update. Visual effects such as falling leaves, butterflies or the twilight "walls" in Hyrule Field have also been updated and now look substantially higher quality than before. Completely reworked UI! Version 3.0 includes a fully reworked user interface, with most UI elements recreated at higher resolutions. Improved clarity and readability More consistent presentation across menus, HUD elements and icons Better scaling at higher resolutions Visual adjustments intended to stay faithful to the original design whilst still being high fidelity. The updated UI is intended to better match the overall quality level of the texture pack and provide a more comfortable experience when playing at modern resolutions without artifacts or pixelation. Improved character textures! Character textures have received a broad quality pass in this update. Many key characters, NPCs and enemies have been revisited to: Improve overall texture quality Increase quality consistency Better align with the original game’s visual style The intent here is refinement rather than redesign, focusing on subtle improvements that help the textures blend more naturally with the rest of the game. New and improved post-processing shaders! Version 3.0 introduces updated and refined post-processing shaders with several notable improvements; Improved color balance and tone mapping Subtle contrast and lighting adjustments, including fixes for overly aggressive bloom. A more consistent visual presentation across different areas Increased consistency and overall quality improvements! A large portion of the work in this update has gone into revisiting older textures to improve consistency across the pack. Older HD textures have been cleaned up or adjusted Reduced visual inconsistencies between neighboring areas More cohesive presentation throughout the game The goal is to enhance visual clarity and consistency while respecting the original game’s art direction. Fixes, tweaks and other improvements! In addition to new textures, version 3.0 includes: Numerous texture fixes and UV alignment fixes Small visual tweaks across many areas General cleanup and polish throughout the pack These changes help improve overall quality and presentation, even if they’re not always immediately noticeable and only become apparent if you focus on the details. 2.1 (2025-01-01): 150+ new textures Over 150 new environment textures have been remade in many areas of the game. The new textures cover the following regions; Ordon Village Ordon Spring Zora River Kakariko Village Kakariko Graveyard The Sacred Grove East of Castle Town South of Castle Town Lanayru Hyrule Field Eldin Hyrule Field Gerudo Desert Hyrule Castle Courtyard Hyrule Castle Graveyard Castle Town Faron Woods Lake Hylia Several dungeons (including the City in the Sky , Temple of Time and Hyrule Castle ) Overhauled Link's textures, including the Hylian Shield. Improved material maps. New font textures and text readability improvements. Several new and improved UI textures.

New material maps have been created to give surfaces and textures depth and more realistic reflections. Heavily reduced file sizes (without sacrificing quality!) > Up to 2.7x reduction in file sizes! Increased consistency and improved quality all around! Lots of textures have been re-made from scratch to match the original style better. Simpler version selection and improved instructions. And much, much more! 1.3.0 (2022-06-01): Massively overhauled environment and detail textures, including the provinces of; Ordona (including Ordon Ranch and Ordon Spring) Kakariko Village Death Mountain South Hyrule Field Eldin Field Lanayru Field Hyrule Castle Town Gerudo Desert City in the Sky Hyrule Castle Sewers Faron Woods New textures for both Link and Wolf Link in higher resolutions, including the shields and swords, which are now more faithful to the original art style and color palette as well! There are several new icons for items as well, and some which have been generously contributed by @MelonSpeedruns . Thanks! The bug where some items would not display HD icons (such as the slingshot and ball & chain) has also been fixed (most likely, it's a deceivingly complex bug to fix!) The title screen logo has been remade in 3D and rendered in crispy 4K resolution! New UI textures include both the on-screen UI as well as the various menus and icons present all over the game, such as the rupee icon (which is also a custom 3D render). This also includes text boxes and improved font (with correct kerning this time!) Numerous new miscellaneous textures! This includes things like leaves of deku babas, pumpkins in Ordon Village, the fish icons in the fishing pond and much more! Simpler version selection and improved instructions! ... and more things I've probably forgot to mention. Enjoy! 1.2.0 (2022-02-01): Ordona has been completely overhauled with new 4K textures Faron has been completely overhauled as well! Hyrule Field upgraded with new terrain, path and vegetation textures New night sky texture with higher resolution stars Numerous new miscellaneous textures Fixed several NPCs having "void eyes" New 4K Tall Grass ...and much more! 1.1.3 (2021-06-01): Easy Wii/GameCube version selection (with the groundwork for automatic version selection coming soon) Better MacOS compatibility + improved Mac installation instructions Support for M1 Macs Updated some textures that weren't displaying correctly, most notably in Lake Hylia. Updated the Ishiiruka Dolphin fork to support automatic region loading of textures + performance improvements. New controller configuration for the Wii version. Fixed several oversights and bugs, including mismatched default settings in the 1080p version as well as tesselation issues in Hyrule Field. 1.1.2 (2021-03-16): 300+ new 4K textures in several key areas of the game! New custom made 4K font for all text messages. New specular shaders for textures (what makes slippery surfaces shiny and metallic surfaces glossy) Over 160 new material maps! Brand new 8K textures for Hyrule Field and Hidden Village (for huge textures like the environment, cliff walls etc. where the texture covers a large area) Updated cheat codes, including an improved widescreen code which doesn't stutter! Shader updates + new color profile for the default shader Crash fixes and general bug fixes 1.1.1 (2021-01-29): New and improved 4K textures in several areas, including Temple of Time, the Ordon Province, Hidden Village and more! Fixed the stuttering issue present in previous releases thanks to a new improved widescreen code, it should be enabled by default! You can still play with the old code if you so please, since it's still included. Over 60 new material maps! (What makes textures look rough/shiny, slippery surfaces shiny and metallic surfaces glossy! It's also what provides a simulated sense of "depth" and lighting without physically based lighting.) New default input presets for PS4 and Keyboard controls. Fixed the "eyes are black" issue which affected a few select NPCs. Several bug fixes and other minor improvements.' 1.1.0 (2020-12-24): New and improved 4K textures in several areas, including all field areas and caves, trees and more!

Shader tweaks for improved visuals. Performance improvements and optimizations 1.0.3 (2020-07-26): Over 230 edited and updated textures primarily focused on covering the first three dungeons of the game completely; the Forest Temple, the Goron Mines and the Lakebed Temple. Fixed the annoying stuttering present in previous releases. 1.0.2 (2020-07-01): Over 150 new HD textures! Includes many environment textures like hedges, leaves, bark, rocks, pillars, tiles, ladders, ropes and more. See these screenshots for examples! Improved performance and quality of the included shaders. Now in the .DDS BC7 format which dramatically reduces file size and improves performance without any noticable quality loss. Even easier install, now there's no installer at all! Simply extract the texture pack to your desktop and start using the provided "ZTP4K Dolphin Emulator.exe" file, which is a custom fork of Ishiiruka Dolphin. Fixed some bugs (not golden bugs, sorry!) 1.0.1 (2020-06-14): Many new and updated textures. I focused on the UI this update! Updated shaders + new ones!

Happy New Year! 🎆 I’m very excited to announce version 3.0  of the Zelda: Twilight Princess 4K texture pack ! This is by far the largest update the project has received so far , introducing over 530 new 4K textures  across the game. This update includes a large number of new environment textures, a fully reworked UI, improvements to character textures, new and refined post-processing shaders, as well as many fixes, tweaks and general improvements. A significant amount of work has also gone into preparing the pack for future updates and new features. There’s a lot to cover, so here’s the more detailed changelog: New environment textures! Like in previous updates, a major focus of version 3.0 has been expanding and improving the game’s environment textures. Over 530 new 4K textures  have been added in this update, making it the biggest single expansion of coverage so far. This is not an incremental update, but a complete overhaul in some aspects, which you will notice if you compare it to 2.1. Several areas have received extensive texture updates, and many regions that previously had partial coverage have now been improved to feel more cohesive and complete. The new textures cover (but are not limited to) the following areas: Forest Temple (Completely overhauled) Hyrule Field (multiple regions) Ordon Village Ordon Ranch Ordon Spring Faron Woods Sacred Grove Castle Town and surrounding areas Kakariko Village & Graveyard Zora River Lake Hylia Gerudo Desert Telma's Bar Hyrule Castle Town Hyrule Castle Hyrule Castle Sewers Several additional dungeons and sub-areas Unlike some earlier updates, this version doesn’t focus on just a few specific locations — most areas of the game have been revisited in some way . The Ordona region, the Forest Temple, and large portions of Hyrule Field have seen especially significant improvements in this update. Visual effects such as falling leaves, butterflies or the twilight "walls" in Hyrule Field have also been updated and now look substantially higher quality than before. Completely reworked UI! Version 3.0 includes a fully reworked user interface , with most UI elements recreated at higher resolutions. Improved clarity and readability More consistent presentation across menus, HUD elements and icons Better scaling at higher resolutions Visual adjustments intended to stay faithful to the original design whilst still being high fidelity. The updated UI is intended to better match the overall quality level of the texture pack and provide a more comfortable experience when playing at modern resolutions without artifacts or pixelation. Improved character textures! Character textures have received a broad quality pass in this update. Many key characters, NPCs and enemies have been revisited to: Improve overall texture quality Increase quality consistency Better align with the original game’s visual style The intent here is refinement rather than redesign, focusing on subtle improvements that help the textures blend more naturally with the rest of the game. New and improved post-processing shaders! Version 3.0 introduces updated and refined post-processing shaders  with several notable improvements; Improved color balance and tone mapping Subtle contrast and lighting adjustments, including fixes for overly aggressive bloom. A more consistent visual presentation across different areas Increased consistency and overall quality improvements! A large portion of the work in this update has gone into revisiting older textures to improve consistency across the pack. Older HD textures have been cleaned up or adjusted Reduced visual inconsistencies between neighboring areas More cohesive presentation throughout the game The goal is to enhance visual clarity and consistency while respecting the original game’s art direction. Fixes, tweaks and other improvements! In addition to new textures, version 3.0 includes: Numerous texture fixes and UV alignment fixes Small visual tweaks across many areas General cleanup and polish throughout the pack These changes help improve overall quality and presentation, even if they’re not always immediately noticeable and only become apparent if you focus on the details. So to summarize this update, a LOT of things have changed and improved between the last version over the last year. I really hope you'll enjoy the new version of my textures! Also, there are some even bigger news related to TP coming soon (if you could believe it!), so please stay tuned for more announcements! That's it for this update. Enjoy!

Good evening! 🌙 I'm excited to finally release the next major update to the A Link Between Worlds 4K Texture Pack project in a looooong while, version 2.0! (Sorry! It's been nearly 2 years since the last update. It's way overdue for a new one!) I hope this update makes up for the long wait- it's pretty huge. This update is pretty much a remake of the entire pack that's been underway for several months and includes many new 4K textures covering the whole game, with a primary focus on cleaning up and improving consistency and quality all around. It of course includes new environment textures, new character textures, user-interface upgrades, higher quality shaders and more! Also, it now supports the new texture pack format (finally completing the full transition to the new format for all my texture projects), which fixes several previous issues, such as frequent stuttering and the infamous "texture swapping" glitch present in previous versions, plus it now also fully supports the Vulkan graphics API. And that's just some of it! Here's a more detailed look at what's new: 160+ New Textures! This update includes over 160 new 4K textures, covering everything from environments to interiors to user interface elements to characters and more. It also uses the 'new' texture format, which opens up the doors for many more neat features later down the line. I also spent a lot of time going over and reviewing old textures from version 1.2.0 and earlier, and I found that many of the textures were not quite up to my standards (Like with some of my prior projects, I believe I've gotten a fair bit better at texture making over time) Therefore, I've decided to replace many old textures from the previous version with new, remade versions which should look a lot better than before. Consistency is key, as they say. And this pack was definitely not that in it's previous incarnation(s). It's still not perfect, but it's better, and I will continue to iterate on and improve the visuals in subsequent updates until it's as close to perfect as I can make it. It's a step-by-step process, but it helps it all comes together really nicely in the end and makes the whole pack feel a lot more polished and complete. The details all add up! New texture format, Vulkan support and Reshade updates This version includes support for the new custom texture system-rewrite! This fixes many notorious bugs, such as the stuttering that would occur whenever new textures were loaded in and the infamous and somewhat terrifying "texture swapping" bug which commonly occurred for many users. It also adds Vulkan support, which means increased compatibility with different systems (AMD GPUs and mobile devices especially) and more graphical features (normal map support, better mip maps etc.) This really adds a lot to the experience and makes the game much more enjoyable from start to finish. ReShade has also been updated to version 5.9.2, which also comes with several stability and feature improvements. More notably this update fixes the flickering of the depth buffer present in previous versions, making effects such as ambient occlusion much more usable. It also improves on performance a fair bit compared to previous versions! Updated Shader Presets (Henriko Ultra v8) The default Reshade shader presets that come with the pack have been updated and improved in this version! Henriko Ultra v8 is way better in pretty much every way than the previous Henriko Ultra v7 preset that came included with the 1.2.0 version of the pack. Colors are a bit warmer and look more pleasing with A Link Between World's color scheme, bloom has been reduced somewhat and depth based effects such as ambient occlusion and depth of field are now entirely optional and look nicer as well. New Reshade also uses the Vulkan backend by default, and should boost both performance and compatibility with various systems. Updated file structure and streamlined instructions The file structure and instructions have been remade to be more in line with those used by my other 3DS packs, making things easier for previous users of my other packs. This finally completes the full transition to the new texture pack file structure, so all my 3DS packs can now be installed with nearly identical instructions to each other. And many bugs fixes, optimizations and minor changes... Minor issues from the previous version has been fixed, including a bug which caused quarter hearts to not display correctly. Performance has also been improved due to the previously described optimizations. That's mostly it for this update. Enjoy! The update is available early to all Green Rupee+ Tier supporters, with a public release 2 months after that! There is also a 4K version available, if your computer can handle it! The 4K version includes higher quality textures than the 1080p version, and will work on all displays- even those that don't display in 4K resolution. It will still look better than the 1080p version, no matter the display! Please feel free to try it out! (**The texture pack does not work on real 3DS hardware). You can find more information about the texture pack here. I am only able to make things like this thanks to your support, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping me do what I love! ❤️

Good evening! 🌙 Fall season is approaching and it's been a hot minute since the last update to this project. In fact, it's been one year on the day  since the last version, 2.1, released last year. It's time for a new update, don't you think? Similar to OoT 3D 4K 3.0, this was initially a smaller update but I kept adding new things to it and well, here we are! Anyways, I hope you'll find the upgrades of this version worth the extra wait. So without further ado, here's what's new: 170+ New Textures! This update includes over 170 new 4K textures  which have been remade from the ground up for this version. This includes both environment textures  such as the ground, walls, stone tiles and bricks, wooden panels etc. It also includes many new interior textures , completely overhauling several locations, such as Pirates' Fortress, Clock Town  and   more . There are tons of miscellaneous textures  as well that have been completely remade, such as different types of foliage, NPCs, the Mirror Shield, Weather Effects, Sheikah Stones, Deku Flowers, the World Map, a new remade font, a majority of the UI and much more . Like previous updates, it helps it all comes together really nicely and makes the whole pack feel a lot more polished and complete. The details all add up! As part of my overarching goal to improve quality and consistency in all my texture packs, I took this update as an opportunity to remake many of the in-game textures to look cleaner and be more consistent with the original art style. What's new with this version however, is that I've spent considerable time making sure every single texture added had a noticeable impact on the perceived quality of the area they belong to . Long term followers might know that I worked by a frequency priority system , where the most viewed textures received the highest priority to be remade. Starting with this version, I have moved over to a perceived-quality priority system . The difference is that with perceived-quality, I instead prioritize textures which I deem to have the biggest impact on the overhaul visual quality of an area , rather than how frequently that particular texture is displayed in-game. With the new system, textures which aren't necessarily common, but incredibly important to the overall visuals of an area (such as the UI and Clock Town for example) get prioritized over frequent but less noticeable textures (such as foliage). I have found this new approach to working highly effective, and I think you'll notice that the step-up in perceived quality in this version should be pretty drastic over previous versions! It's finally happening: Full support for Spanish! As stated in previous posts, I'm working to add support for all in-game languages to my packs, starting with English then working my way through other popular languages. Last update I added support for German, and this time get ready for Spanish! Everything in menus, in-game text, button prompts and location names have been translated, and should *  work without issues. However, if there are any mistakes or errors regarding the translation, please let me know! ¡Gracias! Updated UI and item icons! Arguably one of the biggest improvements this update is the updated item & mask icons, as well as general improvements to the user interface. All item icons (except for some bottles, for now) have been updated and remade completely in glorious HD quality! This also includes character portraits, which finally fixes some long-standing issues with the pack since the beginning. Buttons, outlines, prompts and more have also been remade from scratch to look much cleaner and nicer than before. And of course, I've also gone ahead and remade the whole font sheet for in-game messages with more consistent spacing and kerning for more pleasant reading. It's a lot of smaller changes and details, but I definitely think it adds up! Improved Japanese translation textures thanks to work by Tomoki Sato ("LINK") Tomoki Sato (a user who also goes by the name "LINK") has generously been helping with translating most of the UI textures of this texture pack, as well as the OoT3D 4K texture pack, over to Japanese! Another batch covering some of the textures has been added in this update, with more getting included in future releases. Please follow them on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/LINK_genkaiya And many bugs fixes, optimizations and minor changes... Minor issues from the previous version has been fixed. Some of the fixes include the following changes; Fixed the map in Pirates' Fortress appearing as the Great Fairy (yes, seriously). Fixed low resolution bloom present in various cutscenes. Fixed low resolution text appearing in some places. Fixed some text not using the correct terms (i.e. "Back" instead of "Return") Updated character portraits and fixed some portraits displaying incorrectly, resulting in disfigurement. Fixed the font not handling certain characters, resulting in font inconsistencies in other languages than English. Message text now fully supports apostrophes and special characters. Fixed bloom effects being applied twice in the included Reshade preset. Fixed some misnamed textures, including a naming issue which resulted in some textures not displaying their 4K variants on the PAL region version. Performance has also been marginally improved due to the previously described optimizations, although keep in mind that Vulkan support in emulators is still not perfect and bugs may occur that did not occur in OpenGL in previous versions. For this reason you are still be able to enjoy the game using OpenGL instead of Vulkan by enabling it in the emulator Graphics Settings, if you want to. This should lead to a more polished and overall enjoyable experience for everyone using the pack. Notice:   Normal maps have been temporarily removed in this version , as they will be remade in future revisions to the project. Normal maps were not used in-game in previous versions, so you won't be seeing any visual differences as a result of this- but it will reduce the file size of the pack by a fair bit. This explains why you might see fewer total textures in this version compared to 2.1 , since 100+ unused normal maps have been removed from the project files. That's mostly it for this update. Enjoy! The update is available early to all you Patrons here, with a public release as soon as the next texture pack update releases. There is also a 4K version available! The 4K version includes higher quality textures than the 1080p version, and will work on all displays- even those that don't display in 4K resolution. It will still look better than the 1080p version, no matter the display! Please feel free to try it out!
