Ocarina of Time Remake on PC: Lichii Setup, Black World and Bloom Workarounds

Recorded walkthrough · 6 November 2026

Play the Zelda Ocarina of Time remake on PC with this recorded Lichii setup walkthrough: choose the Windows build, add your game, restore the black world with Docked mode, and try the separate bloom/fog launcher workaround.

Build-specific guide: use your own compatible game and console files. Keep a working backup when trying another build.

1. Choose the recorded Windows application

The walkthrough uses Lichii nx2 build 75, Windows MSVC. Open the recorded release and choose the standard Windows MSVC application archive. Extract the complete folder; keep its companion files beside lichii.exe. A newer release may behave differently, so record the build number when comparing results.

2. Prepare your own game and console profile

Use your own compatible game dump and the personal console files required by the project. The recording begins with an existing configured profile. It does not demonstrate a blank Windows setup or supply game files, firmware or keys. Follow the project’s current preparation instructions for a new profile.

3. Add the correct game directory

Choose Add New Game Directory, then select the folder containing your Ocarina of Time .nup package. Check the library entry before opening it. The successful route in this recording loads that package directly; the abandoned extractor experiment is not a required step.

4. Reach the menu

Allow the first load to finish, then start a new game or continue a compatible save. Passive loading is shortened in the video; gameplay is presented at its recorded speed. A title screen is the first checkpoint, while visible movement is the next one.

Restore the world when the HUD still works

This workaround matches a specific symptom: hearts and menus are visible, but Link and the 3D world are black. At the bottom of the emulator window, click Handheld so it changes to Docked. The room appeared immediately in the recorded session. Keep watching the same scene while you make this change.

Verify movement before changing more settings

Move the character and turn the camera, then check a nearby doorway or familiar scene. This verifies more than a menu opening. The recorded setup subsequently enters Kokiri Forest. Docked mode restored the world here; it did not remove the outdoor glow or establish a performance gain.

If your symptom differs

A crash before the menu, a failed launch, or another GPU/build can have a different cause. Compare the matching upstream black-world report and include your build, GPU and screenshot when asking for help. The later ReShade experiment is separate; it was not needed for this recorded workaround.

Prepare a separate launcher

Close the game and emulator first. In the extracted application folder, create a text document and paste the complete command below. Keep the launcher beside lichii.exe. The working directory is taken from the launcher’s own folder, so the directory name does not need to be hard-coded.

Copy the complete command

@echo off
setlocal
set "EDEN_NX2_REJECT_HASH=780c0536b89fc89e,f2b14c43ca0e4300,96dd01c5b0361fcb"
start "" /D "%~dp0" "%~dp0lichii.exe"
endlocal

Save the file correctly

Choose Save As, set the file type to All Files, and use a name such as zelda-fog-fix.cmd. Show Windows file extensions and confirm the filename does not end with .cmd.txt. Copy the long shader values rather than retyping them.

Launch, compare, and undo

Start the emulator through the CMD file and load the same familiar scene. The later recording has less of the heavy veil, but still contains rendering artifacts, including missing/incorrect detail. This skips selected graphics passes; it is a build-specific experiment, not a complete lighting fix. To return to the normal path, close the emulator and open lichii.exe directly. See the upstream rendering investigation for context. A setting for another renderer build is not automatically compatible.
