Set Up Ocarina of Time Remake in Lichii and Get Past the Black World

Recorded walkthrough · 6 November 2026

Install the recorded Windows Lichii build for the Zelda Ocarina of Time remake, add your compatible game package, then follow the black-world workaround at the point it occurs.

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.
