Last month, we shared a video that showcased an unofficial PC port of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. And today, we are happy to report that this unofficial PC port will release on April 1st. Moreover, and on March 22nd, this fan project will get a “Nintendo Direct”-style presentation.
This unofficial PC port of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time won’t release with any in-game assets. In other words, it will be a similar release to Super Mario 64 PC.
In short, and since the game’s code was leaked, indie devs were able to reverse engineer the entire project. By featuring clean code, these devs can release this project to the public (and Nintendo cannot do anything at all to stop it). Then, people can download it and can compile it themselves.
It will be interesting to see whether we’ll get any Ray Tracing Mod for it. After all, Super Mario 64 has already received a similar mod that implemented Ray Tracing effects. We can also expect some 4K Texture Packs for it. And lastly, let’s hope that someone will be able to implement proper keyboard and mouse support (with proper on-screen K&M prompts).
Stay tuned for more!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

Nintendo is already sending they hitman’s
Ocarina of C&D.
“By featuring clean code, these devs can release this project to the public (and Nintendo cannot do anything at all to stop it). “
It’s just I don’t trust Nintendo even if they themselves approved of this project.
April 1st!!! Hnnn ?
first april? ‘-‘
is this really a joke or is it a method to confuse nintendolol
The remake using citra is better.
yes but does it work well? perfomance for example? Can i map the mouse like ps2 and gamecube emulators?
Runs perfect. It’s better with a controller, I don’t think Citra has mouse mapping.
Yes it works very well and it is a lot more beautiful :

If they add the texture replacement on PC version it could be interesting…
This project does not exist because of any leaked code; it precedes any leaked code, much like the SM64 PC port, which also preceded any leaks. The reverse engineering was done without relying on illegally leaked code.
So only Middle of March (roughly) and people are doing April Fools jokes.
April fools then…
This is my thought.
