PC Zelda fans, get ready for some amazing news. It appears that two unofficial native PC ports of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess are currently in development. Once they are complete, these projects will allow you to enjoy this Zelda game on PC.
The first project is called Courage Reborn. Courage Reborn was revealed to the public last week. Its initial trailer caught the eye of everyone, especially since it was running at 60FPS. However, there was a catch.
You see, this PC port is still in an early stage of development. Not only that, but the 60 FPS implementation isn’t great. As with many older emulated games, the game’s logic is effectively doubled when running at 60 FPS. That’s a big no-no for me. I understand it’s still early, but the modding team should have waited until they had a proper 60 FPS implementation in place.
The second project is called Dusk. Yesterday, its dev team released the first trailer for it. From what I can see, the gameplay footage in it still runs at 30FPS. The team claims that when the PC port is out, it will have support for unlocked framerates. However, apart from a cut-scene, we did not get a glimpse at the game running with 60FPS or 120FPS. Moreover, the on-screen prompts are still for gamepads, so I don’t know whether it will have native KB&M support.
Anyway, it’s good to see two teams working on PC ports of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. And, since there is now competition, I’m certain that one of them will be released really soon.
For those wondering, no. Nintendo will not be able to shut them down. Neither of these projects will include any in-game assets. As such, Nintendo will not be able to take them down.
In case you are into projects like these, you can also download the unofficial PC port of Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Crash Team Racing, Duke Nukem: Zero Hour, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask, Perfect Dark, Jak & Daxter, Mario Party 4, and Sonic Unleashed.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
