Fans of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess are finally completing a years-long mission to completely decompile the GameCube version of the iconic RPG, and we can only guess that a PC port isn’t far away
Legend of Zelda fans have fully decompiled Twilight Princess, paving the way for a potential port for PC fans down the line.
Given the popularity of the Ocarina of Time Ship of Harkinian port decompilation and the Majora’s Mask 2Ship2Harkinian port decompilation, fans are understandably eager to get to work on the other 3D Zelda games. Luckily for them, as one ResetEra user noticed, the GameCube classic The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is now 100% decompiled after more than two years (the first files on GitHub being dated August 9, 2023).
One of the best retro gaming trends of the 2020s has been fan decompilation efforts – a process of taking the game back to its source code, which then creates the opportunity to tinker with it. The excellent PC port of Super Mario 64 in 2020 seemed like a starting point, and since then we’ve had some incredible ways to play other N64 classics like Mario Kart 64, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask – and even Xbox 360 games, with Sonic Unleashed arriving earlier this year.
