Link's Awakening Decompilation

DecompilationSporadic

Source code reconstructed from the original game's compiled binary, so the game can be understood, rebuilt and ported.

About

A Ghidra-based decompilation of the 2019 Nintendo Switch remake of Link's Awakening.

Getting started

You must provide your own unaltered main file. The README uses Ghidra 10.4 with SwitchLoader 1.6.0: import the file, run the auto analyzer, then add the main.xml from the repository's latest release to the program. To export your work, choose XML and deselect memory contents so the code binaries are not included.

What you need to run it

Original game files required. The project ships code only; you provide your own copy of the game (Switch version).

Additional notes

Versions: The author does not know whether other Ghidra or SwitchLoader versions are compatible.
