The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

About

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is a 1998 action-adventure game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64, the first Zelda game with 3D graphics. This is a work-in-progress decompilation of Ocarina of Time, reconstructing the source purely from analysis of the released game rather than any leaked code, and supporting numerous original ROM revisions — NTSC and PAL N64 releases plus several GameCube and iQue re-releases — rather than producing a PC port.

Known issues & limitations

• compatibility: Work in progress; some parts of the ROM may not be 'shiftable' yet, making modifications difficult at this point.
• The project is still evolving; modding code may change drastically, and some ROM parts may be difficult to modify.
