This sounds like a loading bar for Nintendo's lawyer, once it reach 100% they send c&d letter

    Never happened with many Zelda and Mario games before. They are on the safe side, if the code is 100% self written. The assets are not part of the project, they can be extracted from the official games. This is legal.

    C&D is part of the SLAPP suits strategy, and isn't really about legal or not, it's intimidation until someone give up due to the legal fee of fighting said lawsuit. It happened to Yuzu, while pretty much other nintendo emulator still around.

    This is not what happened to Yuzu. They gave up, because the Yuzu team would lose the case. Nintendo collected evidence in their Discord server, how the developers of Yuzu shared Tears of the Kingdom millionth of times. It was 100% not legal. On the other side, we are talking about legal projects like decompiling.

    If you are so right, why didn't Nintendo Cease and Desist prior projects? What makes it Twilight Princess so different or special, that it will happen now? I know why, because Nintendo can't do anything here. Cease and Desist letters are a personal request, not a legal threat. If the team ignores it, nothing will happen.

    Best story, for sure. Most emotionally affecting is Majora's, for me, but TP is close.

    Don't think the gameplay holds up. The Wii version is pure waggle, but even on the Gamecube, there's a lot of filler - empty space and backtracking. Doesn't respect your gaming time.

    Which one most respects your time? (While being a good game as well)

    Zelda 3? You get fast travel quite early and the world is packed with stuff, it's not absurdly huge. Doesn't have that bloody owl in it either, telling you the obvious at great length.

    Certainly not Wind Waker, anyway. Now there is a slow game.

    It will be cool to get a pc port of this.

    I’ve been meaning to replay this game as I have basically 0 memory of it.

    Do it! I just replayed it recently after having last played it when it came out. It still holds up. Fun and really charming, plus nostalgic af to boot.

    For some strange reason I can't play this game properly on the Nintendo Switch... This project gives me the hope Nintendo didn't want to give me (still coping for Wind Waker now I guess).

    Some of the best stuff in gaming will never be part of an official Game Awards. That's a shame.
