According to a recent report from PC Gamer, 'Ship of Harkinian' is now out, bringing the near quarter of a century old Ocarina of Time to PC. Anyone interested in downloading the port can download it from the developer's Discord channel. Alongside that, a brief video was uploaded to the team's YouTube channel, which runs through some of the features that this unofficial version has. It also makes sure to mention that players will need to have a ROM version of the game in order to play it on PC.
This latest iteration of the beloved game comes with updated HD graphics, widescreen support, as well as compatibility with both keyboard and controller. It's also said to support modding as well, so it will be interesting to see the ways in which the community will tinker with this port. In fact, modding was already being experimented with before the port was even made publicly available.
The project was made possible by modders reverse-engineering the Ocarina of Time code, which took a couple of years to achieve. Essentially, this means that the PC port has been built from the ground up and does not use assets from the original game, which should hopefully mean that the developer won't receive a letter from Nintendo's legal department.
As if that wasn't enough, there are a bunch of modders working on more than 20 Nintendo 64 ports, which includes such classics as Perfect Dark, Paper Mario, Bomberman 64, and Conker's Bad Fur Day. With there are also being rumors that a remaster of GoldenEye 64 is in development, right now seems to be a good time to be a gamer, with a lot of classic games from a bygone era making their way back into the limelight.
