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.
I’m not sure Nintendo cares about what’s legal
It doesn’t matter what Nintendo cares, if it is legal.
The experience and risks of being sued depends heavily on the amount of money you have. Just being sued, even if eventually unsubstantiated, sucks hard. It consumes time, energy, and money, and all this time you live with the “but what if I get the one bad judge?”
Sued for what? There is nothing Nintendo can sue for. Also we talked about Cease and Desist before, not sueing. Also can you explain me, if you are right, why Nintendo didn’t do that with prior decompilation projects of Mario and Zelda games that reached 100% and are played on a variety of systems now?

A c&d is a precursor of being sued. If you do not cease and desist, what is the result of that?

I can explain to you, that Nintendo is famous for suing people implementing emulators of their platforms and is also going after things like palworld. It is new information to me, that these decompilation projects exist. I guess they are niche enough to not be interesting to nintendo right now. This does not remove all the other cases where nintendo went after people with lawsuits.
As said, there is nothing Nintendo can sue for. Therefore, what Cease and desist should it be?
Best LoZ game.
Hey now, it wasn’t even the best LoZ game on the GameCube.
Some of the best stuff in gaming will never be part of an official Game Awards. That’s a shame.
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.
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).
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.
Yeah, I’m sure it will be. I just need to make time for it. Currently playing pokemon za and after that I’m going to play Metroid prime 3 before I play 4.
I remember somebody talking about how speedrunners of that game had a really difficult time looking for wrong warps which were common methods in previous titles.
