Enthusiasts released the open‑source Hookshot project, which enables the native launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on Windows and Linux computers. Unlike traditional emulators, Hookshot runs the game directly on the PC hardware.
The project is publicly available and targets the remake intended for the upcoming Switch 2 console, offering gamers a way to play the title without using emulation layers.
