Decompilation progress report for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

Given how fervent Zelda fans are, we'll see PC ports pretty fast I think.

Nintendo got a Gamecube emulator running on the NVidia Shield, in China only. The version of TP released on it got upscaled textures - different from the Wii U HD version. Never went anywhere else. This was around 2019. I never heard of any particular difference, it was just an emulator after all.

Looking up more details - the emulator came out with TP and a couple other games in late 2017, and the upscaled textures were udpated in 2019.

Ahhh that makes a bit more sense but a cool bit of trivia at least.

I know the shield uses the same processor as the switch 1 (or something very similar), so I wondered if there was a chance of an actual native port, but then I guess we'd have also seen a switch native version in that case
