The rapid advancement of AI tools has enabled older console games to make their way to PC at a pace previously impossible. Gamers worldwide have vibecoded games like Halo: Combat Evolved,Super Mario Galaxy, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai, and Need for Speed Underground 2 into their browsers, and others like and others like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate have made their way to PC.

The pace has become so alarming that guardrails have been put in place on Claude to make these types of ports more difficult. They don’t seem to have worked, though, and players are up to their old tricks, as on the launch day of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time’s remake, they have got it running on PC.

The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Already Has A PC Port

In what is likely to be a huge legal minefield, players on Reddit are currently showing off working versions of the Switch 2 version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on their PC. The game was dumped mere moments after it was released on the Nintendo Switch eShop, and copies have been circulated all over the internet.

Some complaints say frame rates will only reach around 24 fps and that it’s littered with bugs, but those will likely be fixed in no time—provided Nintendo’s hit squad doesn’t go nuclear, which it likely will.

For years, Nintendo has gone after those who illegally share ROMs of its games, winning millions in damages, and those games certainly weren’t as fresh as the critically acclaimed Ocarina of Time remake. Some reports suggest that the OoT ports have begun to be removed, but like Hydra, as soon as you remove one head, more pop up, and the damage is done.

It’s hardly the first time that a game has been cracked on day one, but it is one of the first times it has happened to Nintendo, and with such a high-profile title.

Earlier this year, Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, Pragmata, Control Resonant, and Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced were all cracked before launch. In a show of solidarity with the development teams, especially in times of strife in the games industry, many admitted they wouldn’t pirate those games. That doesn’t seem to be the case with Ocarina of Time, though, as hundreds of comments across Reddit have suggest people are excited to get the game for nothing.
