- Reported result
- Works. This is the directory's source-based outcome classification.
- Independent confirmation
- Not reported.
- Human work and limitations
- The project distinguishes between the port repository and a separate decompilation repository. The port uses a local build process to generate the executable from user-provided dumps.

What was done
Wind Waker HD Recomp is a static recompilation project that translates Wii U PowerPC code to C, enabling native execution on macOS, Linux, Windows, and Android without Cemu runtime or GPU command emulation.
Wind Waker HD Recomp is a static recompilation project that enables the Wii U version of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD to run natively on macOS (Apple Silicon), Linux, Windows, and Android. The project translates the game's original PowerPC code into C, reimplements Cafe OS libraries, and maps GX2 graphics directly to Metal or Vulkan. This approach avoids the use of Cemu runtime or GPU command emulation. The project includes a world editor that supports integration with AI assistants via MCP. Development commits, including those for the v0.4.0 release, credit Claude Opus 5.5 as a co-author. The project also maintains a separate decompilation effort, which provides readable C++ source code for the game, with functions tested against the original. Users must provide their own legally obtained game dumps, as the repository contains no game code, assets, or encryption keys. Setup processes are handled locally on the user's machine.
