Original: Late last year, a dedicated group of Zelda fans fully reverse engineered The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time into modern computer code. An effort to reverse engineer Majora’s Mask by the Zelda Reverse Engineering Team is currently underway. Harbour Masters reportedly plans to develop a PC port of Majora’s Mask once that game’s code has been fully reverse engineered.
Ship of Harkinian is available for download on the group’s Discord server right here.
