The Wind Waker received Android, iOS, and PC versions without emulation
A recompiled version of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD has arrived on Android and PC, with a separate project also available for iOS. Running the game requires the original game version and specific necessary files.
Enthusiasts have released a recompiled version of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD, originally created for the Nintendo Wii U. The project allows the game to run directly on Android and PC without full console emulation. A separate native implementation exists for iOS.
The Android version is distributed via GitHub. However, the installation file alone is not enough; users need the original game files — specifically a .wux or .wud format image, a .key game key, and a common.key console key. Only the US and European versions of The Wind Waker are supported.
Graphics are handled by Vulkan, and controls have been adapted for mobile devices. Support includes touchscreens, external controllers, and keyboard/mouse setups, meaning the game can be played on both smartphones and traditional PCs.
There are also additional features for those looking to get the most out of the project. Using LSFG 3 from Lossless Scaling enables frame generation at 60, 90, or 120 FPS. Five save slots are provided, each displaying a thumbnail image, timestamp, and location. Additionally, save files can be imported and exported.
A separate project called BlueWake has been developed for iPhone and iPad; its creators also claim native execution of The Wind Waker.
