Very briefly tested the AppImage. It complained that my dump of the game wasn’t a supported version (SHA-1 hash mismatch), but the intro ran. For more I would have had to plug in a gamepad.

Why is it always Twilight Princess that gets this treatment?

[–] TALL421@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

Because it's decomp is done?

It’s not? OoT has a nice pc port too.

Not to mention that Twilight Princess is a good game, and beloved by many.

Majora's Mask uses the same underlying port as OoT (I think; Ship of Harkinian for OoT and 2 ship 2 harkinian for MM) and is also really nice to play. Being able to use the D-pad for items is a great QoL improvement. Especially when climbing the stupid Stone Tower.

I had a short flight today, so I played this at the airport and on the plane.

The intro leading up to the first dungeon is so long.

I played this when I was in high school, so literally almost no memories of it. I’m looking forward to a second playthrough.

Yeah, the intro is a bit long, no denying that. I personally find the build up worth it though in terms of narrative payoff. But I do always dread the slow start when I replay it. Fair.
