Ship of Harkinian, OoT port, has been up for a long while already. and the Mario and OoT decomp have been up on GitHub for years. Nintendo has no legal ground to sue this project since they aren’t breaking any law, unlike many of the fan projects who are using Nintendo’s IP unauthorized.

I have no idea why people do this.
I mean, I like a number of old Nintendo games too. But I just cannot imagine putting this kind of work into something like this, where it’s almost certainly going to get taken down.
The worst is when people do things like create unauthorized sequels to games and that gets taken down. Like, you could have gone and created your own game with your own setting.

Like, I like the Metroid series too. But if all the people who like the series enough to have created unauthorized sequels in the series had just used a different setting and characters to make their Metroidvania, we could have had a fantastic unencumbered series.

Just cuz Nintendo is a company run by bitch-made cum guzzlers doesn’t mean its fans should bend over like that. It used to be that kids loved Mario and sonic, so they made a shit ton of Mario and sonic flash games. That’s good, creative, harmless, and gets attention because of the brand fandom.

Plus the forks are not on GitHub and other copies.

Sometimes you’re just passionate about something and want to share it. Maybe they were passionate aboutthat specific setting. Ever hear of fan fiction? Luckily, you can’t really take things down once they’re online. They can always be found, the more popular the easier it is to find.
