    There is such news article every few months and yet no relevant emulators are down.

    I bet it’s a PR stunt but I have no idea who it could be aimed at.

      The PR stunt is aimed at the news cycle that’s been gobbling up engagement-baited comments from absolutely everyone by showing off OOT Remake on PC (via emulators or the recomp). Seriously, it’s catnip for clickbait. You get all of the following Very Engaged:

      • Nintendo fanboys (this is why nintendo is justified to do takedowns!)

      • PC Master Race / Sony fanboys (lol nintendo got owned!)

      • Anti-AI guys (all the current OOT stuff is vibe coded and that’s terrible)

      • Pro-AI guys (all the current OOT stuff is vibe coded and that’s awesome)

      All for the headline that implies you can play the shiniest new nostalgia bait Nintendo game on PC as easily and well as on the shiny new Nintendo console, which isn’t even the case the way it was the last time a Zelda emulation fiasco overtook the games news sphere.
