Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake already running on PC mere hours after Switch 2 launch

A recording appears to show the new Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake running on a PC only hours after its worldwide launch for Switch 2. The rapid appearance has surprised fans and highlights how quickly experimental emulation can follow a console release.

The player says they used an experimental Switch 2 emulator and made a copy from a game they own, with no piracy involved. The recording reports 60 frames per second in cutscenes and a GPU temperature of about 40°C; commenters also noted gameplay running at 20 to 30 frames per second. Nintendo has previously targeted Switch emulator repositories, and the article stresses that using an emulator remains a concern.
