New Unofficial PC Port for Majora's Mask Just Dropped

The legendary game, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, has just received another unofficial PC port. The new port by Harbour Masters features high frame rates, ultra-widescreen resolution, mod support, autosaves, faster mask transformations, skippable cutscenes, cheat options, and more. Unlike the previous port from earlier in May 2024 that used Recomp technology for faster Nintendo 64 game ports, Harbour Masters reverse-engineered the original N64 version for this release. This approach allows for larger scale features and more customization options. However, there are legal risks involved with unofficial Nintendo game ports, as seen with prior legal actions against emulator developers.

Harbour Masters' port is reverse-engineered from the original N64 version, allowing for more large-scale features, better customization, and mod support, unlike the Recomp version, which focuses on faster porting of N64 games.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask was originally released for the Nintendo 64 in 2000. The game is renowned for its darker tone and complex time-loop mechanic compared to other Zelda titles. Players navigate the world of Termina over three repeating days to prevent the moon from crashing into the world, adding a unique pressure and urgency to the game's exploration and puzzle-solving elements. This makes any new version or port of the game a significant event for fans and modders alike.
