A developer has utilized AI tools, specifically OpenAI's Codex and GPT-5.6 Sol, to create a native iOS port of the classic Nintendo 64 game, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. This new version, named HarkinianPad, is built upon an existing decompiled codebase and offers enhanced features such as widescreen support, 60 FPS gameplay, and touch controls, all without requiring traditional emulation. The project is open-source and available on GitHub, though users must provide their own legally obtained game ROM. AI
