In certain instances during gameplay, having a scrolling 16:9 perspective will ruin puzzles and progression that hinges on the discrete screens of the original world map.
You're correct. From playing, I was pleased to see that secret rooms (specifically the bombable wall in Tail Cave hiding a room with a secret seashell) was thoughtfully obscured.
It was interesting to see that Kaepora Gaebora fades out after a certain distance as opposed to flying in that direction forever, and I did occasionally notice the odd visual stutter when distant "rooms" repopulate with monsters.
A lot of care went into this remake.
I saw a video on this earlier. Surprised Nintendo hasn't shut it down yet.
Same. What really gets me with this one is that the assets look ripped straight out of the original for the most part, not sure why they didn't go with the route of extracting them from supplied game files like most every other similar project I can think of. I can't imagine it'd be due to technical limitations.
I don't think it'll make it to the end of the day, but hey, at least they had the sense to keep it a secret until it was ready lol
They will. I have zero doubts about that. I grapped it as soon as I could.
Aaaand here is the takedown notice: takedown
I'm sure the Nintendo lawyers are furiously working on the C&D as we speak.
It being open source is a good sign. I'm not aware of Nintendo going after any open source projects.
Aaaand it's gone (12 hours ago).
It's gone :(

it's been taken down, but I've just been giving out the file to anyone who wants it. it's only 24mb so I suggest spreading it as far and wide as possible.
it's really a hell of a lot of fun to play. and there are more improvements than just the widescreen world view.
edit: I have just been sending it to people on discord. I could pop it on google drive and DM it to any who ask if you'd like.
Can I have one too? :(
There have been so many great fan remixes/remakes lately. Where can I go to find more before Nintendo does a nintendo?
Maybe find cases where Nintendo does a Nintendo, and then use the Wayback Machine to fetch it before the takedown?
I managed to get this working in Steam on Linux after struggling with the Heroic launcher. Heroic gave me the option to download the needed dotnet library but then didn't actually download it, causing me some confusion.
Steam and Protontricks got the job done. Very satisfying project.
