## What it is
Zelda 64: Recompiled is a static recompilation of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (with Ocarina of Time planned) into a native PC port, built with N64: Recompiled and rendered via RT64. It requires the original game ROM and adds modern enhancements like widescreen, high framerates, gyro aim, autosaving, and mod support.

## Use cases
- play Majora's Mask natively on PC
- run a Zelda 64 port on Steam Deck or Linux
- play N64 games with widescreen and ultrawide support
- use mods with a Zelda 64 PC port
- play Majora's Mask at high framerates with low input lag
- use gyro aim and dual analog camera in a Zelda port

## When to choose
- you own the original Majora's Mask ROM and want a native PC port with modern enhancements
- you want mod support and graphical improvements beyond what emulators offer
- you want a plug-and-play experience on Windows, Linux, or macOS including Steam Deck

## When to avoid
- you don't own the original game, since no game assets are included
- your GPU lacks Direct3D 12, Vulkan 1.2, or Metal Tier 2 support
- you want to play other N64 games generally rather than Zelda 64 titles
