Case study

EoWRecomp: static recompilation of Echoes of Wisdom

EoWRecomp translates The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom's Switch ARM64 modules into C ahead of time and runs them with native Horizon-service and NVN replacements. Its renderer uses Vulkan, including MoltenVK on macOS; the author reports that the Linux build reaches the opening and first controllable scene.
