# NX2navi: static recompilation of Ocarina of Time for Windows

> NX2navi statically recompiles the Nintendo Switch 2 version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time into a Windows x86-64 application. Its pipeline lifts ARM64 modules to C, implements console services on the host, and renders through Vulkan. A launcher builds the port locally from the user's game files.
