Wind Waker HD for PlayStation 5: a port of ZeldaWWHDRecomp

Wind Waker HD for PlayStation 5 ports ZeldaWWHDRecomp to a homebrew-enabled PS5, compiling Wii U PowerPC code from the user's dump and drawing GX2 graphics through the recompilation's Vulkan renderer on RADV. The author reports reaching the first island after the prologue on one console; later areas remain unmeasured.
