# TotK Recomp: statically recompiling Tears of the Kingdom

> TotK Recomp statically recompiles The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom into a native x86-64 program for Windows and Linux, with a Vulkan renderer. It accepts the base game plus update 1.1.0, 1.2.1, or 1.4.3 as NSP, XCI, NSZ, or XCZ. Windows setup needs Windows 10 or later, SSE4.2, and Vulkan 1.3. Linux needs Linux 6.7 or later and glibc 2.34 or later. The toolchain steps are in docs/building.md.
