Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon: a Windows port of decompiled CD-i code

The Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon PC port runs the CD-i game's decompiled C code natively on Windows. An SDL3-based layer replaces video, audio, disc and input hardware behavior while loading game data from the user's own disc image. The port supports five regional releases.
