The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening Remake Reaches Android Thanks to Fan Port
Translated with AI from the Russian original.
Another Nintendo exclusive falls victim to vibecoding.
A developer under the nickname Nycolazs has released an unofficial Android port of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening remake. He based it on LAS Recomp — a fan project that previously allowed the game from Nintendo Switch to be ported to Windows, Linux, and macOS.
The mobile version received touch controls that adapt to what is happening in the game. Buttons for the sword, shield, and other items appear on the screen as needed, and their location and size can be customized.
The author tested the port on a Samsung Galaxy S20 FE with Snapdragon 865 and reported a stable 60 FPS when using 2x frame generation. Performance may be higher or lower on other devices. In the project discussion on Reddit, users also report crashes, graphical errors, and control issues.
To run it, you will need Android 11 or newer, your own copy of Link’s Awakening for Nintendo Switch version 1.0.0, and the corresponding keys. Code compilation is performed directly on the smartphone and took about 11 minutes on the developer's Galaxy S20 FE.
