why legend of zelda series not made in pc?


Recommended Posts

Because Nintendo owns the rights to the Zelda series, and if they sold them to a PC game company, they (nintendo) would probably go bankrupt :laugh:

Don't get me wrong, I love gamecube and all the games, but Zelda, Metroid, and any Mario concoction seem to be the only things keeping the company afloat sometimes.

In the video game industry, a first-party developer is a developer who is part of a company that actually manufactures a video game console. First-party developers may either use the name of the company itself (like Nintendo), or have a specific division name (like Sony's 989 Studios). Unlike second-party developers, however, the first-party developer is considered part of the manufacturer, not a separate entity, and are wholly-owned by the console manufacturer.

If you wan't to play Zelda on the PC you can use emulators. Of couse to keep it legal you have to own the system and game. But if you do then it's compleatly legal to place the games on computer under emulation. Legend of Zelda: OT is a awsome game and I have it on my pc and then N64 is sitting away in the closet.

oh yes i played

legend of zelda:ocarina of time

legend of zelda:majora's mask

legend of zelda:link to the past

legend of zelda:minish the cap

cloudstrife unlike popular belief ,even if you own the games and the system its still illegal to have a rom image.

The emualtor itself is legal but the rom image isnt.

Unless the company specifically states that they allow it its illegal.

Then what ya supsto do wit the emulator? I guess im illegal. But if I own the game I see no problem with it.

I ended up picking up a gamecube from the pawn shop for 30 bucks to play it. For the system and game it ended up costing $40US :)

I doubt the gamecube will be perfectly emulated in any reasonable amount of time.

Actually, decent, popular Mario/Metroid/Zelda games are relatively few and far between.

Nintendo isn't "staying afloat", they've got a ton of cash in the bank.

If anything's driving Nintendo's bank balance at the moment, it's Pok?mon and Nintendogs.

    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
    • Watch Louis Rossmann's recent experience on YouTube about trying to get a warranty replacement from Samsung. It's crazy.
    • That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.
    • They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
    • Gotta' buy that there Rufus guy a beer if I ever meet him. He makes good stuff.
