About Hookshot Guide

Hookshot Guide is an independent English-language guide for people building the Switch 2 edition of Ocarina of Time on a Windows or Linux PC using NotRexed’s Hookshot project.

What you can find here

The download guide identifies the upstream files. Platform walkthroughs take you through your first local build. Once the game runs, the controls guide and troubleshooting pages help you change a setting or isolate a specific symptom.

How we check instructions

We use the maintainer’s release assets, README, source documentation and issue reports. Where two projects document different layouts, as with Lichii save profiles, we explain how to identify the active one on your own computer. A report about one GPU or scene is identified as such.

Our relationship to the project

NotRexed maintains the Hookshot repository. Nintendo owns the game and associated marks. This guide operates independently of both. Software downloads take you to the publisher. You supply your own compatible game files.

If an instruction no longer matches the software, send a correction with the guide URL and the release you used.

Frequently asked questions

Who publishes the Hookshot software?

NotRexed and the project contributors publish the software through their repository. Hookshot Guide publishes independent articles. The publisher link in the download guide lets you check the source before choosing a file.

How can I tell a project requirement from a player report?

Follow the source linked beside the claim. The upstream requirements describe what the project expects. An issue report describes the hardware, software and scene that a particular player tried.
