The 3ds has been injected into an n64 rom, but if your looking for HD textures then you dont want the 3ds, its shit, fans have done far better than greggo.

Grezzo's port was released as a launch title for a 2011 handheld, revamping the game's graphics in its entirety, improving performance, and adding various qol fixes, I wouldn't call it "trash".

Reloaded texture pack looks pretty good

While I agree, Nintendo has dome things for very ridiculous reasons, nothing illegal is happening.
They aren't distributing any code written by Nintendo, or any Nintendo IP assets, so technically they're not able to legally charge these people with anything.
It's one of the reasons I love these decompilation projects.

Oh, I see! Nothing to worry about then!

Wow impressive how unnecessary this whole thing is. You could play ( and im not talking about 3ds port ) this game on your pc with hd textures loooooooong ago. Wow OoT being pc native! I'm sure this people are the ones using blurring crt filters when emulating.

Should be illegal to lock downloads behind a fucking Discord link. Stop doing that guys.

Unnecessary why? Trying to troll?
This is not just a native port, it brings lots of hacks that makes it much more fun to play again.
Many of the upgrades from 3DS are implemented in this port, like having boots on c-button. It also brings Quality of life hacks like faster walking and climbing. There's much more you can adjust, take a look.
And finally, now you can also have updated graphics. I will say this is the best way to replay OOT.

Ultrawide resolutions being supported already puts this well above emulation. Better camera controls, using both analog sticks properly. Interpolation for smooth gameplay. Yeah, this is completely unnecessary…
