The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

A work-in-progress decompilation of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker for GameCube.

This repository does not contain any game assets or assembly whatsoever. An existing copy of the game is required.

All GameCube versions are supported:

GZLE01: Rev 0 (USA), Rev 48 (KOR)
GZLP01: Rev 0 (PAL)
GZLJ01: Rev 0 (JPN)

Dependencies

Windows:

On Windows, it's highly recommended to use native tooling. WSL or msys2 are not required.
When running under WSL, objdiff is unable to get filesystem notifications for automatic rebuilds.

Install Python and add it to %PATH%.
- Also available from the Windows Store.
Download ninja and add it to %PATH%.
- Quick install via pip: pip install ninja

macOS:

Install ninja:
```
brew install ninja
```

Install wine-crossover:

brew install --cask --no-quarantine gcenx/wine/wine-crossover

After OS upgrades, if macOS complains about Wine Crossover.app being unverified, you can unquarantine it using:

sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine '/Applications/Wine Crossover.app'

Linux:

Install ninja.
For non-x86(_64) platforms: Install wine from your package manager.
- For x86(_64), WiBo, a minimal 32-bit Windows binary wrapper, will be automatically downloaded and used.

Building

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/zeldaret/tww.git

Using Dolphin Emulator, extract your game to orig/GZLE01 (or GZLJ01 for JPN, GZLP01 for PAL).
- To save space, the only necessary files are the following. Any others can be deleted.
  - sys/main.dol
  - files/rels/*.rel
  - files/RELS.arc
Configure:
```
python configure.py
```
To use a version other than GZLE01 (USA), specify --version GZLJ01 (JPN) or --version GZLP01 (PAL).
Build:
```
ninja
```

Diffing

Once the initial build succeeds, an objdiff.json should exist in the project root.

Download the latest release from encounter/objdiff. Under project settings, set Project directory. The configuration should be loaded automatically.

Select an object from the left sidebar to begin diffing. Changes to the project will rebuild automatically: changes to source files, headers, configure.py, splits.txt or symbols.txt.
