    This is so neat to see. I played Twilight Princess for the first time last year where I started with it on a Wii, and then transferred my game save and ROM to PC and finished playing it using Henriko Magnifico's 4k texture mod and honestly got a tremendous amount of pleasure playing the game in HD with textures very faithful to the original design. I'm also really excited to play Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask using his textures as well.

    I think these projects that breath new life into these old games through improved frame rates, HD textures, and modern visual enhancements contribute to the timelessness of the games. There's something really special about a game that is so fundamentally great underneath that the only thing to improve is making it look fresh with modern visuals enhancement. Hard not to get excited seeing such amazing work come out of the retro gaming community from a place of pure love and passion!
