Nintendo's Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake launched on Switch 2 on November 5 and is already running on unofficial platforms. On a jailbroken PlayStation 5 (firmware 12.40), developer Vampinity demonstrated the game loading via EglantinePS5, a Switch emulator port based on Eden. Link reaches Kokiri Forest at 15–20 FPS before the emulator exhausts memory, causing white fog and missing geometry. Vampinity calls it "nowhere near playable" and credits Claude for patches, with shader work adapted from Lichii forks that ran the remake on PC at launch.
On iPhone 17 Pro Max, developer Joe Jiang showed Kokiri Forest running smoothly. The game requests ~9 GB, exceeding iOS's 8,192 MB per-app cap, but Jiang's method peaks at 3.4 GB while preserving quality. He claims the technique could bring any Switch or Switch 2 title to iOS, iPadOS, Apple TV, Android, and HarmonyOS, though it remains unreleased. Mario Kart World previously booted on iPhone after the first Switch 2 jailbreak. The PS5 port requires the Relapse jailbreak (firmware 7.00–13.60). Neither approach is practical yet, but the rapid breakout underscores emulation's pace.
