MODERATORS
And the SM64 PC port has existed for years at this point and has no sign of being taken down. You know why? They don't distribute copyrighted assets. The people that made the Link's Awakening port screwed up, plain and simple. There's no other explanation for why their project gotten taken down and not SM64 or OoT ports, which are monumentally bigger games for Nintendo.
Source code is also copyrighted and people keep releasing "reverse-engineered" games that are just reusing original decompiled code. This MIGHT be legal in US according to some weird law people keep referencing, but pretty much guaranteed to be illegal in most of the world.
