The team behind Nintendo 64 PC ports has moved to GameCube, and Twilight Princess is first in line

Harbour Masters, if you aren’t aware, is the team behind some of the most polished Nintendo 64 PC ports, including Mario Kart 64, Super Mario 64, Star Fox 64, and more. Harbour Masters, previously known as Harbour Masters 64, has now upgraded its arsenal of tools to handle GameCube titles and is already working on porting its first GameCube title to PC.

Spotted by SteamDeckHQ,  Harbour Masters is extending its custom Libultraship translation layer beyond the N64 era to focus on porting popular GameCube titles to PC. The results have been promising.

The first major achievement to come out of this work is Twilight Princess: Courage Reborn, a native PC port of the GameCube version of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. The project was spearheaded by Linifadomra’s team and has progressed incredibly quickly, thanks to support from Harbour Masters.

Nearly ready for release

Current builds of the native PC port run at a stable 60 FPS with full keyboard and mouse support. The project is almost complete, with the team citing only minor cutscene bugs and polishing issues.

Harbour Masters will handle and contribute to development assistance, as well as provide long-term support, while Linifadomra’s team will retain creative control of the PC port. For context, this PC port is entirely separate from another ongoing effort called Twilight Princess: Dusklight.

In an announcement on Harbour Masters’ Discord server, the team stated:

“Through collaboration with the incredible team over at Linifadomra, Twilight Princess: Courage Reborn will be developed using LUS. Linifadomra retains full creative freedom and will continue to produce the results their community has come to expect.”

“Harbour Masters will provide development assistance as needed and long-term support, plus visibility. We look forward to a meaningful relationship with the team and any future collaborations.”

An 'improved' with potential support for handhelds

Courage Reborn is expected to introduce a host of quality-of-life features appropriate for a 2026 PC port, including widescreen support, unlocked resolutions, an uncapped frame rate, overhauled texture packs, and compatibility with mods. Further additions include mouse and gyro aiming options, accessibility options, and in-game menus to tweak settings on the fly.

The team is also discussing the possibility of mobile and Switch homebrew ports alongside the main PC version.
