It has nothing to do with being purist for me. It's all about the game being fun. And the 3DS ports are simply not fun at all. So why bother using those (except for the obvious research for backporting to the N64 versions). At least, that's my logic. Whatever the 3DS port is "official" or not, is not relevant to me in the slightest. If the game is not fun, I mod it instead, hence my projects. That's what my goal is. To re-envision as I want OoT and MM to be. That's not different than what "official" Nintendo developers do since they envisoned the game as well. The only difference is that my work is "unofficial". It's just my belief that somewhere Nintendo isn't as invested in both games anymore as the community does. And that's understandable, since it's how corporations work. They move on to new projects.
Like I said. The original unmodded experience of both the N64, GC, VC and 3DS version won't do it for me anymore. Hence what this project is all about, including the hires pack (which I am overhauling to be even more faithful, so check the Discord).
And like I said before, you don't have to prefer to N64 version (on Dolphin or Project64) and you may definitely proceed with the 3DS port. But it does make me wonder why you even in this thread if it's not "relevant" to you since it's not considered "purist". Forgive me for my tone here, but I am just curious. I make these projects for like-minded individuals who are interested in enhancing the originals, and my audience is not those who prefer the 3DS port.
