Hookshot on Windows: Build and Launch the Ocarina of Time Remake

Build the Zelda Ocarina of Time remake for Windows using Hookshot. This guide walks through the Windows ZIP, the setup wizard, the Visual Studio C++ tools error, compilation and the first launch into Kokiri Forest.

Resources

Place the builder and wizard together

Extract the Windows Builder ZIP. Put Hookshot-Setup-Wizard.cmd beside HookshotBuilder.exe and the tools folder. The wizard is linked in the Discord resource below. Join the server first if that link does not open.
