Lineage: Hookshot, NX2navi, and credits

Understanding how Triforce came together clarifies discussions across r/zelda, r/pcgaming, and emulation forums when readers search triforce recomp reddit or triforce project:

  • Hookshot & a64-kit foundation: NotRexed created Hookshot (oot-recomp), building on BlueShell (Mario Kart World recomp), Skybound, and a64-kit.
  • Triforce lead engineering: Created and led by Evil (author of Triforce Setup, GPU canopy/foliage culling repairs, ambient light probes, pond water, native fog, save-load freeze fix, and VRAM pool survival) alongside chrg6.
  • NX2navi unification (November 2026): After 15 releases and 645,865+ downloads on GitHub, tangerineturtle1/NX2navi shipped its v0.12.0 bridge launcher and joined forces with Triforce so Windows and Linux work continues under one roof.
  • Upstream open-source foundations: Shader and host layers incorporate GPL/MIT work from Eden & Eglantine (SM86 shader recompiler), suyu, seedds (nxnative task/mesh shaders), zortos293 (Lichii Ampere lowering & CAS fix), mstorsjo (llvm-mingw), kinnay (zbic), sostenesfreitas (ocarina-recomp), MythosOfs (Orchid), clshortfuse (RenoDX HDR), and Mesa NAK.

RecompLauncher manifest and companion wikis

The Triforce repository includes a root recomplauncher.json manifest so desktop launcher frontends can discover releases, options, saves, and RomFS mod paths automatically.

Inside recomplauncher.json

git clone https://git.triforceproject.com/triforce/source.git
cd source
cat recomplauncher.json
# binary: "Triforce.exe"
# config: "triforce_options.ini"
# saves:  "user/save"
# mods:   "mods"

Read the companion RecompLauncher configuration guide to manage multiple static recompilations side by side.
