Ship of Harkinian Lands on Wii U Alongside 2 Ship 2 Harkinian Alpha

The Wii U just got its own native port of Ocarina of Time thanks to developer utking. Ship of Harkinian version 9.2.3 r1 is officially out for Nintendo’s dead console, complete with high-resolution texture pack support and a companion pack helper tool.

Running on firmware or homebrew setups using Aroma, the build targets 30 fps by default while keeping full TV and GamePad output. It builds directly on the GX2 renderer work by GaryOderNichts and the underlying engine from HarbourMasters and Kenix3. A companion alpha build of 2 Ship 2 Harkinian for Majora’s Mask dropped right alongside it.

Expect some minor clipping graphics bugs, and note that the save editor currently crashes the console. Heavy texture packs can also cause brief stuttering when entering new areas unless moved to internal storage or a fast drive.

How to Try It

1. Generate an oot.o2r file on a PC using desktop SoH 9.2.3 and an NTSC-U 1.2 ROM.
2. Copy soh.wuhb to sd:/wiiu/apps/, and place soh.o2r along with your ROM file into sd:/wiiu/apps/soh923/ on your SD card.
3. Launch the app from the Wii U Menu.
