The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
A top-down action-adventure game featuring a stylized toy-like aesthetic, where the protagonist explores Koholint Island to awaken the Wind Fish.
An experimental unofficial Mac port via NxNative has upstream-reported Mac testing. Testing included Mac runs up to the house, the beach, and the menus, incorporating stress tests with 12 busy shell loops to simulate high CPU load and identify racy physics crashes. Full-game reliability remains unverified, two specific post-process pixel shaders fail to translate, and memory layout values are estimates until measured. Requires Apple silicon and macOS 26.6 or later. Not an official Mac release.
