In the age of modern games, there’s a significant demand for classic titles dating back to the early 1990s. Games that were available on the Nintendo 64 and Nintendo DS have lost their charm to the masses, but they are still craved by many. To cater to this demand, emulation has made its way into the scene, allowing various old games to be played on modern systems. But old games aren’t just limited to emulation. Some are worked on by developers to fully support modern systems. One such classic title is Ship of Harkinian (Zelda: Ocarina of Time). Zelda: Ocarina of Time is one of the most popular games in the series, dating back to 1998. And, developer Harbour Masters has introduced an unofficial source port of the game that supports most platforms, including Microsoft Windows, Linux, macOS, Wii U, and Nintendo Switch. Since the game is available on PC as well as Linux, it is obvious that details regarding its compatibility with handheld systems like Steam Deck, Asus Rog Ally, and Lenovo Legion are something that players would want to know. If you’re wondering the same, here’s everything regarding the same.
When it comes to PC handhelds, the Steam Deck is hands down the most popular handheld, featuring a vast library of Steam games. But unlike the Rog Ally and Lenovo Legion Go, it runs on a Linux-based SteamOS, which is the primary reason why most gamers inquire about a game’s compatibility with it. Since the Ally and Legion Go run on Windows, they can run almost all PC games, but the same cannot be said for the Steam Deck. Likewise, let’s see whether Ship of Harkinian (Zelda: Ocarina of Time) is compatible with it.

Ship of Harkinian (Zelda: Ocarina of Time) Steam Deck, Lenovo Legion Go & Asus Rog Ally Support Details
Steam Deck
Well, there is good news as well as bad news. The good news is that Ship of Harkinian (Zelda Ocarina of Time) has been reported to run flawlessly on the Steam Deck. It supports controller inputs and runs at a consistent 60 FPS throughout. However, the bad news is that installing the game on your Deck isn’t as easy as installing any game that’s available on Steam. To get Ship of Harkinian running on the Deck, you will have to download the latest Linux version of Ship of Harkinian and then proceed to get access to a usable ROM of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Once done, you will have to begin the Asset Extraction process, and only then will you be able to launch the game. We have just mentioned a brief overview of the process, so for more details, you can take a look at this guide by MonroeWorld on YouTube:
Asus Rog Ally and Lenovo Legion Go
It shouldn’t be surprising that you can indeed enjoy the game on your Asus Rog Ally and Lenovo Legion Go. Just like the Deck, a similar process has to be followed to get the game running on both of these handhelds. You will first have to get the Windows version of Ship of Harkinian and then dump the usable ROM of Zelda: Ocarina of Time to begin the Asset Extraction process.
Note: Obtaining a usable ROM of a game that you haven’t purchased is considered piracy. We, at Android Gram, don’t support or encourage piracy in any way.
