As you might know, a special version of Zelda Ocarina of Time has been leaked. Unfortunately, Zelda Master Quest doesn't work with the lastest public release of UltraHLE 2064. But do not worry, the next version runs it smoothly. A special update will be released very soon in order to let the Zelda fans enjoy it at full speed.

A( All it takes is one guy at Nintendo to think, "Hey, I'll copy this game and take it home to play." Then her/his friends see the awesome game and want a copy. Then their friends see it and want a copy. Soon it shows up on rom sites and P2P programs...simple as that
B( The big "N" gets hacked and someone steals the rom...although that would be iffy, cause there would be less of a chance of getting a final edition rom. There would be more of a chance of getting a beta.

I thought of a theory of what happened with Master Quest. If I understand everything, Master Quest was released for N64 DD in Japan ONLY. Not alot of people bought it, cause, why would I want to buy a add-on and an another game just to play a litte Zelda? So on down the road, N decides to release it on the GC so that us stupid Americans won't put 2+2 together and Nintendo won't have to admit it failed AGAIN (This is what happens when people get greedy...). Anyway, I say they got all their geeky little programmers together and told them to make the JAP Master Quest its own game (not an add-on, but an actual cartridge). Then when that was finished, they had to translated it into English (hence URA Zelda), and then converted into Gamecube code (PowerPC?). They may of skipped around a little on the steps, but this seemed most logical to produce a 99% air-tight game...

Yeah...I didn't hear anything about it being released on N64...only on the special edition of Zelda: The Wind Waker on the Gamecube... *shrug*

The Gamecube version is a port. There are actual changes to it, such as the button mapping/icons.
Also, Gamecube cannot natively execute an N64 binary. Gamecube is a PowerPC 750cx, while N64 is a MIPS R4300i.
As for the ROM, I think Nintendo had plans to release it on N64, but decided it wouldn't sell very well, since it was only a remix of OOT.
I'm happy they ported OOT and MQ to Gamecube though. I just wish they had Majora's Mask on there too. It would have been simple to add it on there.
