It's an unofficial port off the back of a decomp. Just like every other unofficial PC port off the back of a decomp that is also referred to as a PC port. One example is SoH's FAQ:
Name checks out.
no its def a port. Its a code port directly from the decompiled source code. Not a remake nor a reimplementation
So no awful waggle controls? Nice.
I get that people call these decomp-based projects "ports," but that's not accurate.
Words do matter, but when clarification is needed putting a word in front of port to is enough for most. Context also matters, and on VGE's channel where he talks about decomps you know it isn't an official port. I don't think anyone that gets this far is going to be misled.
fans are outdoing Nintendo's paltry efforts at every turn

Or you're just talkin out your ass and coming up with your own definition because you're pissy about the word "port".
That's pedantic and wrong.
It's going to happen. Now that TP is done, it looks like Windwaker is the next Zelda getting decompiled at full speed. It'll probably be Skyward Sword after that.
Twilight Princess is my favorite Zelda. Yes it was a retread of Ocarina but it had some truly excellent dungeons. I'd like to see the next mainline Zelda game incorporate some of this.
This literally doesn't matter. Whether it's done by the original developers or not, taking code from one device to another would be porting the code. I get where you're coming from, but no one will care one way or another. It's the closest thing to a "port" to what is considered to be a port. It's just easier this way. Whether it's right or not won't matter to most people.
I want Twilight Princess to come to Switch 2, with full 60 fps...but if Nintendo drags their heels on this....I could see myself playing this way.
The few "PC ports" I've tried still require you to provide the original game's files.
Are you unfamiliar about Decompilation projects? Your not simply downloading the whole game and hitting Run on an .exe
Well the HD version shortened the boring light gathering sections at least. That's the only thing I hated about the original.
Basically this, unless they make a full remake with new visuals, QoL and improved gameplay. Like Thousand Year Door or Link's Awakening.
Ive finally seen these OOT showcases and they have more and more excited for the rumored remake.
