The Humble stand With Ukraine Bundle came out strong when it launched last week, raising more than $2 million in just a single day.

It's a whopping big number, but it's also something of an understatement. According to the Stand With Ukraine bundle page, more than 473,900 bundles were sold, raising a grand total of $25,974,341, 100% of which will be divided between Razom for Ukraine, International Rescue Committee, International Medical Corps, and Direct Relief. Sales of the bundle ended on March 25.

https://www.dsogaming.com/news/the-second-unofficial-pc-port-of-the-legend-of-zelda-ocarina-of-time-is-available-for-download/
Earlier this month, we informed you about the release of the first unofficial PC port of The Legend of Zelda, Open Ocarina. However, that wasn’t the only PC port that was under development. Ship of Harkinian is another unofficial port and last week, its development team released its first public version.
Ship of Harkinian is a PC port of OoT allowing you to enjoy the game with modern controls, widescreen, high-resolution, gyroscopy and other great features.
This first version lacks a number of features, such as support for high framerates. Still, PC gamers can now enjoy the game in widescreen, which is cool.

Do note that this fan game is in a very early development stage. Still, the following videos will give you an idea of what you can expect from it (visually).
