Before there ever was a Game Boy, Nintendo had the Game & Watch, the company's first successful handheld that invented the D-pad. Since the original Donkey Kong G&W, Nintendo has done modern re-releases as recently as 2021 when the Zelda edition came out to celebrate the franchise's 35th anniversary. Now, on Zelda's 40th birthday, an enthusiast has decided to take that Game & Watch and mod it into a proper retro emulator.
