Haha, it's the power of NATURE! Behold as I cast various spells from the world of nature! Thorns entrap and entangle! Gravity bring forth your strength! Meteors of Heaven, unleash thy fury! Small bundle of deku sticks, smack the enemy around!
Okay, well I do believe lazy is in fact correct there. No OB1, in fact I haven't used an N64 emulator, except once on my dad's machine looking at OOT (it looked quite terrible and Zelda's hair shot straight into heaven for about 2 lightyears). My old machine most assuredly couldn't even begin to do that right, while on my new machine I haven't thought of any reason to do that. Little kids coming over wanting to play games hardly ever want to touch my N64 so I have no reason to use an emulator (that's why I Have them, in case someone wants to play some SNES game while I'm playing some other game). I just kinda gave it up, but now that I think about I'm sure there's plenty of little tricks to be able to fake 60 FPS. Though, from what I understand it seems certain effects are given up to do that. To be honest I wouldn't want to give up a single particle effect just for improved frame rate. As I said, it's nothing noticable.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
