+# The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
+
+**Work in progress!** This project aims to recreate source code for ***The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass*** by decompiling
+assembly code by hand. **The repository only contains code.** To build the ROM, you must own an existing copy of the game to
+extract assets from.
+
+**Note:** The project can not build a ROM yet. Furthermore, it only targets the European version, and other versions will
+be supported later.
+
+## How to install
+See [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md) for instructions on how to install the project.
