Could you build this?
No Porting a GameCube game (Wind Waker) natively to iOS requires extensive decompilation, assembly reverse-engineering, and rewriting low-level Nintendo GameCube hardware systems in Metal/Swift.
What it would actually take: Based on decompilation projects (like Zelda 64 / GameCube decomp), this requires a completely decompiled C/C++ codebase of Wind Waker, reimplementing the GameCube Flipper GPU/GX graphics pipeline in Apple Metal, rewriting PPC audio and input drivers for iOS touch/game controllers, and managing non-JIT memory constraints on iOS.
