Could you build this?

No A native Ocarina of Time port built from a user's game dump requires game decompilation and reverse-engineering expertise that vibe coding cannot provide.

What it would actually take: A real version needs a decompilation or recompilation of the N64 game code, a native rendering backend translated to Apple Metal, and an input and audio layer adapted for the target platform. It also requires reverse engineering of the game's assets and format conversion from the user's own dump. This is specialist work by reverse engineers and graphics and emulation developers.
