Project Hyrule was conceived by MK Omega shortly after the North American release of. Users would submit codes generated by Tom Nook in their game, all addressed to the player "Link" from the town "Hyrule". Any player with that player and town name could then use the codes from the website. Members of the Project Hyrule forum eventually reverse-engineered 's password generation algorithm, allowing for the generation of universal codes that could be used by any player, regardless of player name or town name.

In February 2005, after a dispute between the Project Hyrule community and the site's host, Genji, the site was taken offline and its original domain name (http://www.projecthyrule.com) was relinquised. The site was later brought back online by MK Omega under a new domain name (http://www.project-hyrule.com).

Following the release of, Project Hyrule switched to being purely a forum and started a new project of having always-online towns that could be visited at any time. Over the next few years, the forums became inactive and the site went offline sometime between 2011 and 2012.

In May 2013, shortly before the release of, Project Hyrule was brought back online for a brief period of time under its original domain name (http://www.projecthyrule.com) before being shut down again.
