The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was released in 1998 on the N64. It is often referred to as OoT, or sometimes OoT64 to differentiate it from the 3DS port OoT3D.
The decompilation project is hosted at https://github.com/zeldaret/oot/. Development is public, anyone may join the Discord server where discussions happen, and open PRs.

Many versions of OoT exist, 19 as of current knowledge. The relationships between them can be found at https://hackmd.io/@EllipticEllipsis/HkbEwF2OK.
The first version to be decompiled was the PAL Master Quest Debug rom.
History
The decompilation project was started by camthesaxman, an ancient repository from 2018 can be found here https://github.com/camthesaxman/zelda_ocarina_mq_debug/. At some point it was picked up by other people who continued development privately. Early 2020, development went public, as shown by the earliest meaningful commit on the public repo.
The decompilation of the PAL MQ Debug version was complete, in the sense that all bytes of code that could be were successfully decompiled to C source code, after merging PR #1037 in December 2021.
As of April 2023, work on other versions is planned to happen but hasn't started or been organized. There is ongoing work on documentation, of code and assets.

z_player documentation
z_player refers to the code for Link (the playable character in OoT). It is very complicated and this documentation external to decomp can help understand it:
