Now I am left without any known shortcuts to get into the game, and I'm just seeing if anyone knows how to make a new working shortcut or the file location to enter the game before I have to just reinstall the game. I am likely missing a file as well (likely the ootp13.exe), so if anyone knows where it goes/located, that may help as well. Thanks!

Wow, thanks, my stupidity. Didn't think it was going to be something that was happening to a lot of people (especially all today), so didn't take the time to check is someone else posted about it. Thread only 2 spaces down...*Facepalm*
