The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom feature

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom finally runs silky smooth on PC

Last week, we shared a video showcasing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom running in 4K/60fps on an NVIDIA RTX 4090. However, the biggest issue back then was the cut-scenes which did not run properly at 60fps.

Thanks to the game’s modding community, though, this has been fixed. As such, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is finally smooth on PC during both gameplay and cut-scenes.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom came out on May 12th and was playable on these Nintendo Switch emulators on launch day. No no no. In fact, this new Zelda game was playable even before that.

So, after a month, the game now looks and performs incredibly well on PC. Furthermore, from what we’ve seen, the game is fully playable on Yuzu. This basically means that you can play it from beginning to end. I’ve also seen some 8K videos from some smaller channels, though I’m a bit suspicious about them. Still, it’s pretty amazing what the teams behind Yuzu and Ryujinx have managed to achieve.

Speaking of this new Zelda game, I also suggest downloading this first-person mod for it. Created by ‘trevix’, this mod allows you to play Tears of the Kingdom with a first-person perspective.

Enjoy!

  1. Yeah runs smoothly my @.s.s. on a popsicle. That’s a 4090 and a 13900. Even on a 3080Ti it dips a lot of times under 50fps.

        1. The fact you believe you pirating anything is hilarious, the early access source is available for everyone to compile on GitHub.

          Patreon only makes it easier to access, since they provide the binaries.

          1. don;t mind him jack, they dropped him on the head when he was a kid. I keep seeing his M.O. quite often here. This site attracts the lot of them. its like a honeypot.

    its running on a 4090 with a processor that has 24 cores , WHAT THE HELL DO YOU EXPECT .. also stop promoting this money hungry scam emulator Yuzu

    1. While i agree with your pooint about the specs, what is the issue with Yuzu ? I’m “out of the loop” on that.

          1. News flash, early access is available to everyone on GitHub to compile.

            Which is why people are allowed to redistribute the binaries.

            Congratulations on embarrassing yourself.

          2. nice, looks like i found another idiot. Off you go to the trash kid, don;t need ur sht.

          3. Your lack of arguments and petty insults are dully noted, everyone is aware who is the kid here.

          4. Karen, imagine calling someone an idiot when you’re literally the idiot spreading misinformation. You’ve already proven that no one should listen to anything you have to say Karen. I can tell you are a liberal Karen, you’re ignorant to facts. Yuzu Early Access is 100% free for people competent enough to compile it, & you are not competent Karen. People are not paying for early access, they’re literally just supporting the developers Karen.

          5. listen you fkin dim.w!t idiot, he said there was a paid version i just told him he can find it for free. imagine calling me an idiot and a karen and following me everywhere replying to my comments. i’m not a murican like ur dum.b@$$. go spread that liberal political garbage somewhere else. frustrated m*fo

      1. There is no “paid version” early access source code is literally available for free if you’re competent enough to compile it yourself.

    2. Yuzu is not “money hungry”. Emulator is free. You are just ignorant to the emulation scene.

  3. What about shader caching stutters? Yuzu and Ryujinx still need half a decade to reach the same state like Dolphin or Cemu. Currently playing BotW with CEMU it is absolutely jaw dropping awesome. I tried SMTV with Yuzu and Ryujinx half a year ago and still sucked a*s.

    1. partially true, yuzu has eliminated those stutters while ryujinx had not a 3 weeks ago. That’s what made me switch to yuzu, and the +5-10fps.

        1. Yeap, migrated there 5-8days in since zeldas unofficial release. Reddit is your friend bruv, if you don’t pay attention to all the snowflakes there.

  4. Here’s an interesting tidbit regarding Yuzu’s performance with TOTK from their official blog:

    This game is very demanding on hardware. What we list in yuzu’s recommended hardware requirements is the minimum needed to sustain 30 FPS in most areas. A 6-core desktop Zen 2/11th gen Core, 16GB of RAM, and a GPU with at least 6GB of VRAM are the baseline for now.

    The latest CPUs (Zen 4/13th gen Core, always speaking of desktop products) provide massive improvements in IPC, RAM bandwidth, and cache sizes. Where a Ryzen 7 5800X3D barely manages 55 FPS, a Ryzen 5 7600 reaches 90 FPS.

  5. No offense but you been saying we can run TotK with silky smooth 60FPS on PC since the game was released.

    Then you keep going back and forward with this articles, I expect another article next month saying again “We can now play TotK at 60FPS” again.

    I suggest you stop with this articles, cause is clear you have a bias here.

    1. 100%! They’re beating a dead horse with these articles. Majority of gamers that were going to emulate this game have already done so & have no interest in these articles.
