Earlier this week, we informed you about The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom running on PC via the Ryujinx Nintendo Switch Emulator. And today, we are happy to report that PC gamers can already play this upcoming Zelda game in 4K/60fps with both Yuzu and Ryujinx.
From what we could see, both Yuzu and Ryujinx have some visual/graphics artifacts with this game. Moreover, you’ll need a really high-end PC system in order to get close to 60fps.
Regarding performance, both Yuzu and Ryujinx can run the game smoothly during its prologue scene. However, when the game opens up, performance goes downhill on mid-range PC hardware. Things will obviously get better as the developers of Yuzu and Ryujinx are currently working on optimization tweaks and performance improvements. Let’s also not forget that Tears of the Kingdom is not out yet (well… at least officially).
Unfortunately, Nintendo has been taking down all the 60fps emulated videos for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. As such, I can’t find anything to share with you right now. You can take a look at the following video, however, this video is based on an older version of Ryujinx.
As always, we won’t allow any direct links to the game’s ROM. So yeah, don’t bother asking for a link.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

The game is using FSR 1.0 (probably not FSR2), at 77% rez scale, on the Switch.
They are using AMD technology rather than Nvidia technology
So thats why it looks like dogsh1t? Makes sense
Too bad the graphic is sh*t….
Guess what! I’m playing it right now with physics fix and locked 30fps mod with 1.1.0 patched game on 2060 and it’s fully playable. The only issue is the white patch glitch on rocks and borders on interact prompts. It will be fixed in the release day ryujinx update.
Keep fighting Nintendo and everyone will play your games and nobody will buy.
Performance depends more on CPU than GPU.
Locked 30fps is not playable. I guess people have different standards.
For someone who’ve played games on a 64mb via-s3g-igp since early 2000s, locked 30fps is pretty playable and enjoyable too.
Hmm I dunno man I don’t feel it, been playing since 97, first game was mario kart on nintendo 64. Holy sht I just realised I started with a nintendo, then moved on to cube and ps.
Then you’ve played games at 30 fps 60 didn’t become standard until Ps4 and Xbox one days even then those systems didn’t have it on every game pc yeah but if you been playing since then you know you played games at 30fps and it was fine…. Now if you’re saying you can’t go back to 30 I’d agree
yeah, it’s just like the saying, once you go black u never go back.
The 2d consoles all ran at 60 (or 50 for PAL) frames per second. It did take a while before 3d became 60fps and the Switch still has locked 30 fps. BOTW even dips below 30 on accasion.
NES, Master System, Mega Drive, and SNES all had slowdown on some of their 2D games. True 3D games are massively more complex then what those simple machine could handle.
People can put their money where they want it. They don’t have to give their money to Nintendo if they don’t want to tolerate 30fps and lower games.l, but they do.
Zelda ocarina of time and mario 64 on the original n64 was 20fps
Zelda ocarina of time and mario 64 on the original n64 was 20fps
the only consoles i skipped was the ps3 and xbox one.
You realize PS3 games were standard at 30 FPS. Standard 60 FPS is fairly recent. Except SNES games ran at 60 FPS
Playstation 3 ran games below 30FPS, so was not even a standard for it.
Xbox 360 that managed to hold 30FPS in most games.
60fps in this game just doubles the speed. Until someone tries to fix it like they did in BotW, that’s the only way to play it right.
exactly
The games engine is built for 30fps. Changing it to 60 messes with all kinds of stuff. It really isn’t recommended to play physics based games like this at 60fps.
“It really isn’t recommended to play physics based games like this at 60fps.”What on earth are you talking about? That comment makes ZERO sense.
Do your research. Plenty of posts and such about how increasing the frame rate in a game built to be played at 30 with complicated physics messes with all kinds of stuff.
If nobody buys there won’t be a 3rd Zelda either!
This IS the third Zelda…
‘Nobody will buy’
I’ll take a wager that it’ll be a top selling game this year.
Over here sounding like a geeky villain. Sit down before you get the worst wedgie of your life lol.
It runs really good even on my Pc. (i5 9400, RX 6600 XT and 16GB Ram). The only problem would be the outrageous amount of spots where the game will crash and they are very vital spots for many quests and upgrades.
Don’t worry. Ryujinx team have confirmed they’ll be working on the issues once game is released worldwide. Because obvious reasons know. Still you can find various forked builds with fixed graphics and performance. But do that at your own risk as they’re not official ryujinx fixes.
Is it just me or this game is fugly as hell?
Previous game was also pretty meh…
I have seen single-developer indie games on Steam which looked way better than that.
No idea why they overhype these games so much.
Nintendo fanboys are so blind…
same here , I’m very disappointed lots of stuff from TOTK gameplay, graphic , world and gameplay feels like I’m watching breath of the wild I mean this game is like actual BOTW 2 where people used to call Twilight Princess Ocarina of time 2 where twilight princess was huge upgrade from gameplay, graphic also dungeon I couldn’t find underwater exploration which turn out cave, opening scene was for 5 min then game start just like how it was started in BOTW I’m very disappointed from this sequel but final boss is huge improvement from BOTW
switch is weak
You can clearly see it’s pcs that are weak
are you f*king dumb, or just a troll? the switch is weak. that’s why this game looks, and runs like a*s on the actual switch.
Weren’t you complaining a few weeks ago that games are too much about graphics and not enough about gameplay.
ah good catch!
ryujinx and yuzu need some shader mods for tears of the kingdom. the colors look to washed out, and faded.
Agreed. I compared it last night to BOTW. It’s like night and day.
Hell yeah, I also feel the same, but I played BoTW a lot in Cemu with community patcher active that made it more beautiful even than ToTK, thats Im sure have a role on my perception
Its a switch game, what where you expecting?
you’re the blind one here if you can’t tell how good it looks. it’s a sh**ty hardware and yet it looks better than most games on PS4 and dare I say ps5 at some point. they optimized everything so that you almost never see a single pixelated texture even in tight close up by, I assume, doing mostly procedural texturing that looks amazing. some sunsets and light effects are bluffing and reminded me of horizon zero dawn, and then you realize it’s not a PS4 you’re looking at.
I feel sad for you to hate on something just for the sake of it.
I’m the last nintendo fanboy, but this game is truly gorgeous despite running on an old outdated crappy hardware (even when played on a 88″ 8k tv btw)
Nintendo isn’t taking down emulation vids, they’re taking down piracy vids. You said you won’t provide links yet in the beginning you said you’d provide examples if they existed. Despite that meaning you DO condone piracy, at least be consistent please
Piracy is based. Stfu
The bootlickers mob are going to chase you down!
That is somewhat true. But that is due to the outdated console limitations of nintendo. They just don’t want to update their sht because they are focused on brainwashing kids.
The game has huge potential and great story, it hits hard for us old gamers that have played all of them on release.
Think of it like Naughty dog stories but take away the woke western elements. It’s well scripted and it appeals to our inner kid.
Gameplay literally inspired a new iteration of open world games but you’re too stuck on graphics to appreciate it. Disappointing really.
fkn trash looking game.everyone goes for that Fortnite look these days. Except this looks like a PS2 game!
Ps2 games were good know.
It was better than gaming nowadays
That era is trully Golden gaming era (that era include Xbox, GameCube and PC games outside of PS2 itself, hell even GBA and DS games are good), where game is a game no gimmick like walking simulator or diversity BS. All is about gameplay and games live and die base on it
Diversity BS? So you admit you only liked the games when everyone was a straight white male? The racism and sexism mask came off so quick lmao.
because diversity have no impact for me in games, its not movie that story heavy, but its a game that enjoyed and judged almost solely by its gameplay. The diversity that I meant is in the developers side of things, somehow the need to fill quota superseed the need of good developer / programmer. Most blue haired one are the one which is working in HR,PR,Finance, Writers, and some in artist department. They will complained the most when good straight male probably white programmer /coder unintentionally joked at them that make their ‘feelings’ hurt and make that good programmer/coder being fired by HR which is the same kind of people as the one complained. And because of that, high turn around happened in their company due to abundance of complaints just because their ‘feelings’ hurt by other that in the end hurt the quality of the games they produce.What I mean as ‘good’ is good at their jobs, they dont necessarily good in social interaction because let admit, most programmer are awkward people that love more in front of their computer screen than in front of their phone scrolling their social media feeds. They will make mistake in social interaction unintentionally, but probably that blue haired one that being offended want to show whose the boss and demand him to be fired immediately.
Well I have empathy, like most people, so caring about hurting someone’s feelings in normal. I’m sorry you didn’t grow up with love and compassion in your household.
What do you know about me is awesome, random people in the internet… But thanks for caring and sharing …
lmao you have empathy your full of sh*t.
it is diversity bs though. you sound like a whiny a*s sjw that pretends to give a sh*t about minorities; but, you really just want people to pay attention to you.
You do realize that BoTW came out before Fortnite…right?
Just because it doesn’t look hyper realistic doesn’t mean it’s trash. You’ll miss out on a ton of great games if graphics are the only thing that matters to you.
Yes and no? Fortnite was demoed several years before BotW was out.
BotW came out before Fortnite. Doesn’t matter about demos because they were both in development at the same time. They didn’t copy anything from each other.
Oh no this teenage boy who just learned about how girls pee doesn’t like the zelda game!?! Boohoo!
It has nothing to do with Fortnite. If you make a game low-poly for kids, this is the preferred artstyle.
Clickbait at it’s finest.
Clickbait? You can’t read the first paragraph in the preview and determine that this is running on an emulator (and what rock has anyone been living under to presume it was an official PC port when it hasn’t even released yet on the switch).
You people just really like to rag on John don’t you?
Sorry but is click-n-bait, none of the emulators can run the game at 4K and 60 stable FPS regardless of hardware.
Not to mention the issues it causes due to game engine being tied to FPS, and tailored for 30FPS.
Even the video on the article shows the game running below 30FPS.
clickbait = headline that grabs attention for clicks regardless of being wholly inaccurate. Even the first paragraph isn’t entirely accurate. Nobody said it’s a PC port. None of the emulators can run it 4K/60FPS. So yes, clickbait.
Are switch games coded with game speed tied to gramerate? I noticed music did not slowdown even if I was playing the game at 15 fps..
Music is not usually synced to frame rate, physics effects are, though most of modern games dont need fixed framerates anymore. They can handle it
Engine limitation. Japanese devs being code monkeys as usual.
POOP (4K/60FPS)
Ha, not true, John not doing his homework as always.
I’ve tried it on ryujinx with both 30 fps and 60 fps patches v3 and it’s unplayable on the 60 fps patch. That’s because the switch is natively 30fps. And by unplayable I mean u get the slo-mo effect while running.
because ,Devs won’t optimize this game until the game released on may 12th
Of course, I never said it won’t be playable ever. Just that this article is misleading.
As they should? It’s not meant to be released yet
Runs fine for me with 13600K @ 5.4 – 5.7 GHz. Needs some CPU grunt, but it’s 45-60 at all times, occasional shader compilation stutters aside.
Edit: I should add “in handheld mode”
are u playing using the 30fps or 60 fps patch?
60fps patch for v1.1. Definitely need more power as it still slows down to 45 fps for a couple of seconds here and there. I don’t think I’ll be getting 7 GHz out of my CPU any time soon. Shrines are 60 fps locked. Running at 4K resolution still only uses 80% of my 3080. Still a massive improvement given that I played BoTW at 30fps on cemu before the variable framerate patches.
I see. I’m actually replaying the BOTW in 55fps on a 3080Ti till they fix the issues in TOTK. You should give it a try, its awesome.
I did fire up BotW a few months ago to see what it was like and I was getting over 100 fps, which was lovely. However, I only had about 5 shrines to finish, and it had been 6 years since I had last played the game (and sunk 125 hours into it). I couldn’t face “learning it” all again, nor facing the DLC, which I read was more about combat challenges (not the strongest part of the gameplay for me). I reasoned at least TotK would be designed to ease players back into the gameplay and new mechanics, which it does.

Initially i remember borrowing a friends wii u just so i could play it and sunk so many hours in it that i had completed everything 100%, even the easter eggs. The DLCs and this 4k 60fps thing is new to me, i waited all these years for a stable perfected mods driven instance of BOTW and now it’s here along with the TOTK lol.
This game was worth paying for. You’re too broke for a game but can afford a decent PC build?
i will pirate this solely because i want to play it on pc
Why not play it on PC and still buy it, so Nintendo can keep making the games you like? That’s the moral thing to do unless you need that money to feed a starving child.
because i dont own a switch to play it on
Some people don’t just pirate because they’re poor. They pirate because they don’t want to pay $300 + $60 for something they won’t touch again. It’s a waste of money.
Besides you still need hardware to run games. If there had been a way to get free hardware you bet people would have used it by now (same as pirating).
Exactly.
At one point I was thinking about getting the OLED model with ToTK bundled in but it would’ve been a large buy for just one game. Specially in hardware that’s not so impressive.
@Pobody: I bought the game days ago, the same way that I also bought BoTW for Wii U, and only ever played it on Cemu. I am happy to pay Nintendo for the games I play, and at full price. I am not, however, interested in playing games at 30 fps at 900p or whatever the Switch runs this at natively.
Of course it’s unplayable y’all are pirating something not even released yet, sad folk you PC only gamers
I never said i’m an only pc gamer. Where did you crawl from and why are you here?
Did you know jumping to conclusions is not ur strongest suit? You’re really bad at it kusogaki. lol
I never said i’m an only pc gamer. You’re just assuming stpid sht because you’re dmb. Reactivating this account after 2 yrs just to troll/spam ppl is a low blow even for. If you’ve got nothing constructive to say why say it at all?
“y’all are pirating” w’all aren’t pirating anything you stpid dmb cnt, it’s readily available, leaked plug n play. At least think before you speak.
How the f*k is downloading the readily leaked plug n play game not pirating?
I’ll try to explain it to you in Layman’s terms; You’re a pirate and you just made the jack of the century, the Gunsway a.k.a Ganj-i-Sawai. Aboard the ship there were valuables worth millions and you decided to share those with your community free of charge. Does that make the community pirates? Did they go thru with the heist?
Let me make it even easier for you to understand “the f*k”, when Robin Hood stole from the rich and gave to the poor, were the poor blamed or called pirates for accepting the goods?
If you have a comeback after this, then just show urself out cause I just won’t..but since you’re a foureyedgeek I’m sure you’ll get the references.
Oh wow, you didn’t know that words can have more than one meaning. You should ask your kindergarten teacher to explain that to you.
Yeah I just wasted my time, great, you’re definitely stpid. At least we assessed that.
You keep doing it too, adding nothing of worth.
Yeah I just wasted my time, great, you’re definitely stpid. At least we assessed that.
are they censoring the word stupid now? was wondering about why you intentionally left the u out of it.
One can’t be too careful, tired of seeing “Hold on, this is waiting to be approved by DSOGaming.”
This site is a mess. But what can you expect from a Greek that hates his own ppl. Yeah I’m talking about papadopoulos.
Why would I use your site if your titles are outright lies?
This one is going to be the most overrated game of the year, it looks like an botw dlc
From what I have played it is it’s own game. They changed everything you do just about next to how things were done in botw.
Most definitely.
It was originally going to be a botw dlc, but it got to big and they had more ideas for totk, so they decided to make it its own game.
So it’s a BIG dlc
An expansion.
This seems like a awful comment. Using the same engine and assets doesn’t make it just a DLC. From the look of it the world is different, gameplay mechanics have been enhanced, new storyline, and plenty of new in game assets. Lots of hours of work have obviously gone into this
We’ve had a plethora of sh*t this year in the AAA space, I’m assuming Nintendo will put their usual polish to this one. I’m not even a fan of BotW or looking forward to this particularly, I am tired of buffoons though.
Nintendo should stop releasing 10 year old hardware instead of spending all this money fighting emulation.
My guess is when the switch finally stops printing money at their expected rate, they’ll release a new underpowered device that’ll print money. With the release of this game, it’ll probably be another year at least before they tease new hardware.
They’ll continues to do until 2027 , don’t expect next generation console anytime soon unless they put tight security just like ps Vita
And neckbeards from social media will go crazy, thinking they’ll bring back the same joy they had as kids. Pathetic fvcking clown world.
I hope the second rate trash people stealing this game are also going to buy it to redeem themselves for stealing from this amazing series.
Exactly.
WA WA WA!

LMAO
Lol ?? ????????????
Still trash my dude. Nk matter how pretty your collage.
So u mean the people that leaked it and uploaded it.
I think you have a wide range of interpreting the word “theft“.
To buy a game one must also own that shtty low-res low-end console that they never upgrade properly to the industry standards because they’re too preoccupied amounting all that cash from the kids they brainwashed into brainwashing their parents into buying them.
When you put this into perspective the word theft and nintendo sure acquire a different meaning innit?
Dmb as$ mothfker trying to generalize and insult ppl when he’s a victim of the conglomerates. pathetic
I doubt you’ll ever understand my comment.
100% this
You can interpret it however you want they’re both theft and criminal – to leak and to pirate it.
Want proof? Go sell the Zelda leak burned on dvds publicly, see how long it takes for you to be arrested and charged.
Apparently you and Dan are holding hands.
I rest my case.
I’d it’s not bought or gifted it’s theft. What kind of r*ard statement is that?
the same kind of ratard that bumps a 7mo old post. Idiot
My favorite though is I asked you what kind of retarded statement that is and you replied by doing exactly what I did. Hilarious. Pot meet kettle you stupid mfer.
Keep pretending you’re a fkn superhero for stealing a game, we both know the only true reason you don’t buy and support these producers is because you’re a) a thief and b) too fkn poor.
Hold a job, contribute to society, and get the fk off your pedestal.. you are not smart pal.
its because im not an idiot. throw ur money away on garbage kid, you;re already white trash.
So I ask you what kind and you reply by doing exactly that. Hahahahahahahaha…. your seething hypocrisy. Get off your pedestal. Thief.
As I said 7mo ago, “I doubt you’ll ever understand my comment.” You’re just frustrated your gf dumped ur as$ and ur looking for someone to spar with. Kid kindly fk off.
The same kind of r**ard that replies too it. Die in a fire goof.
Stealing from corporations is always ethically and morally correct. Cope.
True. Unless they abide the law and actually listen and appeal to the customer’s needs but who are we kidding ha-ha-ha.
And that’s how you lose the things you want in the first place. If everybody behaved like the petulant child you are, we wouldn’t have zelda to begin with.
Imagine buying a trash game that runs at 480p 20fps
So poor you can buy an expensive PC. You are not poor. You are a thief.
no u
Stealing from corporations is based
Hopefully Nintendo sues them big time. What is this? A lawless PC gaming landscape where anything goes? This can have a huge impact on the game sales since the game is now capable of running unofficially on PC.
No lol. Lawlessness by stealing from multi billion dollar corporations is always ethically and morally correct. Why the hell should anyone care about a corporations sales when pirating is only a drop in the ocean that is Nintendo profit? Literally doesn’t affect them.
Might be arguably ethically and morally right, although that probably won’t hold up to much scrutiny. Regardless it is very much not legal and grounds for some juicy fines and jail time.
Same as locking hapless people on crappy console with 30 fps.
they should release a pc port than if they want pc players to buy their game, and not just steal it. f*k that piece of sh*t weak a$s console.
Piece of cr4p that utilizes a name to sell and neckbeard morons be like: “nInTeNdO kNoWs HoW tO mAkE gAmEs”
Miss me with this shlt.
You seem pretty angry to be missing on a few genre defining titles that the Switch has had. As well as a huge library of amazing games to play on the move.
But cry harder it’s funny
I’m not into kids games, neckbeard.
Glitches? No thanks. No performance and visual effects will make me play games with visual and/or audio or other glitches. I’ve tried several Switch games and none was satisfactory.
They made great effort but it’s still not there.

GTH !!!
Makes you wonder if any Nintendo machine will EVER offer an equivalent experience.
They’ve never competed with high end pc/ps/xbox equivalent and still make genre defining games whose gameplay amd art style stands the test of time better than any other AAA mainstream trash.
But all you idiots can’t think for a second to appreciate that.
Edit: also I’d love to see you play a pc/ps/xbox game on the move. The portability of the Switch is a blessing
Steam Deck is a thing. Alongside many windows handheld PCs.
They did with the GameCube
Just now waking from decades of slumber I see.
Genre defining games. LOL. Even Microsoft made better platformers (Moon) these couple of gens.
Switch does many things that PC still can’t do.
-offer great exclusives
-offer proper game curation
-offer an experience that doesn’t require tinkering with settings
-offer great language and localisation support
-offer a lightweight and portable experience
-do it at a very low price
I see many people trashing Nintendo, while desperately trying to get Zelda working on PC. There’s a lot of irony there.

Out of the top 20 best selling games in history, 11 are from Nintendo.
Performance increases again when you leave the opening islands.
Uhhhh, Bullshit. Fast PC, RTX3080 o/c, and this dogshit is hitching all over the place and it’s not even in 4k. It’s completely unplayable.
