Well, you gotta love the community of CEMU, the best emulator for WiiU. In the past we’ve seen some tweaks that enabled 21:9 monitor support for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and now Xalphenos is working on a modification that will remove the 30fps cap and will allow players to enjoy this new Zelda game with 60fps.
Now as Xalphenos stated, this mod will not make the game run better. This mod will not increase performance and those that cannot run the game with a stable framerate will not see any additional performance improvements.
Ironically, those wishing for a true 60fps will have to rely on this mod and the WiiU emulator as both WiiU and Switch run the game at 30fps.
Right now, Xalphenos suggests using this mod in shrines as the outdoor environments are more demanding.
Do note that this mod requires a system that it could already – without the hack – go to 60FPS in some areas. In other words, you really need a powerful system in order to play it. Things will obviously get better with newer versions of both CEMU and this mod, however – and at this point – you should consider this mod as a proof-of-concept.
Those interested can download this 60fps mod from here. This mod is compatible with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild v1.3.0 or v1.3.1 and requires the latest Cemuhook. It also requires a Cemu state that it could already do 60FPS in an area before.
Have fun!

I called this happening months ago! so damn excited for this news
And you’ll need the new 8700K(Overclocked) in order to maintain that framerate..
Yes, that’s why it running in that fps on i5-7600k as is written in video description that you obviusly doesn’t even bother to check.
Thanks for the heads-up on this latest excellent development with Cemu. Forgive my lack of knowledge about Cemu but does it take advantage of G-Sync or FreeSync? Such a thing would obviously be appreciated for targeted 60fps games like this which may see frequent dips below said target on many people’s PCs.
“both WiiU and Switch run the game at 30fps”
PC does what Nintendon’t!
Good question. I’d like to benefit from my gsync monitor while playing this game, it adds such smoothness.
“Runs at 30 fps” is a very generous description. It’s well below that quite often, even stuttering for over a full second in heavy combat.
Indeed. Even following patching neither the Switch or much less the Wii U manages to maintain a locked 30fps at all times.
That is not game but card+monitor dependant, so FreeSync and G-Sync will work just like everywhere else.
Excellent. Thanks for the clarification.
This is the kind of game I’d give a few pumps to.
Man immma be able to play that beautiful thangg soon.
Good work.
And just think, some r*tards payed $360+ to play this at launch at 900p30 with frequent frame rate drops and stutters. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c97e4bdb88e2f37533ffefcc9aef870981dc0ad25c04ce2be9fefc6dc29f6791.jpg
It is also completely portable. My PC is not.
What is a laptop.
I still wouldn’t call a laptop “portable” at least not for gaming’s definition. Sure i can take a laptop with me wherever i go, but i wouldn’t say i can comfortably pull it out wherever i am and game on it quickly.
Also, gaming laptops are almost always overpriced and never worth the money. They also end up being huge most of the time to fit in the powerful components, which undercuts the point of the portability.
Also the Switch will have the entire Switch library, and the laptop will only emulate the Wii U version of BoTW, so f*** it.
According to the Digital Foundry article published on 14th March it’s even worse than that! Switch uses dynamic resolution scaling whereby,
– in docked mode the native resolution at times drops from the targeted 900p down to 1440×810
– in portable mode the native resolution at times drops from the targeted 720p down to 1152×648
They still got a better experience than the current version of CEMU. I tried it and it’s not really playable even if everyone insists it is. It’s impressive from an emulator point of view but not something I would force myself to play. Maybe in another 6-12 months it will be. I don’t like nintendo games, but honestly, If I wanted to play the game, I would just buy the console instead of waiting 2 years just to play it on PC. But that’s just me. I’m the kind of guy that doesn’t like watching youtube videos while everyone else is having fun playing it.
thank god i borrowed it from a friend and had some guy copy the game on the console for $25.
Nice, im still half way through my second playthrough so this is good news, ill be glad to get rid of the 30fps lock..
Hmm, I thought the issue with the 60fps was due to animation/physics were tied to the framerate. Runs at a solid 30fps for me at 4k which is damn nice. I just need to get my WiiU save transferred over.
Now make a mod to play this with K+M then i will be happy.
Running it with around 12-15 fps ;/ I guess my CPU is a bit old now.. i5 2500 ;/
30fps with minor dips to 25 on an i7 3700. Do you hav CEMU Hook?
Nop i dont? Im not very good with that sort of thing. I was mostly testing it out
cemu hookk man. download it. extract and copy the content on cemu dir
I will do it now 🙂 Thanks for ur tip
Search reddit NORO repack. Already config’d. I really want to play this on PC, but only of I can get my save from my wiiu as I put a ton of time into the game.
Ill check it out now! Thanks for the tip
Thanks 🙂 i just tried it ^^
And…? results please
Guess its finally time for me to try BOTW
And you’ll need the new 8700K(Overclocked) in order to maintain that framerate..
