The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild feature

New Yuzu EA version improves performance by 50% in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey and more


The team behind the amazing Nintendo Switch emulator, Yuzu, has released a new Early Access version of it. According to the release notes, build 3527 can improve performance by 50% in games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey and Xenoblade 3.

Additionally, this latest version of the Nintendo Switch emulator reduces RDTC overhead by 50%. This can result in up to 5% better performance in CPU-bottlenecked games.

It’s also worth noting that Yuzu can now run faster the 4-player mode of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Not only that, but the emulator fixes a timer issue with Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Since Yuzu can now run faster Breath of the Wild, we might get an amazing performance in Tears of the Kingdom. Although it hasn’t been confirmed, it’s assumed that TOTK uses the same engine with BOTW. If that’s the case, Yuzu will be able to run this new Zelda game on launch day.

There is currently no ETA on when this latest build will leave Early Access. Naturally, we’ll be sure to keep you posted. Until then, enjoy the following videos!
