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!

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.
I guess that GPU doesn’t matter too much? Aren’t emulators heavily CPU bound?
In the paid version of yuzu*
there’s no need to pay for it.
yep easy to pirate the early access version
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.
ok
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.

“silky smooth”
you mean with constant shader compilation stutter?
There is no shader compilation stutter, unless you using Ryujinx.
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
While i agree with your pooint about the specs, what is the issue with Yuzu ? I’m “out of the loop” on that.
it’s not a scam if it works, you just need to find the free paid version 😉
There no paid version…
News flash, there is yuzu-emu .org/help/early-access/
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.
nice, looks like i found another idiot. Off you go to the trash kid, don;t need ur sht.
another brat that thinks they know everything.
affirmative
Your lack of arguments and petty insults are dully noted, everyone is aware who is the kid here.
Off you go kiddo. Things are gonna be much clearer in your late 30s.
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.
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
There is no “paid version” early access source code is literally available for free if you’re competent enough to compile it yourself.
Yuzu is not “money hungry”. Emulator is free. You are just ignorant to the emulation scene.
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.
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.
wait, I didn`t know that. That is a huge improvement. I also checked the latest ev report and yuzu apparently made extremely huge improvements.
https://yuzu-emu.org/entry/yuzu-progress-report-may-2023/
maybe its time to retest smtv. These emu devs are doing gods work man.
did you entirely move to yuzu? does everything work better there currently?
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.
I don’t know what you talking about mate, BotW runs way better on Yuzu than Cemu nowadays.
Here’s an interesting tidbit regarding Yuzu’s performance with TOTK from their official blog:
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.
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.
