The video explores the feasibility and performance of playing "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" on a PC using various emulators, focusing on the Ryujinx, Yuzu, and Cemu emulators. The presenter first evaluates Ryujinx, noting its potential to run the game in 4K but struggling with maintaining 60fps on a mid-range CPU, which can lead to slow gameplay. Yuzu provides slightly better performance, running smoothly at 900p with the 60fps mod, but also experiences some visual glitches and doesn’t fully utilize GPU capabilities at 4K. Ultimately, the presenter recommends the Wii U emulator Cemu, which supports a wide range of mods, graphical enhancements, and can maintain 60fps at 4K resolution on an i5-9600K CPU with an RTX 2060 Super GPU. Cemu's versatility with performance improvements and customization options makes it the best choice for playing "Breath of the Wild" on PC. The video concludes with an emphasis on Cemu's superior experience, especially for users with lower-end PCs, while Switch emulators remain viable alternatives.

In this part of the video, the creator discusses the possibilities of playing “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild” on PC using emulators, highlighting three different ones to compare their performance. Initially, they review the Ryujinx emulator, noting its capacity to run the game in native 4K resolution without visual glitches, though it struggles with maintaining 60fps on an i5-9600K CPU, causing the game to play in slow motion if the framerate mod is used and doesn’t achieve 60fps. The creator emphasizes that Ryujinx is still a viable option with a good array of mods available, but mainly runs at 30fps on less powerful CPUs. They then move on to examine the Yuzu emulator, which also supports mods and resolution scaling. Yuzu generally performs slightly better than Ryujinx and can smoothly run the game with the 60fps mod at 900p. Both emulators deliver similar performance in 4K on the creator’s PC, suggesting CPU limitations.

In this part of the video, the presenter discusses the performance of different emulators for running “Zelda Breath of the Wild” on a PC equipped with an RTX 2060 Super GPU. They observe that neither Yuzu nor Ryujinx fully utilize the GPU capabilities at 4K, with Yuzu experiencing minor visual glitches and not sustaining 60fps, making Ryujinx the preferred option between the two. However, the presenter highly recommends using the Wii U emulator, Cemu, which not only supports mods and graphical enhancements but also achieves a better performance, reaching 60fps at 4K with an i5-9600K and RTX 2060 Super setup. Cemu’s FPS++ mod allows for arbitrary frame rates without slow motion, and the game runs smoothly even in busy areas, especially with a variable refresh rate monitor. Adjusting the resolution to 1440p ensures a consistent 60fps if needed.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the advantages of using Cemu for playing Breath of the Wild on low-end PCs over Switch emulators. They highlight the availability of many mods on Cemu, allowing for extensive customization without sacrificing graphical quality. The only differences between the Wii U and Switch versions are the rendering resolution and texture filtering, both adjustable on Cemu. The speaker concludes that Cemu provides the best experience for the game on PC with superior performance and enhancements. They briefly note that while Switch emulators like Ryujinx are viable, Cemu remains the top choice before thanking viewers and encouraging them to like and subscribe.
