Quick Tip to everyone! In the video where he's explaining how to setup your controller, and tells you to select the Pro Controller, DO NOT DO THIS!!! Set it to Wii U GamePad. Some Puzzles Shrines in BOTW require motion controls, and having this set to Pro Controller and not Wii U GamePad will disable the motion controls in the game entirely. Thank you ArdentVision for this tutorial, im already about 20 hours in in the past 3 days since watching your vid!
@@jenguskhan5537 if you want to disable the motion controls then just toggle that in the BOTW game settings. However if its turned off, you cant solve some of the shrines, so you miss out on good loot, and heart containers/stamina wheels
@@kakashisensei7387 Well if you dont have motion controls support then maybe could do it with your mouse + keyboard for those puzzles? If not then F in the chat
To anyone having trouble installing the update and DLC, I finally got it working by using CEMU 2.0, I didn't need to use the "install game, update or DLC" button which wouldn't work for me, I just put the game, DLC, and update folder inside the game path folder which is under Options>General Settings>Game paths>Add
@@ardentvision6900hello i have a 2k screen resolution so i wanted to know : if i put 4k resolution in graphics packs instead of 2k resolution.. will there be any difference? Thanks😊
Oh my god, I can't thank you enough, had no clue what I was doing and in the end my jaw dropped seeing this gorgeous game run this well. Seriously great video!
To people having issues with the game saying it needs an update, or the game not showing in the emulator/no + showing on the graphic packs section. You need to install the base game first by clicking the button under ‘load’ then DLC then the update file. DO NOT click ‘load’ before doing these steps. Load is only to get the game running once installed.
I really appreciate this clear explanation, I have dreamed of this day for so long. Finally got a nice PC recently, but I was intimidated about doing this, with all the talk of Nintendo cracking down on emulators, etc. Today I was easily able to get BoTW installed, modded and running at 4k/120fps. It's absolutely insane, I don't know how I'm going to concentrate on anything else for the next 6 months or so. Thank you!!!
Hey man, i just wanted to say a HUGE thank you! I tried to play BOTW for a couple days now but never got the clue out of it, you perfectly showed everything AND showed how to improve the performance, so... A HUUUUUUGE thank you man!
definitely one of the nest tutorials ive seen on youtube. it was very simple to follow and fro a short time too. i thought it would take me longer. thank you so much for this I really appreciate it, I've been wanting to emulate it on PC for a while but never had the courage because I thought and heard that its a very complicated process. have a great day man
this literally was the biggest success of my life bro. I've been trying to do this for a while and it was all Yuzu and I didn't want to mod my switch. this a game changer and a well earned sub
This was an absolutely amazing walkthrough! I've been hesitant in the past due to my lack of knowledge in the emulator world and every time I would google the process it seemed so convoluted. I fell in love with BOTW back when it released on the Switch and I've really been wanting to try it on PC with all its visual glory. Thanks to you I was able to achieve that today! no issues and no errors, followed your process step by step and it just works! The Link (lol...Link) You provided for Swashed_ in your description is now broken being that the video has been removed! I fortunately didn't need it, but worth a mention.... Thank you again!
i decided to play btow again after very long years and have better computer specs, before i following BSOD setup guides but he suddenly stop doing it and i saw your video guide very much helpful works like a charm. thanks and very worthy to subscribed!
Got to thank you for this useful tutorial video. At the end of last year I got BOTW running on my PC at 4K 60FPS after playing with the settings, but after not using CEMU for a couple of months I found that the performance had not been as smooth as before. But after watching your video I was able to get the game running beautifully at 4K 60FPS once again. I can now finish the journey that I never completed back in 2017 on the Wii U. Got TOTK on Switch but after seeing how beautiful BOTW looks on PC there is no way I can stomach the low-framerate & blurry mess that it's on the Switch.
I effin love you for this. Sold my switch after first finishing it, since it was the only game I wanted to play on that. Now I need to replay before the second. Thanks for being so thorough.
Great video mate! I only came for optimization and it was well worth it. I'm running at 4k at over 90 fps, this is the way the game was supposed to look.
You're seriously the best I can't stress this enough I adore this game and now it's leaving me speechless like I stared at that opening view of hyrule for at least 2 or 3 minutes AWESTRUCK
tysm not only did you help me get botw on my pc you helped me learn how to get games into cemu out of all the other videos this one is very straight to the point and simple
Bro, thank you for the video but pro-tip for the future: please don't reference other videos in the sense of leaving out entire chunks of critical installation info, and telling the viewers they can watch that other video for the information. Videos get taken down all the time, as is the case in this scenario with Swashed_'s. I had to research and watch 4 other videos because of this. PLEASE take note lol
For people wondering why the files for update/DLC arent showing when you go to select them, (I'm assuming this is new to newer versions of cemu) it now asks you to select the folder the file is in instead of the file itself.
I've no doubt that this is a wonderful tutorial. However, I did lose track of what was going on at about 15 minutes. But he is clear, easy to understand, and a really good tutorial guy!
Big thanks to you my guy! I have been a huge Zelda fan since my childhood and BOTW is just one of my favourite games ever. It's just a shame that the Nintendo Switch is such a letdown in hardware performance and it really doesn't make it up for the quality game BOTW is. My beefy PC however is a better ally for this stunning game and you made me actually have a much better experience. Thanks for this splendid tutorial, sire. We all owe you one, cheers! 🍻🍻 EDIT: for everyone wondering or having trouble: you said in your video when you don't have that game already installed you do it via the "load" button and then search for this "king"-file. This simply just opens the game and prompts you do install the update etc. The right way is to click "install game etc." and then choose the "meta"-file in the folder. this way it actually installs the game + update + dlc. I had to find this out by myself since the "load" function just opened the base game and didn't let it appear on the CEMU surface like you had. Just a small tip for everyone.
you definitely deserved my sub and like dude! a year or two ago i had this on an emulator but just deleted it yet i was always buggy. wanted to get back in and this tutorial helped just that. very smooth along with a very smooth tutorial! cheers dude!
When I try to load in CEMU, I get "You must perform a system update to play The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the wild. Returning to Wii U menu.", and if I close it with my pro controller then I just get a black screen
I always wanted to play it on my PC with better fidelity but never got a playable framerate. Thanks to your guide and Swashed's video I am now able to play at 60fps.
Can anyone recommend a more updated video to explain how to do this? Swash video is gone, and I’ve followed the steps in this one exactly but it doesn’t work. When I get to 10:34 and click the U King file, the cemu screen gives me a screen that says “You must perform a system update to play Legend of Zelda…” and you can’t even click the “close” button without exiting CEMU. Basically can’t get past this step.
whenever i try to load the game it says "you must perform a system update to play The Legend Of Zelda Breath Of The Wild. Returning to Wii U menu." and then my screen goes black does anyone know how to fix this?
Great tutorial, though some constructive criticism. It'd be better to not rely on us to watch another channels tutorials or videos. Swashed had his video taken down so I (and I'm assuming others) had to go on a wild goose chase to find some important information to actually get it all working.
My guy, I played this game on my switch back then, but playing this on 4K 60 fps is a life changer, thank you so much for explaining in detail the step by step on how to get this working! Huge Huge kudos to you man!!!
