Emulation has enabled some truly incredible Zelda mods the last few years. (And some silly ones, too.)

, the Wii U emulator that shot to widespread attention around the release of the game in 2017. Before helping birth a thriving mod scene, the volunteer developers behind Cemu had a more daunting challenge—just getting the game to work on PCs. "What makes Breath of the Wild tricky to emulate vs most other games is that it offloads some non-graphics tasks onto the GPU," says Cemu creator Exzap.

"We tried to make it understood that pledging was seen as a donation more than a promise to get anything in return," says Exzap."Although we did have exclusive access to new releases a week in advance at that time.

"Unlike regular game development, it's really hard to predict what kind of progress you will be making and thus promises are hard to keep," they said."Even worse, seemingly simple emulation bugs can turn into rabbit holes that take months to fix, which is in stark contrast to everyone wanting a bug fix or higher framerates as fast as possible."

Aggressive Nintendo copyright strikes on YouTube push Breath of the Wild multiplayer modders into taking down modNintendo's stepped up its attack on Breath of the Wild multiplayer mod videos so weird that Nintendo doesn't realize that botw videos leading up to tears of the kingdom only just builds more hype for the sequel. Attacking fans now while being quiet about it for years is definitely classic Nintendo behaviour My assumption is some vague 'order' to avoid spoilers from leaking out to the public. As if spoilers mattered. Nintendo are making decisions without caring about PR, because they have their religious followers that will defend them at any cost.
