How to install and play Eur BotW

After you completed the following
MattKimura's Wii U hacking guide(you only need steps I-III)

1. Download the game files which contains 258 files, i renamed the '00050000101C9500' folder to 'Z1' (final version with the uncorrupted files should be 259 files, 10,551,280,012 bytes)
2. Download the .tik file and rename it to title.tik (be sure you have extensions enabled or you can mess up and rename it to title.tik.tik if your extensions are hidden)
3. Place the title.tik files in the game folder (you should now have 259 files with the tik added on)
4. Download the update (the one from MEGA) and put it in a folder named Z2
5. On your SD card you need to have a folder called 'install' where you will place the game folder and the update folder (name those 2 folders Z1=the actual game and Z2=update)
[Also installing on NAND is much quicker than USB]

6. Insert the SD card into the Wii U and turn it on
7. Run a CFW (Mocha doesn't require anything special to set up so use it if you don't have one)
8. Run homebrew channel → WUP install GX2 → install the Z1 folder first.
9. For safe measure reboot and repeat steps 6,7 &8, but this time install Z2, the game update.
10. (Optional) Go to your internet settings of the WiiU → your connection and change the connection SSID name by adding a 0, that way your wiiu isn't connected once you start your gameplay just as a precaution so your WiiU doesn't get banned!
11. Once both files are installed press home, exit MiiMaker, start the game and have fun


Error: If you get an error saying something about Sig patcher, you can download and install an app from the HomebBrew App Store under 'Tools' named 'SigPatcher2HBL' and/or 'SigPatcher2sysmenu', load them and retry install!

Enjoy.

Remember if you don't want to play this game using your WiiU pad, you can install HID TO VPAD from the HomebBrew App Store under 'Tools' and play BotW using your PS4 controller! (tutorial for that is also in MattKimura's Wii U hacking guide)

Also check out my mini guide on how to reduce frame-rate drop/lag in the game

And a Special shout out to Frenchbro for providing us with the tik! :D

i was able to install the game, but when trying to install the update i got "Verify WUP files are correct & complete. DLC/E-shop require Sig Patch"/

Edit: When downloading the game with wii u usb helper, it worked; no need for cfw either as long as you get your region

Sometimes that happens when trying to load up hbl. I used the URL "loadiine.ovh" to load it, nothing else. Just keep trying. The update should go away after you get through to install v33.

Finally got back to the HBC and installed the update (which had been downloaded via WiiU USB Helper). Couple of nervy moments when starting the game when you think it's not going to work but ... works like a charm :D Only played for about 5 minutes to test so far but noticed nothing wrong with textures from my POV though it is a bit difficult to play on game pad only :)

Thanks all the help guys.

Hello. I'm trying to install the update but I keep getting the syg patcher error. I have downloaded and launched every syg patch app there is. I've redownloaded the update v33 to make sure the files were not corrupted. None of the above worked. Any solution? Thanks

I installed the game and my girlfriend was playing it perfectly last night. I turned the console back on today and its no longer on any of the tiles in the main menu. How do I access it?

I got the game working fine, in terms of actually playing it (I only loaded into the beginning and moved the camera around to test it so far)... but I'm curious, is it supposed to try updating each time you run the game? Mine tries to update each time I run it, fails to update, asks about my internet connection (I changed the SSID to prevent it from going online, so it figures it might ask about it while trying to update), but if I start the game without updating, it runs fine. Am I missing something, or...?

@PhotonWolfsky you should install the 2gb update, it's bound to fix graphics etc

I keep getting a "System Update required" error. Is this fixed with the v33 update? I followed everything to the tee, except that update. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys!

Did you install it to an external drive or the NAND? I installed it to NAND and haven't experienced the first bit of lag.
External drive... I'm an idiot aren't I? I thought you weren't supposed install games that aren't your region to NAND even with mocha; wouldn't it brick your console??? If not how would I go about reinstalling to NAND while keeping my savefile? Would I use the Wii U's data-management and move everything to system storage? Thanks in advance.

Backup the save then use Wii U USB Helper to download the game. Then install it with WUP Installer. This is what I did and have had no issues whatsoever.

I have all the game files and updates already. How can I backup the save? Would I have to delete the previous installation from my external drive? Also, my Wii U is the 8 GB model, is that a problem? Sorry for the numerous questions lol.

Oh, since it's the 8 GB model then there's no point in following my suggestions. The game is about 13 GB coupled with the update. You can try turning your Wii U's resolution down to 1080i instead of 1080p (or even 720p). I've seen some reports stating that this speeds it up in some areas that typically lag.

Welp RIP me, I can't even complain though because the game is amazing. I'll try turning my Wii U's resolution down to 720p since that's what the game runs at anyways. Thanks for all the help and suggestions!

And how. This is the first game I've been fully invested into since Skyrim (so, it's been about six years since I've fallen in love with a game). I've devoted about 20 hours to it and I'm still at the very beginning (I've only beat one divine beast, but still, so much to do), which I absolutely love. It feels like Nintendo finally got the message that their devoted fans wanted a challenging game and they delivered.
