Nintendo games have the tendency to get leaked days, if not weeks, ahead from the proper release date, and as usual, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is no exception, more so given the anticipation of the sequel to the highly acclaimed Breath of the Wild, released 6 years ago.

The game seems to have been dumped today, May 1st, and shared online already in the familiar NSP and XCI formats, with many already playing it through Ryujinx and Yuzu, though how good compatibility is there with the title is not known yet, but some have cited good performance compared to Switch, which seems to still share the same shuggy gameplay and performance drops that its predecessor had as well in real hardware.

As usual, remember that we don't allow sharing links to ROM sites of any kind, so please avoid posting them.

Ummm ALL Switch consoles are equal. And I mean every Switch model share the same specs(CPU, GPU, RAM, etc) including the Switch Lite. So there shouldn't be a performance difference between any of the models. The difference is between Docked and Handheld Modes. Because the Switch itself cut the performance to save battery. And that apply to all Switch models except the Switch Lite because that one its always in Handheld Mode for obvious reasons.

So idk why people are trying to compare Switch V1 performance with V2 or the OLED. Since theyre all the same.

I didn’t compare anything, I just stated I have a V1 Switch

Technically if you have a V2 or OLED you can overclock them further I guess?

Same CPU. Same RAM. Different screen.

Same CPU. Same RAM. Different screen.

but yes, mariko models can overclock much higher than v1 due to the lower power draw and temps.

I understand. From what I've seen, the improvement is negligible. You wind up with a hotter Switch and get maybe 5-10fps improvement.

I don't know if that's worth the trade.

@WalterSlovotsky max oc mariko is colder than an stock v1.

Did not know this. This is why I need to stick to just softmods. No good with hardware.

My v1 runs 55C full MAX oc all day, docked no problem,But the graphics on the Switch native give me a horrible headache with OLED (TV), with all the flickering only handheld is ok, but atm i play with Ryujinx because 4k60 @4090, and it is really smooth, some Texture glitches but for now it is fine.

I read title, I set sail to google waters

Makes ZERO difference

This might be the only reason this site will at least have one game review ready by release date.

Wake me up when Yuzu gets past the Loading screen :^}

This is probably why we never got a demo for Tears Of The Kingdom on the E shop.

May have found a bug which makes the game incompletable right now either that or I haven't been able to figure out something but I've been at it for 4 hours and can't figure out if there is something I'm not doing. In the Gerudo Boss Fight once it gets to half health, I believe it should trigger something else in the fight. which doesn't seem to happen, and you are no longer able to damage it .

Mine ran fine up untill i got into the water after activating that circle thing with my new hand. Reinstalled it with different tools, anyone have some advice? Tried different sd's too, it always seems to corrupt the game :/

 

[scroeffie1984]

i just got off the sky platform been struggeling allot turning and twisting things i gave up and started to walk over the rails

OK it kinda pains me to admit it but I'm starting to warm up to the game. I'm still in the Prelude area but the world structure seems vastly different from BotW. So far in TotK the overworld seems designed like a huge dungeon and I like it. Maybe that will change when I leave this area, I'll see. Gameplay is still confusing though, ultrahand is really annoying and I hate that there's no option to keep Z-targeting without holding the button. And of course I'm still dreading weapon durability and stamina.
