​

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.

Which amiibos give the armor pieces? Any sword pieces?

I wanted to know that too, I tested with all the zelda ones but only got paraglide fabric and a bunch of random stuff

Have you been able to fix this somehow? You are the only one who has seen this happen or at least complains.

I am most certainly not the only one. The underground is wrecked for everyone playing on emu. Well, Ryujinx, anyway. Yuzu doesn't run the game currently. Essentially the floor and walls in the underground are invisible so you can just see everything in the zone as if it's floating in space. There's grass on the invisible ground that you can kind of use to guide yourself but it sucks and the atmosphere is completely ruined. Obviously if you're playing with a hacked switch things will render properly, though I hear the performance is rough.

I had not time to play beyond the third shrine yet, but I'm guessing that this challenge is for the power that makes objects back in time, like we saw on the trailer.

Just as I feared, TotK feels like a DLC of BotW to me, and I still haven't recovered from the fatigue cause by many hours of BotW. Not sure I will be able to finish that game.

Edit: nvm.

Can we have people asking for help about in-game stuff and general spoilers etc go here? - https://gbatemp.net/threads/spoilers-ahead-zelda-totk-help-thread.632207/

it's a good philosophy to have, to put a hard thing to the side and focus on other things until it makes sense.
Where in Hyrule is the shrine, I can hit it up when I'm done bashing my head against the "first" boss

I've read some people had the real flash cart and dumped it, maybe Nintendo distributed early copies somehow...
I doubt it was related to network security

when did flash carts for the switch get released, where can i buy one

 

[RenDG]

I don't think there's anything we can fix there, it's an emulator issue. I tried all kinds of different settings, but nah the Depths are just completely messed up. Gonna have to wait for an update.

I've experienced the same checkerboard rock texture problem, so I wouldn't be surprised if the Underground area is also not visually correct when I get there.
TBH I thought the checkers were runic scrawls on the walls in the prologue

How it run better this game in Ryujinx, with Vulkan or OpenGL?

Vulkan has stabler performance but lots of graphical issues, mostly with messed up shadows in cutscenes. OpenGL is much more accurate visually, coming as the cost of performance. If you have a beefy PC OpenGL is probably the better experience for the more accurate visuals. If you don't, then vulkan for performance and just ignore how weird some things look.

 

[Hayato213]

So the game is 20fps majority of the time?

I got 30fps in the overworld.

Thanks for the answer...!!!

Has anyone tried 60fps on v1 (Erista)? curious to know if it's playable and how it looks.

Spoiler for answer
It's a batting cage, like baseball, and you have to build the batter. Swing with the switch up at the viewing platform!

 

[NisseTisse123]

Is anyone working on an upgraded 60fps patch for TotK? Cause I think we really need one that doesn't slow down when under 60fps, and doesn't speed up in shrines and cutscenes right now.
