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)

@H1B1Esquire one last question before I disappear into the game: when the US version drops, will the save games from the EU version work?

 

[H1B1Esquire]

@raphzthename

That, I am unsure of. It seems likely it won't work. If it was Loadiine, probably yes, but I don't think it'll work correctly, even if you use Saviine.

 

[raphzthename]

@H1B1Esquire ah no worries. I'm going to enjoy the fuck out of it. Hope you have a good time as well!

Why is the update stalling at 48%?

 

[H1B1Esquire]

Why is the update stalling at 48%?

Did you use 5.00GB of data in six hours from a Mega link?

 

[pierreman1]

No, i'm talking about it installing in wud installer GX2, the game installs perfectly, but the update just halts at 48 or 49 percent.

 

[H1B1Esquire]

No, i'm talking about it installing in wud installer GX2, the game installs perfectly, but the update just halts at 48 or 49 percent.

How long did you let it attempt to install? Longer than five minutes?

 

[pierreman1]

Yeah, pretty much. But i'll just wait until the update drops i think.

 

[Illumini]

hi i already isntal the game and update. but when i press it loading then have message " you must preform syetm update to play the legend of zelda"
i check my system is already 5.51 my wii u is usa

thanks

That's weird i haven't ran into that problem before, i don't know what to tell you. And you installed mocha right, and you're using mocha before you boot the game right?

yup i use mocha and another game can load

Hi, I had this issue as well, when I had installed the game to USB and the update to system (which I do for other games as well). I then re-downloaded all files, and installed both on USB, and now all is working fine!

 

[Geezerdorf]

Words cannot describe how much i appreciate this simple guide to make it work!
I've been out of the WiiU Scene for a while, but i love to see that so much progress has been done.

I'll play to my heart's content the EUR version, and still cannot wait for the NTSC version to be here just for certain voice actings!

Thanks again!

 

[Lucky117]

If I don't have CFW can I just use the mocha website and then install the game from there? When I try to use the website my Wii U just hangs in a white screen...

 

[Namanix]

@Lucky117 You do need to put some homebrew files on your sd card i think before you can boot that.

 

[namad]

is there any reason i cannot just put the game on my sd in /install
then go to wupinstaller.com/wi
allow the game to install.
shut off the console.
then put the update in /install
go to wupinstaller.com/wi again
allow that to install. save myself the trouble of needing any CFW at all? just using the instructions for 5.4.0 on wupinstaller.com ?
"
Wii U
-Put the SD card into your Wii U at any time before loading the exploit.
-Start the browser and go to this site [Link], you should be returned to home menu,
-Start the browser AGAIN using the same URL, you will be returned to the home menu again.
-Exit to the Wii U menu, the installation is done in the background and usually takes about 5-10 minutes depending on the size of your title and speed of your SD card.
The version title install is instant.
-Reboot your system and check if it installed correctly in the data management, or system settings when you installed the version title.
Important: The update has to be on the same device as the game (NAND or USB), if your game is on an USB device you have to move the update to USB for it to work.

or will this not work for some reason? because the update is somehow only able to function in cfw?

 

[naddel81]

there seems to be a new update that eliminates the need for sigptaches.

 

[namad]

I guess I cannot do it the way I want until at the earliest friday, because until the game is released there will be no legit update ticket. What I mean though is if I can get a legit update ticket after friday could I do it the way I mentioned in post 173 to avoid using cfw's?

 

[Scoop111]

Like Naddel just said there has just come out a scene-release which contains a legit ticket for the update. So no more need for a CfW from what I've read.

 

[SpontaneousCookie]

It looks like the download was removed for some reason. Does anyone have the link?

 

[Fotonick]

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)

Is this right? First you say 258 files and then 259, it's a little confusing imho.
With 'final version' you mean 258 game files + title.tik already in same folder?

So that means that 10,551,280,012 bytes are game with tik?
It should be specifyed in step 3 then for better clarity, since in step 1 you talk about downloading the game, in step 2 the tik and in 3 merging the files.
Imho obviously, your guide, you decide.
