Edit: All modpacks have been updated for Zelda TOTK v1.2.0. If you use them with an older or newer version the game may not work

Hey guys, for a first video getting 2.3k views in just a bit over a day has been beyond what I expected. It's a modest figure compared to established channels, but given this is the 'first' I'm quite stoked.

I know it’s been sometime since this video - however it remains absolutely relevant and still works. I am planning to do future videos however with Yuzu deprecated for good, I may do one more Yuzu farewell, and some further refinements to this existing tutorial. After that, I have some ideas for continued useful content.
I really appreciate the compliments and it is encouraging. Please stay tuned.

It you want to know when I update new videos and the mods I make announcements whenever I can on my discord server:

for those experiencing the launching forever screen what worked for me was I went into properties of Tears of the kingdom(In yuzu right click it) and used all the optimization mods except for Sweetmini 1008P not sure why Yuzu was behaving this way but i solved it by individually testing out each mod hope it works for you guys

[myaawp]

Honestly watching this video made me think you were a 30-100k subscriber youtuber just by how well explained and crisp the video is.

[AppleSauceYo]

Just wanted to add in this for people with lower to mid end graphics cards. The only difference I would make to this video is changing the ASTC Recompression to BC3 if you have 4-6 GbVram graphics card and anything less than 4gb to BC1. Great video and simple, Thanks

[LegendaryGlasses]

The big thing is what the Yuzu quick guide tells you to do. I know full well how to download and install stuff on my computer. What I think most of us need help with is understanding what to do and how to do it properly when following Yuzus quick guide. Thank you for your work.

[nZaneR]

Thanks for making this tutorial! From what I can see Yuzu gets a lot of tuning at the moment regrading Zelda TotK, almost every day I see a new EA release. I could imagine that settings and stuff will change soon to achieve even better performance. Hope these settings will last a while and if not, it would be extremely cool if there would be updated information in the description.

helped out a ton get 50-55 fps in most places and 60 in cutscenes and stuff, please do make updated videos on this in the future as well

[MarioGoatse]

You nailed this video bro. Perfect from the start to the end! I’ve been playing TOTK for about a week or two, but looked up a guide to see if I could fix some of the stutters I was getting (5600x and 3080 12GB, and these settings fixed it perfectly for me. Not sure exactly which setting made the difference, but it definitely helped! Thanks bro. Have a like and a sub.

[LuisGarcia-jply]

Went through numerous videos trying to get 60 fps. None of them worked except for this channel. The other mods were a added bonus plus the xbox controller ui. Good job and thanks you earned a Sub and like!

1) only old Switches made up to some point in 2018 are "dumpable" - if people have newer Switches - bad luck I guess.
2) On AMD cards - select everything in advanced tab (AMD prefers asynchronous compute) - also the way AMD RDNA cards boost clocks it's best to artificially force max clock as dropping into lower power states causes stutters. Also on AMD - use vsync off (immediate).

[Captain_Boi]

Very good and not over explaining things and goes at a nice pace.
Great Video!

[azopxt]

Dude makes a single video, explains everything well, helps a ton of people and disappears. You are a legend, thank you!

[adrimarxkunin]

You are the best, I have been trying for days to get it to work at a stable 60fps and you have been the only one who has achieved it, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[gelocampo]

this is a MASSIVE help for me, able to play smoothly now.. thanks!! subbed and liked..

[barsan]

Ive been trying to fix fps for days and watched many videos until i found yours. Thank you so much!

[Mailamea]

Thank you so much for this guide I switched now using Ryujinx to Yuzu cause of you it's so glorious running a 5800x and 3090 here can get stable 60fps after shaders are fully built at 4x resolution. Edit: you can see in my channel how ryujinx runs with my hardware using optimization guides for ryujinx not smooth like in yuzu

[R_BN_]

Watch out for the nintendo ninja's
