Since day one, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has been playable on PC thanks to the Yuzu and Ryujinx emulators, but just having a playable Nintendo Switch exclusive right at release wasn’t enough for many, as many are the mods that have been released so far that improve the experience so much that playing the game on PC is becoming the definitive way to experience Link’s latest adventure.
Those with extremely powerful PCs can also run the latest entry in the series at 8K resolution, 60 FPS, and they do not need to have an 8K display to experience the sharpest possible visuals if they own an NVIDIA RTX GPU. As showcased in an excellent configuration video shared by iTzMojo on YouTube, it is possible to configure NVIDIA DLDSR (Deep Learning Dynamic Super Resolution) so as to enjoy these crispy visuals at 60 frames per second. Even if you do not have powerful hardware to run The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom at 8K resolution, the video is a very good watch as the configuration options it showcases can improve performance considerably on a variety of different systems.
As mentioned above, users are not just content with just being able to run The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom on PC, so many dedicated developers have been working on some excellent mods that improve visuals, gameplay, and performance. Yesterday, we reported that a ray tracing mod is currently in development, enhancing the game’s lighting considerably even in its work-in-progress state.
Even without all of the unofficial improvements that are being introduced to the game, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is an amazing game and one of the best released this year, enhancing and expanding the experience of its predecessor in amazing ways.
