2 - Download Switch emulator

*Download RyuSak. It's a cool utility to complement Ryujinx with, it helps for downloading the necessary prod.keys and firmware to play your switch games. Also good to download shader cache, install mods and/or fixes for your games.

https://github.com/Ecks1337/RyuSAK/releases

This is where you'll find patches for TOTK, among other things.

**Manually download the firmware and prod.keys here if Ryusak stops working:
https://github.com/Abd-007/Switch-Emulators-Guide/blob/main/Ryujinx.md#keys

To decipher the keys, go on:

And copypaste the strings there to uncover the links.

3 - Fixes & Mods

Game only runs on Ryujinx for now. Only the intro is capped at 20 fps. The game runs at a solid 30 fps after that - but it depends on the strength of your machine.

Use Ryujinx v.1.1.739, apparently best.

Enable Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling (HAGS) then restart computer.

If you experience crashes every 10-20 mins, try switching your audio backend between OpenAL and SDL2.
Also try running the game in handheld at 2x resolution scaling. (fucks with cutscenes, reduces crash frequency)

>60 FPS MOD PROTOTYPE
