If you are hoping to play The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on PC at launch, don’t hold you breath. The video below shows the game booting to the menu screen in CEMU and hints at a tease of what to come from emulation. Although it is still in starting stage of development which means it wouldn’t be possible to play the actual game. While The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is only playable on the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Wii U, there is a way to run it on PC using the Nintendo Wii U emulator, CEMU. Most of the critics have awarded it a perfect score resulting in a Metacritic average of 98 for it, which makes it the second best game of all time, just behind The Legend of Zelda Ocarnia of Time. Our own Chris Bratt investigated Nintendo's thorny relationship with emulators in the video, below.The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild is out today and it has immediately become one of the highest rated game released this generation. In a FAQ on the official Nintendo website, the company calls emulators "the greatest threat to date to the intellectual property rights of video game developers", adding "emulators developed to play illegally copied Nintendo software promote piracy". Nintendo takes a dim view of unofficial emulators. While the success of getting Zelda (sort of) working on PC so quickly is worthy of note, it begs the question: would those who will download and play it have bought a Switch or GameCube copy of the game legitimately instead?Īfter all, a year subscription to CEMU's Patreon at its average donation level is enough to just buy the game. Provided you have the PC power, it will let you run Super Mario Sunshine at 60fps, and now boot every game in GameCube's library.īut like Dolphin, or any other emulator, CEMU runs pirated copies of games. In many ways, CEMU is a spiritual successor to Dolphin, the GameCube emulator whose progress we've followed over the years. The team is supported by some 1857 people at the time of writing, who collectively donate $7782 per month (around £6300). Manage cookie settingsĬEMU is funded through Patreon.
