How to play Breath of the Wild on your smartphone
This game is a Nintendo exclusive but there are ways to enjoy this classic on your phone. So if you want to play Breath of the Wild, please follow the following steps meticulously:
- You need a powerful smartphone. The phone should have a Snapdragon 865 processor at the very least. Other SoCs with similar performance like the Dimensity 1200, 7200 Ultra, 8050, Exynos 1480 etc. should also work.
- A Nintendo Wii U or Switch emulator. You should try Cemu or Yuzu or any of the forks laying around e.g. Suyu or Yuzu.
- Adjust the settings of the emulator to the lowest and search online for Turnip GPU drivers. These should help the game run better. GPU drivers work best with Adreno GPUs from Snapdragon processors.
- Get a cooling fan or some other cooling situation because Breath of the Wild is a very tasking game that will quickly heat up your phone.
- Get a controller too as it'll improve your gaming experience. Any cheap but sturdy controller should work like a charm.
- Finally, download and install the game as well as the version 1.6.0 update
And that's all. You're all set to go.
