How to Install First Person Mod in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom in Yuzu Emulator

Despite its outdated hardware and less powerful chipset, the Switch remains a compact and impressive device that has successfully run demanding games such as Doom (2016), Nier: Automata, Doom Eternal, and most recently, Nintendo’s own The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Thanks to the remarkable technical work by Nintendo EPD and Monolith Soft, ToTK manages to maintain a relatively stable 30 FPS on the console, with minimal lag or stuttering. However, some players find this performance insufficient and opt to play the game on emulators instead of the native Nintendo Switch platform. As is customary with anything PC-related, mods also come into play. ToTK already boasts a decent number of mods that enhance the gameplay experience on emulators, but there are those who take it a step further and create interesting modifications. One such recent addition is a first-person view mod, catering to the preferences of certain players.

Traditionally, Zelda games have exclusively featured third-person gameplay ever since transitioning into the 3D era of gaming. This perspective is generally considered more suitable for action-adventure games. Nonetheless, there are always individuals who seek novelty and enjoy experimenting with different approaches. Tears of the Kingdom is not the first game to receive a first-person mod, and it certainly won’t be the last. So, if you’re curious about installing the first-person mod for Zelda ToTK on the Yuzu emulator for PC, let’s delve into the process!
