TotK Recomp

TotK Recomp is a static recompilation of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (Nintendo Switch, 2023) into a native Windows x86-64 application (docs/architecture.md).

[!IMPORTANT] No game files are included. You need your own legally obtained copy of Tears of the Kingdom, dumped from your own console: the base game and the 1.2.1 or 1.4.3 update. Instructions for obtaining those files will not be provided.

The game is built from your files on your machine, so the result contains the game. It is for your own use. Do not share it.

Status

Early development. The game is playable on Windows; visual bugs and crashes are still expected.

Report problems as issues, following CONTRIBUTING.md.

Features

  • Native code, not emulation
  • Game updates 1.2.1 and 1.4.3, with saves that carry over between them
  • 60 fps by default; up to 144 fps or the monitor's refresh rate (experimental)
  • Custom resolutions (1080p, 2k...), supersampling and AMD FSR 1 upscaling
  • In-game settings menu (F1) and performance overlay (F10)
  • Keyboard, mouse and gamepad with remapping, rumble and gyro
  • Shaders prepared at install instead of during play

Planned

  • Linux and the Steam Deck
  • Mods made for emulators: unpack a mod into a mods folder
  • Custom aspect ratios, including ultrawide
  • VRR

Installing

Requirements: Windows 10 or later, an x86-64 CPU with AVX2, a GPU with Vulkan 1.3 and VK_EXT_external_memory_host, about 36 GiB free during setup (20 GiB after).

  1. Download TotK-Setup--windows.zip from Releases and unpack it.
  2. Start TotK-Setup.exe. If SmartScreen warns about an unsigned app, choose More info, then Run anyway.
  3. Pick your game files, the language and an install folder, and press Start. The setup builds the game once.
  4. Play totk.exe from the install folder.

To update, run a newer TotK-Setup.exe on the same folder; saves and settings are kept. Settings are in the in-game menu and in totk.ini (totk.ini.example lists every key). Controls: docs/controls.md.
