The Yuzu folks are currently working on fixing the lighting issues affecting the game which may be what’s causing the lack of graphicsįollowing precedent, it’s totally plausible that the game will reach playable state ( provided you have PC hardware that’s high-end enough) in the coming weeks as the Yuzu team is skilled enough to get games to semi-playable/playable state in just a few days similar to what happened with Pokemon: Let’s Go Pikachu/Eeeve 10 months ago.Currently, there’s an odd blue tint on the top of the screen in some areas meaning that the emulator is trying to render something but failing.Audio and input seem to work just fine although no graphics are shown when in-game even though subtitles and button prompts show up just fine.It’s possible to start a new game and get into the game itself.The game boots and gets to the title screen although only a black background is shown instead of the title screen’s graphics.

Right now, it looks as if someone turned off the lights while playing the game but the Yuzu team are currently on it so substantial developments may be coming soon!Īpparently, this was made possible thanks to game dumps from Australian folks due to their timezone and ogniK‘s timely work in getting the game to load.Īs of right now, the state of emulation of this newly-released game is as follows: This title retails for $60, which is a tad too steep for a remake of a 26 year old game in my opinion, and is a Nintendo Switch exclusive with no other ports being announced as of yet but thanks to Yuzu, its exclusivity might get challenged as it may become playable on PC in the foreseeable future! TLZ: Link’s Awakening booting and getting in-game in Yuzu – Currently not playable but good progress has been made nonethelessĪround 9 hours ago, the Yuzu team tweeted out that they were able to get the game running in the latest Canary (similar to Nightlies) build of their emulator along with some screenshots to back this up. Announced in February, the game received favourable reviews (8-10/10) which were mostly published yesterday and today, it got released probably to coincide with the public availability of the Switch Lite. If you’re acquainted with the Zelda series, you might be thinking “Isn’t this a GameBoy game?” and you’d be right but Nintendo has made a remake of the game for the Nintendo Switch which features a 3D environment with updated graphics making it look similar to games like Oceanhorn.
