How to Get Zelda: Breath of the Wild on PC via Cemu ISO Download

====================================================================

For fans of action-adventure games who also happen to be Nintendo Switch owners, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is often considered one of – if not the best – titles in the series. Unfortunately for those without a Switch or prefer playing on their powerful gaming PCs instead, there hasn't been an official port yet from Nintendo.

However, all hope isn't lost! Thanks to some dedicated developers working around-the-clock outside of Big N's purview (yes we're talking about Cemu), it is indeed possible to play Zelda: Breath of the Wild on your PC using nothing but a simple ISO download. So let's dive right into how you can do just that!

What You'll Need

-------------

Before diving headfirst into this tutorial, make sure you've got all the necessary components ready:

1. A Windows 10/11 or later machine: Cemu currently only supports these operating systems.

2. Cemu itself installed on your PC: Head over to their official website and grab the latest version (make sure it's compatible with both your OS and graphics card).

3. The Zelda: Breath of the Wild ISO file for Switch

Step-by-Step Guide

--------------

Now that we've covered all bases, let's get down to business!

### Step 1: Download Cemu

First things first – you're going to need a copy of CEMU installed on your PC before anything else can happen. Head over to the official CEMU website (link provided above) and download the latest version that matches both your operating system and graphics card architecture.

Once downloaded, follow these simple steps:

1. Extract all files from the zip/7z archive you just received into a new folder on your hard drive – somewhere easy to find later wouldn't go amiss.

2. Double-click Cemu.exe within that newly created directory to launch it for the first time.

### Step 2: Download Zelda: Breath of the Wild ISO

Next up, we'll need ourselves a legitimate copy of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wii U or Switch version – sorry folks but no pirated releases allowed here!

You can grab either version from one of these reputable sources:

* Nintendo's official eShop store

* Your local game shop (if they still sell physical copies)

Once you've got your hands on a copy, follow along with this next part to extract the ISO file we'll need later.

### Step 3: Extract Zelda: Breath of the Wild from its Package

Depending on how you acquired your copy and what format it came in will determine exactly where (and whether!) you'll find an ISO file within. Here's a quick rundown:

* Wii U Version: Open up Origin or Steam depending on which store you purchased from, navigate to 'Library', then click on Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Right-click (or Ctrl+click) > 'Manage' > 'Local Files'. In there, look for an .iso file with a name like `ZeldaBreathOfTheWild.iso` – this is what we want!

* Switch Version: First things first – you'll need to jailbreak your Switch before proceeding. After doing so:

1. Launch the Nintendo Switch Home menu.

Go into 'Settings' > 'System'.

In here, scroll down until you see an option labeled as 'Manage Software'. Tap on it.

3. Now click the three dots at top-right corner then select 'Downloadable Games & DLC'.

4. Finally, tap 'Erase All Data' and confirm your decision when prompted.

5. You should now be back in the Home screen again! From here:

a) Connect your Switch to PC via USB cable or using any other preferred method (e.g., microSD card reader).

### Step 4: Play Zelda: Breath of the Wild on Cemu!

Congratulations – you've made it this far without encountering too many snags along the way! Now all that remains is to launch CEMU and enjoy your freshly installed copy of Zelda: Breath of the Wild in glorious HD resolution.

1. Double-click cemu.exe within its installation folder once more.

2. In the window that appears, click on 'File' > 'Load ROM...' (or press Ctrl+Shift+L).

3. Navigate to where you extracted your ISO file earlier and double-click it – voilà! Zelda: Breath of the Wild should now be running smoothly within Cemu.

Tips & Tricks

----------

Before we wrap things up, here are a few additional tips and tricks to help make your Zelda: BotW experience on PC even more enjoyable:

* Adjust graphics settings as needed: Depending on how powerful your rig is (and personal preference, naturally), you may want to mess around with the in-game graphics options to find an optimal balance between performance and visual fidelity.

* Use a controller for best control: Trust us – playing Zelda: BotW with anything other than a proper gaming pad just doesn't quite cut it. If possible, grab yourself a Switch Pro Controller or even splurge on one of those fancy new Logitech Gamepads.

And that's it! With these simple steps and some basic knowledge about emulation software like Cemu under your belt (pun intended), you should now be well-equipped to enjoy The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild in all its glory – right from the comfort of your own home office. Happy gaming, folks!
