The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom modders have already cracked the code for running the new game in 60fps and 4K despite only having launched days ago.
After six years of development, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has finally arrived. The follow-up to the critically acclaimed Breath of the Wild is already making waves in the gaming industry. In large part due to the fantastic new mechanics that fully encourage player creativity and an endless supply of imagination.
One of the biggest concerns surrounding the release of Tears of the Kingdom, however, was whether or not the Nintendo Switch would be able to run the game at a consistent and solid frame rate. These concerns are ever more elevated after the buggy and glitchy release of the recent Pokemon Scarlet & Violet games.
However, based on the early reception of Tears of the Kingdom, it is fair to say that Nintendo has still managed to produce a revolutionary game despite the limitations of the Switch. Yet while the game may be wowing fans all over, that hasn’t stopped Zelda modders from getting to work nonetheless.
