Oh god, I want to experience this game for the first time again.
I got back into video games again during lockdowns and after leaving a very soul-crushing relationship. It was probably the perfect time in my life to experience BotW.
Yeah, but that’s a horrible idea in today’s world. You’ll pay a bigger price premium for an old rcm exploitable switch, than you will pay for just installing a modchip in a patched switch. Not to mention the significantly worse overclocking potential and battery life of the 2018 switch compared to the newer Mariko and OLED models
Oh yes, I love Shadow of the Collosus and Ico! Played them as a child, and played Collosus during lockdowns as well. It really can use a control update, but otherwise the game holds up really well!
Legend of Zelda?

How would one go about playing it if they don’t have an Nintendo console?
Buy a switch?
I don’t spend a lot of time gaming. It would almost certainly be buying it to play just this game.
Also Nintendo are kind of ducks, so I don’t really want to give them any money.
You could buy a used Switch and install a modchip to play pirated games.
But yeah, not really worth it if you only want to play 1 specific game and already have a pc powerful enough for emulating it
You can also buy one of the older switch consoles from 2018 which are not patched and you can inject a payload via rcm mode.

You’ll have to pirate it, then use the Ryujinx emulator.
Or you can use CEMU to use the Wii U version of the game.
Ah cool thanks, with some news articles recently I wasn’t sure if there were still emulators available.
Yuzu got shit down but Ryujinx is still here
edit: I’m keeping the typo
You could probably still find a fork of yuzu, if that’s what you want.
Have you ever played Shadow of the Collosus? If not, I think it’ll give a lot of the same vibes that you’re looking for.
