Tears of the Kingdom Has Ray Tracing On PC

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom only launched last Friday, but it's already running perfectly on emulators, and now people have got the title running with Raytracing.

Emulators such as Yuzu and Ryujinx have managed to get The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom running in up to an 8K resolution and a stable 60 FPS framerate. Using a program known as ReShade, PC modders are able to make the game run with ray tracing enabled too. It might not be perfect, especially given how the game isn't built with that in mind and isn't designed around that technology, but it works pretty well.

In other Tears of the Kingdom news, the sequel to 2017's Breath of the Wild is rapidly becoming one of the best launches of the entire year, with the game already being the biggest boxed launch in the UK according to a report, beating out Hogwarts Legacy for that title despite being a single-platform launch.
