      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.

        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.

          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!

          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.

            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.

                  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

                    Yea I guess you have a point about the battery life and the overclocking potential, but the price depends on who you buy it from. I bought mine at a good price.
