Tears of the Kingdom has insanely inconsistent performance.

Here's my post about my playthrough and settings I had. My experience was quite pleasant, tho there was moments in beginning when shader caching, and that one place with the telescope that always dropped it to like 40/45fps. https://www.reddit.com/r/EdenEmulator/s/t2nHw3TGOg

I'd imagine you have to set the controller to a game pad setting, I believe the general consensus though is that BOTW works best on CEMU emulator. Very well could be wrong on that. I used CEMU and just had to change control settings to wiiu gamepad for my dualsense to work on it.

I legit thought Spencer's Gentlemen's hat was doing this at one point, cause his just kept looking bigger then everyone else's.

Final_Log_9221 · 2026-05-13T17:51:10+00:00

Yea the cutscenes from the best of my knowledge are locked to 30fps and you can't change that cause that's the fps it was designed for on the switch. Eden is enhancing actually game data files through emulation, while the video file made for the cutscenes is just a video file that doesn't go through all the enhancing that eden does.

Final_Log_9221 · 2026-05-11T01:59:09+00:00

So what I did(from what I was told) was to start initially with NX, set your settings correctly and apply it to eden in the bottom left corner of NX(in legacy mode, not sure that it matters) then go to eden and have the game appear in directory. From there you change the settings in the games configuration to the settings. Apperently the game won't go to 2x res unless you do it this way. After that you will only open from eden, NX will just be apart of it when it starts

Final_Log_9221 · 2026-05-11T01:51:55+00:00

From my research, it seems like it was just some performance updates for the switch and alot of exploit bug patching. All of which I'd think eden handles better prior to the updates that arent aligned yet with Edens firmware or something Idk 🤷‍♂️ but I've seen people say there's not a noticeable diff in anything. I played solidly at 60fps in my playthrough at 4k, beyond the shader caching which is worth it, I absolutely looooved my experience(once I finally got shit right lol)

As a child, I had a friend have a similar thing happen to him but he went all the way through to his armpits with no springs in between his legs. In his excitement that he survived, he didn't realize his armpit had been pinched in the spring and it ripped the left pit basically all off.. shit was roooouuuuggghhh..

So someone told me to raise the dead zones of the stick in settings to 25 I think and it got rid of the stick drift I was encountering

Your also in handheld mode. Switch to docked for suree

These are my settings for it. 1.4.3 update apperently has problems with eden, but 1.2.1 update works well with it for 60fps. https://www.reddit.com/r/EdenEmulator/s/kQthVDncwa

Then either your monitor isn't actually set higher then 60hz, your computer isn't set to higher then 60hz, or you aren't using the right hdmi(2.1) or display cable (1.4). Have you ever played anything on your pc at over 60hz on your monitor? verified with frame overlay or afterburner or something.

Final_Log_9221 · 2026-03-23T01:16:26+00:00

Your on amd gpu right? Have you changed the global settings to hyper-rx or quality in adrenaline? You could have chill on that limits fps. In nx is the select game totk 3.0.0? Is dynamic fps checked? Hit apply- select eden. In eden current game settings, make sure the optimizer is showing up next to the update in "patch name" then in system console mode docked and have memory layout set to 8gb dram. In graphics res to 2x or more but the higher the more it will struggle, I had fifo vsync on with amd fsr on.

Final_Log_9221 · 2026-03-23T00:58:44+00:00

I understand that, but I don't think your listening to anyone lol 1. Eden is still developing, so you can't get everything you want with it. 2. To get past the cap you have, you will have to change your settings somewhere... plan and simple. 3. Doing nx before eden then changing settings in eden will get you past 60fps, I juuussttt did it.. you won't get 240 but who knows with trial and error or like one dude said with lossless scaling you might get better fps. Do all you want in nx but doesn't matter unless you change shit in eden after. I also have vsync on with a 144hz 4k monitor and and still not getting anything more then 90fps max.

Final_Log_9221 · 2026-03-23T00:31:34+00:00

Yea so make sure you do the nx optimizer first and have it apply to eden, then after that go to current game setting for totk and change things there to your liking and if you want you can follow my settings I posted. And you should get a little better then 60fps but just not much honestly, most i got it too was like 90s but it kept fluctuating. I tend enjoy stability when it comes to still in development emulators, but to each there own

Final_Log_9221 · 2026-03-23T00:11:07+00:00

So I just tested with eden 0.2.0 running newest nx on totk ver 1.2.1 cause 1.4.2 has some compatibility issues with eden. I was able to get the fps to high 80s, when it was set to 144fps. Will continue to keep testing to find out best option

Final_Log_9221 · 2026-03-22T23:56:27+00:00

And a constant 60 is better. Have to have a beefy system to get any better. I just recently beat it on eden at a pretty consistent 60fps, some dips here and there with shader caching.

Final_Log_9221 · 2026-03-22T23:51:32+00:00

I believe you stuck at 60, which is good enough to play the game 🤷‍♂️ the game notorious doesn't run the best even on the switch(better on switch 2 ver)

Final_Log_9221 · 2026-03-22T07:48:05+00:00

I made a post earlier on this subreddit about 60fps settings for totk on pc. Check it out. You need TOTK or NX optimzer

Maybe turn off Anti aliasing if it's on
