Zelda BotW in 8K Via CEMU With Reshade Raytracing Effects is a Dream Come True

A freshly-released Zelda BotW video shows off the Switch title running on PC through the CEMU emulator in 8K resolution, and it's truly looking astonishing.

Despite originally being a Nintendo Switch championship, The Fable of Zelda: Breath of the Wild remains one of the most visually appealing games to appointment. Although running on mediocre hardware, the game's art management really makes the latest Zelda installment shine on Nintendo's hybrid platform.

We've already seen how stunning the already impressive title can look emulated on PC, simply this freshly-released video of the game running in 8K resolution on an NVIDIA RTX 3090 is truly something else.

Courtesy of YouTube channel 'Digital Dreams', the video shows Breath of the Wild running on PC via the popular Wii U CEMU emulator with Revolvere'south 'REVO ReShade REDUX' shader. In turn, this shader uses Pascal Gilcher's impressive 'Screen-Space Ray Traced Global Illumination' shader in order to summate software-based screen-space ray-tracing effects. Truly, the result is a dream come truthful for Zelda fans. Unfortunately, getting to run Breath of the Wild with this kind of visual fidelity isn't for anybody and requires quite the setup.
