Zelda: Breath of the Wild

A new The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 4K texture pack was released online today, improving every texture in the game.

The pack, which can be downloaded from Nexus Mods, also features fonts, inventory, icons improvements as well as terrain improvements obtained with some workaround. As such, they are only included in the 1.1 version of the pack, which should be considered in early access for now. As opposed to most of the mods available for the game, this new texture pack only works with the Switch release, and so requires either a recent build of Yuzu with 8GB of extended memory or a custom version of Ryujinx available here.

With a gorgeous world filled with seemingly infinite possibilities, it’s impossible not to recommend The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The long delays and wait has resulted in an incredibly polished freeform experience unlike any open world game I’ve ever played before. Even after making the credits roll, I know there are shrines and side quests out there still waiting for me – and I can’t wait to go back.
