What is ultratears?
UltraTears builds a native version of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (version 1.4.3) for Windows, Linux and the Steam Deck from your own copy of the game. It is not an emulator: the game's code is translated to native code ahead of time, and its shaders and textures are prepared when the game is built, not while you play.
