Yep. Anything the switch can do, the steamdeck can do (probably better).

Can you emulate switch games on a Deck?

of course, how have you not heard about yuzu getting the boot? emulators for switch have been around almost since it came out.

I know what yuzu is, I’m questioning if a deck is powerful enough to run the games with reasonable performance.

Zelda isn’t available on the Steam deck.

Edit: at least not legally, and without jumping through hoops.

Nope, I keep coming back. New Zelda is great. My kids are really into it too right now!

I really disliked breath of the wild. Especially how empty it feels and how bad it looks, different strokes I guess.

How bad it looks? That game was pure art, it was like living in a painting.

It looks dated, the grass without textures looks ugly and the faces look plain, and even with all those compromises the game can’t run at stable 30 FPS, cmon

It’s not a Zelda. I wish they hadn’t destroyed the franchise by removing the main mechanic, but they wouldn’t have been able to sell such a mid game without the draw of the franchise.

I would far rather have far fewer side quests with actual content instead of “collect 10 crickets” “collect 10 lizards.” I’d rather be in the dungeons solving puzzles than wandering around for tens of minutes looking for temples. I’d rather spend more time shooting arrows than looking for arrows.

If those are your complaints, I’m genuinely confused about what you think “real” Zelda games are. Zelda has always been so much more than dungeon crawling, but it seems like that’s all you care about. Plenty of other Zelda games had things that weren’t just dungeons (like horse riding, fishing, mini games, talking to characters, shopping, mini puzzles, etc.) and involved a fair bit of wandering and searching. Once you actually play BOTW and TOTK you don’t even really need to bother looking for arrows anymore, they’re fucking everywhere and you can buy them all over the place.

Sounds like you just aren’t a fan of Zelda, which is fine. But your claim that the recent games destroyed anything is just plain silly.

Like stopped using it? No I still do. Looking forward to its successor though.

Me, I sold it to my friend and bought a steam deck

The switch walked so the deck could run.

The steam deck runs switch games better anyways I’m told?

Eeeeehhh does a “more or less” gesture with a hand

I tested for a bit. Some games yeah. Others not really. The Zeldas are about the only things from the Switch that I really miss and whether you use Suyu or RyujiNX, Tears of the Kingdom runs like shit. Like pretty much unplayable.

Gonna give it a shot when Prime 4 drops though.

Nope, I still love to play it in bed (I’ve never played it docked since it was the handheld aspect that drew me) and just relax
