Here’s a quick guide to understanding and applying The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Update Ver. 1.6.0 (often referred to as “160” in shorthand).
Performance optimizations
In the world of emulation, "work" was a loaded word. To the average user, it meant 'does it boot?' To Elias, the lead dev for the Cemu fork project, "work" meant the Holy Grail: The Breath of the Wild 1.6.0 Update.
Functionality: Unlike many VR adaptations, this mode allows the entire game to be played in VR using existing save data. It utilizes the Switch's gyro sensors for camera control, though cutscenes remain in standard 2D.
Recommendation for Cemu users: Stick with 1.5.0. Update 1.6.0 offers zero performance gains, breaks almost every popular mod, and the only new feature (horse transfer) requires a real Switch and a copy of Tears of the Kingdom. Emulated save files cannot trigger the transfer anyway.
