TotK Native 1.0.0

3 hours ago

The first release of TotK Native: The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom 1.4.3 running natively on Android handhelds with an Adreno GPU. No game files are included: the app builds everything game-specific on your device from your own legally dumped copy of the game.

  • Built from commit edc526df8c95 (this tag).

Requirements

  • Android 13 or newer, arm64, an Adreno GPU (the app ships the Mesa Turnip driver)
  • About 40 GB free during setup (about 19 GB after)
  • Your own game dump, version 1.4.3: either the decrypted RomFS + ExeFS, or the base game (XCI/NSP) + the 1.4.3 update NSP + prod.keys

Highlights

  • On-device setup from either route, with every input checked against the pinned 1.4.3 hashes
  • Pre-game menu with graphics presets, per-setting explanations and illustrations, and a default profile picked for your chip
  • Dual-screen companion (map, inventory, equip and eat from the second screen) on devices with a built-in second display
  • Saves: export, import (JKSV, Checkpoint, Ryujinx, yuzu), automatic backups and an optional synced save folder
  • Game data in private storage, on an SD card or in a folder you choose

Tested devices

Device Chip Default profile Measured
AYN Thor QCS8550 (Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 class) Balanced, 30 fps 30 fps in Hateno, Lookout Landing, Rotsumamu Shrine
AYN Odin 3 CQ8725S (Snapdragon 8 Elite class) 60 fps 60 at Rotsumamu Shrine; 42–51 average in Hateno and Lookout Landing (CPU clocks were capped during the test)
Retroid Pocket Duo CQ7790S (Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 class) Light, 30 fps, 960 × 540 28–30 fps, some hitches in busy areas

Full numbers and method: docs/benchmarks/baseline-1.0.0.md. Other Adreno devices start on the Light profile and are untested.

Known limitations

  • Game version 1.4.3 only; no DLC, online features or amiibo
  • Shaders the shared list does not cover are translated while playing, which can stutter the first time a new place is seen
  • Frame generation and the native HUD are experimental and off by default
  • From the second screen, battery-recharging materials and fusing Zonai devices to arrows are not available yet
  • Uninstalling the app removes your saves: export them first
