One of my best gaming memories was picking up my Nintendo Switch and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild at midnight on launch day. While I didn’t go to the midnight release for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, I have been eagerly looking forward to this. As a primary Switch gamer, I am all good to go, but many do not have a Switch and may be hoping they can play Tears of the Kingdom on PC.
The Legend of Zelda series has always been one of Nintendo’s most iconic, and usually exclusive to Nintendo consoles. Fans are able to circumvent this by emulating on the game on various other platforms. Breath of the Wild was notably emulated on PC and Steam Deck, so this has convinced players they can run the newest Zelda on PC.

Is Zelda Tears of the Kingdom playable on PC?
Zelda Tears of the Kingdom is an exclusive title developed by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch, and as of now, there are no official plans to release the game on PC, and it likely never will be. However, fans have leaked the game and used a ROM file to emulate Tears of Kingdom on PC.

However, this is not the official way to play Tears of the Kingdom and should only be done at your own risk. I’d recommend playing Tears of the Kingdom as it should be on the Switch. Those who do not own this console must either emulate the game illegally, purchase a Nintendo Switch, or do without. Those looking to emulate can mod or increase visuals, but run the risk of using pirated software.
