Is there a PC port of

Yes. Breath of the Wild (Switch) statically recompiled to run natively on Android by mamcjr. It's playable now, and it runs natively on PC rather than through an emulator.

Is the The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild PC port an emulator?

No. It's a native build of the game's code for PC (a decompilation, static recompilation or native port), so it runs like a PC game.

ZELDA: BREATH OF THE WILD NOW RUNS NATIVELY ON ANDROID PHONES IN A NEW SWITCH RECOMP

Q: Do I need my own copy of

Yes. Your own legally dumped Breath of the Wild (Switch 1.0.0, 1.6.0 or 1.8.2, extracted exefs and romfs) and a recent Android phone, ideally Adreno 8xx. No game files are included.

Breath of the Wild (Switch) statically recompiled to run natively on Android

mamcjr's BOTWRecompAndroid turns the Switch version of Breath of the Wild (1.0.0, 1.6.0 and 1.8.2) into native Android code, with the game's NVN graphics translated to Vulkan. It isn't an emulator. It's built on peiikai's LAS Recomp engine (the Link's Awakening recompilation) and the same developer's LASRecompAndroid. On a POCO F7 Ultra it plays from the title screen into the open world with saves, at 30 fps, or around 40 to 47 fps on 1.8.2 with the Turnip driver. It has touch controls, controller support, FSR 1 upscaling and widescreen. It's a beta tested on one phone. Setting it up compiles the game code on the phone, which hasn't been timed yet. The developer says it was made almost entirely with Claude Code, with a human directing and testing. It follows the BotW recomps for iPhone and Windows covered here this month.
