Is the The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom 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.

TotK Native: Tears of the Kingdom runs natively on Android handhelds

AurelioB's TotK Native 1.0.0 runs The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (v1.4.3) natively on Android handhelds with Adreno GPUs. It isn't an emulator: setup prepares the game's own code on your device from your own dump, and a bundled Turnip Vulkan driver draws it. The creator's own tests show 30 fps on the AYN Thor's Balanced profile, while an AYN Odin 3 on its 60 fps profile averaged 42 to 60 fps depending on the area. The Retroid Pocket Duo is the third tested device, and dual-screen handhelds get a second-screen companion. It joins valentderah's TotK Recomp on Windows and OJZen's Zelda-Mobile on Apple devices. There's no DLC, online or amiibo support.
