Next May 12 the new Zeldathe second part of Breath of the Wild And what does it practically mean? the culmination of a console that continues to set sales records and that many believe that, with its current hardware, it will be impossible for it to move Tears of the Kingdom as a legend of that category deserves. So the best thing in this case is, resort to emulation?
On PC and with better quality
This is the debate that has taken place in recent weeks where some streamers have offered their vision of what they expect from the Nintendo game, already announcing that they are not going to settle for showing the title on a Switch more and more limited but they prefer it to look good, with 2K resolutions, better graphic effects and higher frame rate per second thanks to the power of a PC.
This has caused an intense anger where those who said such things were accused of pirates and irresponsible for promoting (bad) practices that we already thought banished. Even so, not everything is black or white and there are nuances that you should know if your intention is to buy the new The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom but also enjoy a higher quality thanks to an emulated version on your computer.
The first thing to say is that the current Spanish legislation contemplates and allows a “person to make a copy of a work for private use non-profit as long as they have had legitimate access to the original”, in such a way that the condition that enables us to carry out this type of use is clearly specified.
What is the scope of that copy?
Now that you bought the new one The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom does not mean that you can do with it and with the copy what you want, but there are a series of limitations that have different legal consequences. And the main one is profit. If you intend to earn money with the activity of playing with that private copy, either by reselling it to a third party or by using it to create content that you will later monetize and obtain financial gain, then things get complicated because legal consequences could arise within the scope penal.
Use of a private copy of The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom in an emulator is a practice that may seem better or worse to others but that, if it occurs within the scope of our home and is not for profit or advertising, is protected by that right that we acquire when buying in the store an original Nintendo game. So when you are enjoying in Yuzu better graphics, special effects or lighting and a greater fluidity of fpshave no regrets… unless you don’t have the cartridge on the shelf or a legitimate copy activated within the Japanese eShop.
As long as that is so, and you acquire The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom rightfully, every time you turn on Yuzu you will not be committing any crime. They won’t chase you.
