BOTW 4K HD Texture Pack (v1.1) — Compatibility Notes

Pack: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild — 4k Texture Pack v1.1 (HDPacks.com, ~17.7 GiB — full terrain + vegetation overhaul vs v1.0)

Requirements

• Game update 1.6.0 (DLC optional, recommended)
• Switch prod.keys + firmware
• Emulator with 8 GB extended DRAM

Critical setting — REQUIRED

Without this, the game crashes on loading screens (including shrine entry):

• Ryujinx: Options → Settings → System → Use alternative memory layout
• Yuzu: Emulation → Configure → System → Unsafe extended memory layout (8GB DRAM)

Install

1. Extract the 4kTextures folder into the game's mod directory: …\Ryujinx\mods\contents\01007EF00011E000\4kTextures (the 4kTextures folder goes directly there — no extra nested folder)
2. Remove any older version (e.g. v1.0). v1.1 replaces it — do not stack both.

Notes

• The full 17.7 GiB download already bundles all bug-fix patches up to 2024-12-18. The separate 310 MiB "Patch Only" is for people who grabbed v1.1 before that date — it strips a bad Resource Size Table (RSTB) that crashed the loading screen on stock 8 GB Ryujinx.
• The author states v1.1 was "minimally tested" at release.

Verified

• Emulator: Ryujinx Roofer Edition v1.1.2
• Game update: 1.6.0
• Shrine / loading-screen transition: no crash
• FPS: 80–90
