See Breath of the Wild modded to run in first-person

Modders have done some amazing (and deeply strange) things with Breath of the Wild's emulation. Now you can even play it in first-person at 60 frames-per-second in whatever resolution you like. As you can see in the video by BSoD Gaming above, the viewpoint smoothly switches to third-person when you climb, swim, or lock-on to an enemy, though you can also perform attacks in first-person.

This is Breath of the Wild running in the Cemu emulator, which is available for consoles as well as PC (though it demands one of the best graphics cards). Other modders have used it to alter aspects of the game like removing rain, changing the way weapon degradation works, or getting rid of the cel-shading to give it a very different look.

Here's the mod's official page.

Jody's first computer was a Commodore 64, so he remembers having to use a code wheel to play Pool of Radiance. A former music journalist who interviewed everyone from Giorgio Moroder to Trent Reznor, Jody also co-hosted Australia's first radio show about videogames, Zed Games. He's written for Rock Paper Shotgun, The Big Issue, GamesRadar, Zam, Glixel, Five Out of Ten Magazine, and Playboy.com, whose cheques with the bunny logo made for fun conversations at the bank. Jody's first article for PC Gamer was about the audio of Alien Isolation, published in 2015, and since then he's written about why Silent Hill belongs on PC, why Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale is the best fantasy shopkeeper tycoon game, and how weird Lost Ark can get. Jody edited PC Gamer Indie from 2017 to 2018, and he eventually lived up to his promise to play every Warhammer videogame.
