What's the problem with your PC? I've been playing TotK on PC since before it launched and, after the rock-texture problem was fixed, high framerate and 4K work just fine. There's even a TotK mod manager now. Way better than my wife's experience on Switch.

I considered this, but I decided that the 100% confidence I had in a bug-free-experience (including crashes and risk of save-game loss) on the native hardware was worth the better experience I was likely to have at a higher risk playing on the MacBook M1 Ultra at 4k. I don't really regret it. My TV added "simulated HDR" and I played with frame-smoothing on for a simulated 120FPS. Yes there was latency but in this game it never mattered. Not even a little bit. I enjoyed every one of the 175 hours I spent in TOTK.

To each his own I suppose, but a crash every twenty or thirty hours is, to me, a fair trade for never having frame slowdown. Save-game loss is a non-thing. Even if you managed to kill the emulator while it was saving, every save is a separate file so you'd only lose the time since your last auto-save.

I guess I still see announcements of updates around bugs and edge cases. I'd rather be patient and wait for some thousands of other people to stumble across bugs for a while to minimize my chances of frustration. For video games, I'm only willing to do so much work for the experience. There are other domains where I'm happy to charge in first to file bug reports, but games aren't one. I assume I'll enjoy ToTK just as much next year or the year after, and even more so if I don't have to deal with any glitches.
