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.
