SwitchWaker runs The Wind Waker (GameCube) natively on a Switch with custom firmware: the decompiled game, on Aurora. No emulation. You need your own disc of the game.

Version 1.0.2 is a hotfix for 1.0.1.

Fixed

  • The cannons of the Eye Reefs and the lookout platforms were already destroyed after Forsaken Fortress 2, and their chests never appeared (#42). The wall cannons read their settings wrongly and took a flag the story sets around Forsaken Fortress 2 as their own "destroyed" flag, so they blew up as soon as you came near. They are back now: they fire at you, and destroying them gives the chest (Treasure Charts, Pieces of Heart...). Your save is fine, nothing to redo. Thanks to aletattoo69 for the report and the videos.
  • The X marks of treasure charts and Triforce charts were in the wrong place, off the chart or missing (#40). Only the mark was wrong: the treasure is where the game always put it. Thanks to gptnooui for the report.

Install / update

Pick the download for your disc:

Your disc Download Disc image
USA (GZLE01, revision 0) SwitchWaker-v1.0.2-switch.zip sdmc:/switch/switchwaker/GZLE01.iso
Europe (GZLP01, revision 0) SwitchWaker-v1.0.2-switch-eur.zip sdmc:/switch/switchwaker/GZLP01.iso
  • Updating from 1.0.0 or 1.0.1: the game offers the update at the title screen (or options menu (Minus) > Sistema).
  • Updating from 0.5.0 or older: copy the zip's switch folder over the old one. Your disc, saves, settings and the HOME-screen icon stay as they are.
  • New install: copy the zip's switch folder to the root of the SD card and put your disc image (uncompressed .iso) at the path above. Details: INSTALL.md.
  • One region per SD card: both downloads install sdmc:/switch/switchwaker/switchwaker.nro.

Known issues

  • "Instant text" does not speed up the text of some cutscenes (for example the arrival on Outset Island).
  • The disc's videos (the title screen's attract video and the ending video) do not play yet.
  • Docked at 60 fps the frame rate can still drop to 30 in heavy scenes.
