A fan of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom managed to get the game running on PS Vita by using an open-source game streaming service. The player demonstrates The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom being playable on PS Vita by visiting New Serenne Stable, one of the first locations Link may head to after descending to Hyrule.
In Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Link may head to any region of Hyrule after completing the Closed Door quest. Players are recommended to head into Central Hyrule and begin the search for Zelda, however. By heading to Lookout Landing and helping Purah, Link will learn about Zelda's last known sightings and points of interest around Hyrule. Eventually, Link may reunite with Impa and search for geoglyphs that grant insight about Zelda following her disappearance in the ruins underneath Hyrule Castle. One of the first geoglyphs are located near New Serenne Stable, which is just outside of Central Hyrule.
Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom player Oriori managed to play the game on their PS Vita handheld by using the Moonlight streaming service. Oriori emulated the game with the Yuzu Nintendo Switch emulator and proceeded to play it with Moonlight by using homebrew software on the PS Vita. The user demonstrates Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's performance on PS Vita by heading to New Serenne Stable, talking to NPCs, and exploring the field near the Impa questline's first geoglyph.
Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is being streamed from a high-end gaming PC through gigabit Wi-Fi, allowing the game to stream at twice its native resolution according to Oriori. Specifically, Oriori's PC runs with a RTX 3090 Ti graphics card and an Intel 10900K processor. The game appears to be playable without graphical issues, but some users are questioning the streaming service's input lag while playing on PS Vita.
The latest Zelda title is playable with a clear resolution on PS Vita through Moonlight, but some fans believe that the input lag may damper the experience when compared to running the game natively on Nintendo Switch. The PC hardware required to stream the game onto another device may be too costly for some. In addition, emulator compatibility with potential Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom DLC remains to be seen.
More improvements to cloud streaming technology and services may be needed before the title can be streamed with very low input lag. The Nintendo Switch may be lacking processing and graphical power for various titles, but Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom appears to be one of the most optimized games on the platform yet. Cloud streaming on Nintendo Switch still remains an option for more demanding titles as well.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is available now for Nintendo Switch.
