The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Gets Unofficial Android Port

Developer mamcjr has released BOTWRecompAndroid, an unofficial Android port of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild based on the Nintendo Switch version.

The developer used work from LAS Recomp, a project to port the Link’s Awakening remake.

The mobile version supports touch controls, external gamepads, and gyro aiming. Players can change the resolution and aspect ratio, install mods, and transfer save files. The port also offers a 60 FPS mode, though not all smartphones will be able to reach that frame rate.

Running the port requires Android 11 or later, a 64-bit ARM processor, Vulkan-compatible graphics, and unpacked files from the player’s own Switch copy of the game.
