Developers and testers of TOTK Recomp, an unofficial PC project for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, demonstrated it running on a laptop with an Intel Core i7-1255U processor and an NVIDIA GeForce MX550 with 2GB of video memory, according to a November 11, 2026, report by Gamersky.
The demonstration reportedly held a steady 30 frames per second in open-world scenes, without obvious frame drops or stuttering. The testers attributed the result to graphics and memory-management changes, including adjusted vertex buffers and precompiled shaders. They said the test did not use external upscaling or frame-generation tools.
Unlike emulators such as Yuzu and Ryujinx, TOTK Recomp converts the Switch game executable into native x86-64 code rather than translating it during play. Gamersky reported that an earlier project version had fallen to 15 FPS on some devices with 4GB mobile graphics cards. Those earlier results involved different hardware and a different version, so they are not a direct comparison with the MX550 demonstration.
TOTK Recomp is not an official or Nintendo-authorised PC release. The reported performance applies to the demonstrated hardware and project version, not necessarily to other devices.
