Dump the game files from the console to your computer using [https://gbatemp.net/threads/ddd-wiiu-title-dumper.418492/ ddd]. If any add-on-content (aoc) is installed, that will be dumped at the same time.
The easiest method for dumping BOTW in a manner compatible with tools like Cemu and BCML is to use Dumpling.
 
=== Prerequisites ===
* BOTW 1.5.0 on your Wii U
* Modded Wii U with Homebrew Launcher
 
=== Dumping your game files ===
# Download the latest release of Dumpling from [https://github.com/emiyl/dumpling/releases here].
# Extract the ZIP to the root of your SD card.
# Before running Dumpling, disable auto power off and standby on your Wii U.
# Insert any USB devices or game discs you’d like to use in the dump process.
# Open Dumpling from the Homebrew Launcher.
# Select "Dump digital games" or "Dump a game disc" as appropriate.
# Select BOTW using the (A) button and then press (START) (selection N/A if using a disc). Make sure to check the boxes for base game, update, and (if applicable) DLC.
# Set the dump destination.
# Select (START) to begin dumping (which can take a ''very'' long time).
# Once finished, you can put the SD card into your PC and, if desired, copy the files onto your hard drive for use with modding tools or whatever else.

Dump the game files directly to your SD card using nxdumptool. Update data can only be processed if the base game is available, because they share the same filesystem. DLCs don't, so they have to be dumped separately.

'''Warning''': Running homebrew on the Switch can get you banned from Nintendo online services if you aren't careful. If you do not want to leave any traces, turn on airplane mode, back up your NAND '''before running any homebrew''' and do not ever go online before you have restored the backup.
'''Warning''': If you misbehave (piracy, online cheating or anything equally stupid), you might get banned from Nintendo online services. If you do not want to leave any traces, turn on airplane mode, back up your eMMC '''before running any homebrew''' and do not ever go online before you have restored the backup.

When you're done, you'll be able to find the output dumps in <code>sdmc:/switch/nxdumptool/RomFS</code>.

=== Dumping binaries (executable files) ===
Executables in Switch titles are stored in a different section known as the ExeFS, which is only available in base games and updates. Unlike RomFS data, ExeFS data isn't shared between the update and its base game.
These files can also be dumped using nxdumptool.
* On your Switch, open nxdumptool. Afterwards:
*# '''If you have the gamecard''': Select <code>Dump gamecard content</code>.
*# '''If you have the eShop version''': Select <code>Dump SD card / eMMC content</code>, then select BotW.
* Select <code>ExeFS options</code>.
* Highlight the <code>Use update</code> option and use the left/right buttons to cycle through the available updates for the game.
*# '''If you have no available updates''', this option won't appear. You'll only be able to dump the  binaries from the non-updated base game (which is the same to just leaving this option set to <code>No</code>).
*# Updates use <code>01007EF00011E800</code> as their ID. v786432 corresponds to BotW v1.6.0 update.
* Select <code>ExeFS section data dump</code> and wait for the process to finish. This will dump the binaries from the selected update to the inserted SD card.
When you're done, you'll be able to find the output dump in <code>sdmc:/switch/nxdumptool/ExeFS</code>.
