=== Dumping binaries (executable files) ===
Binaries in Switch titles are stores in a different section known as 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.
