All Wii U mods should work on both the console and Cemu, but most Switch mods have format differences and aren't cross-compatible with the Wii U version of the game.

=== Dumping the game files (Cemu) ===
=== Setting up SDCafiine ===
To play BotW on Cemu, you'll need to dump the game files from the console to your computer using [http://compat.cemu.info/wiki/Getting_Started#Dumping_game_files this guide]. BotW's Title ID is <code>0005000E101C9400</code> for the US version, and <code>0005000E101C9500</code> for the EU version. You can then use Cemu to run the <code>U-King.rpx</code>file to play the game.
SDCafiine is a Wii U homebrew program that will load modded game files from your SD card.
 
# Download the latest stable release of SDCafiine (not a "nightly" version) from [https://github.com/Maschell/SDCafiine/releases here].
# Extract the contents of the .zip into the root of your SD card.
# Create a new folder in the root of your SD Card, named <code>sdcafiine</code>.
# Within that folder, create a new folder with the name of your game's Title ID. The JP version of BotW uses <code>00050000101C9300</code>, the US version uses <code>00050000101C9400</code>, and the EU version uses <code>00050000101C9500</code>.
# Within that folder, you can create any number of folders named after the mods you want to use. When you boot the game, a menu will appear allowing you to select one to use.
# Inside each of those folders, create a folder named <code>content</code>. Your mod files will go in here. (Mods will often include a <code>content</code> folder already to make things clear.)
 
To use mods, you just need to select the SDCafiine option from the Homebrew Launcher, then boot your game immediately afterwards.
