To play BotW on Cemu, you'll need to [[Help:Dumping games\|dump the game files]] from the console to your computer.

	=== ~~Installing the DLC~~ ===		=== Adding your game path ===
	If you ~~dumped the game~~'~~s add-on content (aoc) files~~, ~~follow [http:~~//~~compat~~.~~cemu.info~~/~~wiki~~/~~Tutorial:How_to_install_a_DLC this guide] to install them in~~ Cemu.		Once you're in Cemu, head to <code>Options > General Settings</code> at the top bar, a new window will open. At the bottom of it you will see an <code>Add</code> button, click on it to add your game path.
			This should look something like <code>D:/Games/Wii U</code> (put your games from the Dumpling folder here), and Cemu will automatically get all your games, updates and DLCs from there.

	Note: ~~This is no longer required if you use~~ Cemu 2.1+, the ~~emulator~~ will ~~simply retrieve~~ the ~~update~~ and DLC ~~from your~~ game ~~path~~.		Note: On older versions (before Cemu 2.1), you have to install the update and DLC.
			To do so, navigate to <code>File > install game title, update or DLC</code> at the top bar, it will open the explorer. Head to <code>Dumpling/Updates/The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild/meta</code> and select the meta.xml file. Follow the same processus for the DLC that should be at <code>Dumpling/DLCs/The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild/meta</code>.
			If this has been done correctly, you should now see that Breath of the Wild is on version 1.5.0 and DLC on version 3.0 at the bottom right of the title screen in game.
