The subreddit, known as r/NewYuzuPiracy, had become a hub for discussions related to modding Tears of the Kingdom and pirating the game. However, its increasing prominence made it a target for enforcement actions.
Nintendo has long maintained a strict stance against emulators, earning a reputation for its firm approach. The company firmly believes that emulators undermine its intellectual property and has consistently taken legal action against them. While some fans face the challenge of limited access to retro titles without the necessary console, the risks associated with piracy and emulation often outweigh the benefits. Purchasing retro gaming hardware and games can be expensive, and being caught engaging in piracy can result in serious legal consequences.
