Not just play it, but play it better than on a switch. The games run better and can run at higher resolutions
Lol. I can't believe this so I will try it just to make sure you're wrong. But if it's true..... more people need to know about it.
So BotW can play pretty well on Steam Deck now, TOTK on the other hand… it’s a mixed bag. Requires a lot of tweaking and even then you’ll see dips into the 20s for FPS and the occasional stutter. It’s playable, just not smooth. That said, the OG switch only performs just marginally better with the OLED Switch being the best of the three.
This is also coming from someone who has done a lot of tweaking for ToTK to make it work to a satisfactory level. There may have been some further developments in the past couple months, I haven’t tried since the start of the year
Having played TOTK on both the deck and on a bigger brother Linux desktop, it's for sure better on a machine that can has a reasonable, dedicated GPU. It's passable on the deck, enjoyable on the desktop.
