## What it is
A VR mod/hook that adds a PC VR mode to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild running on the Cemu emulator. It provides stereo rendering with 6DOF roomscale tracking, motion-controlled hands and weapons, and works with any OpenXR headset.

## Use cases
- play Breath of the Wild in VR on PC
- add roomscale 6DOF VR support to a Wii U emulator game
- use motion controls to wield weapons in BotW
- run BotW on an OpenXR headset like Quest or Index
- play BotW in first-person VR with full hand tracking
- mod Cemu games with VR support without altering game data

## When to choose
- you own a legal Wii U copy of BotW and a Windows gaming PC with a strong single-threaded CPU
- you want full stereo 6DOF VR with hands and motion controls rather than simple screen projection
- you need compatibility with other BotW gameplay mods

## When to avoid
- you play on Linux or macOS - it only works on Windows, even under Wine/Proton
- your Cemu setup cannot already run the game at 60FPS or higher
- you need comfort features like left-handed mode or a fully polished, bug-free experience
