Emulation works so flawlessly on Deck. I love the amount of flexibility the device has compared to the Switch. After I finish Tears of the Kingdom, I plan on going back and playing through Ocarina of Time using Ship of Harkinian on my Steam Deck.
There was a post I saved from somewhere that went through setting up emu deck and some hi def textures that was super helpful. I’ll try to post the link if I can find it. (It’s on my todo list!)
I'd consider it for older games, but I just don't want to start trying to emulate the Switch games just yet. I've hacked my 3DS and have tried to emulate WiiU games on the Deck, but I'm not as experienced with that process and I just couldn't get it to work. I still have a WiiU, so I can play the games I want to play on that console, but yeah it would be cool to have a library of the older Zelda games. The only one I have on the Deck now is one of the Oracle games lol.
Sounds like you need to try out Emudeck! You have to use desktop mode to set it up, but it's as simple as downloading the installer, moving it to your desktop, and double clicking it. Then you can set up all your games really easily and import them with the Steam ROM Manager.
Absolutely, I've decided to go through the entirety of the series (in no particular order) of the ones I haven't played, yet. Right now on Oracle of Ages. Twilight Princess HD looks and works immaculate with Cemu!
