Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Wu Yanzu in South China for the delivery of clues! CTOnews.com May 8 news, recently, "Legend of Zelda: tears of the Kingdom" sneaked online, Nintendo also immediately took action, asking various platforms to remove videos, live broadcasts and screenshots related to the stolen content of "tears of the Kingdom".

May be affected by this, Nintendo recently launched another copyright protection campaign, issued a notice to Lockpick off the shelves. Lockpick is a Switch homemade project that allows users to "export" their digital keys from their Switch hosts and load them into simulators such as Ryujinx and Yuzu on PC.

Nintendo believes that Lockpick can bypass the protection of Switch hosts and encourage users to play pirated Switch games on modified hosts or other systems. Ironically, many users point out that Lockpick is currently the only legal way to simulate Switch games because it only allows users to transfer digital rights from the host to another platform, such as PC. After turning off Lockpick, Nintendo may force emulator users to look for pirated keys in the future.

Although Lockpick is still available on GitHub, GitHub may soon comply with the removal request.

At the same time, Nintendo's actions have scared the Skyline team to stop development work to avoid any potential legal problems. Skyline is a well-known Switch simulator on the Android platform, and the Skyline team announced on Discord that they will stop developing the simulator. Although the simulator itself is not illegal, the team points out that it is in a position of potential copyright infringement of Nintendo.

The Skyline team said that the emulator itself was legal and that they would not delete the code base or software version. However, due to the cessation of development, there will not be any performance or compatibility improvements in the future.

However, CTOnews.com noted that at present, Ryujinx, the PC-side Switch simulator, has made it clear that it will not stop development, while Yuzu has not issued a relevant statement. Legend of Zelda: tears of the Kingdom is known to run at 4K / 60 frame rate on Yuzu and Ryujinx simulators, but requires a high configuration of PC.
