Ask yourself:
I scraped discussions from Reddit, GBAtemp, and the Cemu forums regarding “botw update 160 work”. The consensus:
“1.6.0 is boring but reliable. It doesn’t add anything exciting, but it makes the game run like a Swiss watch on Switch. On Cemu, it’s fine if you know what you’re doing.” – u/Hylian_Engineer
“Lost my infinite jump, but my Korok Forest stopped dropping to 15 FPS. Worth it.” – SwitchLiteOwner99
“Don’t use 1.6.0 on Cemu if you’re running a 60 FPS mod with 4K shadows. It’ll desync cutscenes. Stick to 1.5.0.” – CemuModder_2024 botw update 160 work

Yes, and this is where the keyword becomes straightforward.
Yuzu and Ryujinx have supported 1.6.0 since the update dropped. Because these emulators run the Switch OS environment, they treat 1.6.0 exactly like a real Switch.

Yuzu verdict: Works perfectly, but you must use mods built specifically for 1.6.0.
