Getting Started

This guide will walk through installing and setting up TKMM.

To learn how to install and merge mods, check out the Using Mods guide.

Installation

On the downloads page, locate and download the TKMM Launcher and .NET Runtime for your operating system.

When the downloads have completed, open the .NET Runtime installer and follow the prompts to completion.

Once the .NET Runtime has finished installing, extract the TKMM Launcher zip file and run the contained executable.

The following window will open.

Click Install to begin the installation process.

Important

The TKMM installer requires a stable internet connection.

When the installation completes, click Launch to open TKMM.

Setup

When TKMM first starts, you will most likely be asked to configure your game path.

This field contains the path to your Tears of the Kingdom RomFS game dump.

RomFS means Read-Only Memory File System, it is all of the files extracted from the game (not a NSP or XCI).

If you do not already have a RomFS dump, please follow this guide from zeldamods.org to legally obtain one.

Important

When dumping your copy of the game, make sure you include the 1.1.0 update or later. 1.0.0 is not supported by TKMM.

Once you have dumped your copy of the game's romfs, use the ... button to browse to its location.

When the game path is set correctly the field will turn green.

Note

TKMM will output mods for the same version as the provided game dump.

For example, if you are playing on v1.1.2, make sure your game dump is for v1.1.2 as well.
