For most players, the version number remains or 1.6.0 depending on their region and whether they own the base game+DLC digitally or the repackaged cartridge.

Let’s break down exactly what the refers to, what it actually contains, and why this specific version number is critical for Wii U emulation (Cemu) and Switch preservationists. The Short Answer: What is the 1.6.0 Update? Version 1.6.0 (displayed as "1.6.0" or "160" in shorthand) is NOT a new gameplay update. It was a minor stability patch released by Nintendo in November 2019 , coinciding with the launch of the standalone Breath of the Wild + Expansion Pass physical cartridge (the "Complete Edition").

So, what is "Version 160"? Is it a new patch? A mod? A leaked build?
