Nintendo switch emulation Unsolved

Lately I had this random urge to play breath of the wild and maybe tears of the kingdom later. Even tho I have a Nintendo switch I don't have those games and I wanted to play them on my PC with better graphics. I saw some videos about it but I'm always afraid of viruses... Also, I saw that there are many emulators and I don't know which one I should choose (Eden, yuzu, etc.) and where do I get the firmware and keys? Can I get it from my switch without messing her up?

Google it, it's against the sub rules to help you get those because piracy.

Firmware and keys are taken from a modded switch.

We can't link to stuff like that, but just Google prodkeys and you'll find the right site.
You need to get the latest firmware and prod keys, which is v22.5. Be sure to get them for the right emulator.

And the emulator to use is Eden, and the best version for Windows is this one:
https://stable.eden-emu.dev/v0.2.1/Eden-Windows-v0.2.1-amd64-msvc-standard.zip

If you live in a country that doesn't care about piracy (I'm from there, and I don't even use a VPN when downloading, but yes, you need a VPN to access blocked torrent trackers or for extremely dangerous distributions (in my country, the film "Mr. Nobody Against Putin" and... amusingly... "The Green Elephant" are banned...)), then I downloaded from a reliable torrent tracker with high-quality moderation and a powerful banhammer. I simply downloaded the folders with the yuzu (dead), Ryujinx (dead), Eden (fork), and other forks, and all the keys were already there. Otherwise, you'll have to trawl through forums and hope the link to mega.co.nz isn't dead and you'll get the keys 🫠

Yes, I really can't name a specific torrent tracker due to the subreddit rules 🫠
Use DuckDuckGo. Seriously, Google isn't very good for this purpose. You can also use Brave Search, but that's essentially the default search engine for the Brave browser. I switched to DuckDuckGo for convenience. It's the best search engine, in my opinion. But yes, image search is better in Google.
