Since the subreddit got killed, I’ll post the settings I’m currently using. I’m getting a mostly-ok 30fps, with dips down to 20. Definitely playable. Shrines can spike to 50-60 fps, which is nice. If anyone has tweaks to improve performance I’d love to hear it.

I apologize if some of this is superfluous or if I missed something, its been a couple weeks since I set this up. I got these settings from a post on the subreddit and tweaked them a bit. I’d love to credit that user, but subreddit nuke :( Based on /u/Marconobii’s guides on reddit
EDIT: formatting
EDIT 2:Added link to mods

I think this might be the original source of these settings. Note they have additional settings not mentioned in their screenshots. https://web.archive.org/web/20230528103155/https://old.reddit.com/r/NewYuzuPiracy/comments/13tx459/totk_steam_deck_best_settings_update/
Thank you! Its mainly based of this users guides. Not sure if its this one specifically, they wrote a few. I did change a bit playing around with mods and some of the graphics settings. I’ll update the post with credit.
