Re-Re-Re-Re Testing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of The Kingdom on the Steam Deck. With the latest releases of YUZU-EA (patreon.com/yuzuteam) there have been fixes for VRAM issues, some specifically for the Steam Deck.
Shaders were cleared before testing.
I still personally would recommend playing it natively on the Switch at this point, if you have it.
Enjoy!
