It hasn’t been my experience that Deck emulates Switch games better than the Switch, unless you mean 3rd party titles running on Proton instead of being emulated, in which case, I’d agree. For example, haven’t been able to get a solid 60fps on MK8 in split screen mode.
Maybe not all games, but the two Zelda games run better on emulator than they do on Switch.
I've been trying to play totk on my steam deck cuz im not shelling out 70 bucks for a game and it runs at like 20 fps. How are you getting it running playably
I'll look into it when I get a chance, I don't remember the details, but it went pretty smoothly for me.
I haven’t tested them, but my understanding is that on a faster gaming PC, it’s a better experience than the Switch. My understanding is also that the frame rate on the Steam Deck isn’t great for them, especially TotK, and that BotW is more playable on Steam Deck with Cemu. Here’s a thread on Reddit talking about how to get beyond 20fps for TotK with mods and other techniques:

I made my statement based on popular opinion. I don't have personal experience with it.
