Why this game leads
When people search for zelda ocarina of time lichii, they are asking about the remake that launched for Switch 2 and was running in this emulator on its release day. On desktop the story raced ahead, with builds reporting 50 to 60 frames per second in most areas on strong graphics cards. On Android the same game is the port flagship test: every release note leads with it. Everything here assumes the tested build from zelda ocarina of time lichii.
The Android arc is worth knowing. The first release booted the game and ran its title screen and intro movies at 60 frames per second, then hung loading the first gameplay scene. The next build cleared the hang but Android closed the game for low memory shortly after gameplay started. The build after that reached gameplay properly.
The settings that work
Start with handheld mode, the NCE CPU backend and 0.5x resolution. On a 12 GB phone that combination ran Kokiri Forest at about 15 to 20 frames per second in the build that first reached gameplay, and later builds made the same scenes faster and much steadier by skipping the game anti aliasing network on Android and fixing how the GPU threads wait on each other.
Leave the per game memory limit on Auto; it was built for exactly this title. The built in FPS unlock and Dynamic FPS support keep game logic at real speed when the frame rate moves, so a dip never turns into slow motion or a surge into double speed. If you want the thinking behind each toggle, the settings baseline page explains them one by one.
The memory trap at 1x
The one setting to respect is resolution. At 1x on a 12 GB phone this game uses more memory than the phone has; Android swaps constantly, the frame rate drops, and the system may simply close the game during a scene load. That is not a crash in the emulator so much as arithmetic.
Phones with 16 GB of RAM have real headroom and can experiment upward. Everyone else should treat 0.5x as the game intended setting on Android for now, and enjoy that a Switch 2 remake plays at all in a pocket. When closures do strike, the low memory fixes apply in order.

Quick Answers
What frame rate should I expect in Ocarina of Time on Android?
It depends on the phone and the build. Kokiri Forest ran at about 15 to 20 frames per second at 0.5x in the first gameplay build, with later builds reported faster and steadier. Desktop builds on strong graphics cards reach 50 to 60 in most areas.
Why does the game close during scene loads?
Memory. At 1x the game can need more RAM than a 12 GB phone holds. Drop to 0.5x, close other apps and keep the per game memory limit on Auto.
Do cutscenes play properly?
Yes. Movies decode through Android hardware, and a later build fixed cutscene audio drifting out of sync with the video.
