where do I download the actual game?

funny how everyone is blurring acnh but when new leaf is played on citra no one does it lol

Hi, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, probably because I'm not techy at all, but the ACNH link you have in the description isn't giving me anything that I can use as a game in my Ryujinx application if that makes sense. It just gives a new game save file that I can't extract anything from to add to the emulator. I know this is a very old video so you probably won't see this comment, but I'm just very confused.
