Hey Poor Player's Anthony Pelone says: "Our Zelda: Breath of the Wild review is here! Is the game as perfect as everyone saying it is? Well, more or less, yeah."
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is given new life on the Nintendo Switch 2.
Lol. Wonder if we'll see a million switch 2 upgrades like we saw for the PS5 this gen.
Considering how many games on Switch 1 struggled with either performance or resolution (sometimes both), I wouldn't have any qualms with a bunch of updates...as long as the majority are free.
Most PS4 games, for example, give PS5 upgrades for no cost. If it adds content, charge for content, but the core res/fps bumps should just be free patches. Nintendo charging for the Zelda updates feels really stingy. It's a res/fps bump that's only other value add is a weird phone app. Wonder how many people who've paid for the upgrade have even bothered with it.
I'm also baffled by the lack of updates to games, even just announcements. I guess Nintendo kept dev kits so tightly locked up, that there's going to be a dry spell for Switch 2 specific content to start the generation? Hopefully Big N is just hoarding these announcements to fill out the next Direct; and hopefully many of these updates/patches are free.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition upgrades visuals, performance, and adds new tools like Zelda Notes.
If I was just staring BotW then yeah, I would get the upgrade but no way I'm going back to replay it, this goes for any Switch 1 games that I have and played already.

Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is undoubtedly the best way to play one of the greatest games of all time. The visual and performance enhancements remove any issues that you may have had to endure with the original game. It's practically flawless from that perspective.
Sadly, the Zelda Notes app really brings the whole thing down. Useful features that should have been implemented in-game have been relegated to your smartphone, and using it completely breaks immersion in this incredible world. I'm only thankful that it's not even remotely mandatory. Leave Zelda Notes to one side, and you've got the definitive presentation of a modern classic." - Ollie Reynolds | NintendoLife
I love the amount of freedom Breath of the Wild has.
I've never felt so small inside a game world, so much can happen even just going from 1 town to another.
