When The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild launched back in 2017 as a Nintendo Switch and Wii U exclusive, it was a sight to behold. It was a very beautiful game that ran on the Nintendo Switch’s handheld mode at 720p, and it ran at 900p in docked mode.

This was fine for some, but a number of people were somewhat disappointed too. They wanted the Nintendo Switch to do better.
