Maybe there's something wrong with my eyes but to me, the game looks fantastic. Especially considering it's on the Switch.

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

Probably nothing wrong with your eyes, you just need to compare it side by side with other platforms. For me, it's way too much of a downgrade. And I only play my switch at home, so portability isn't worth the downgrade. 



I almost exclusively use my Switch at home, so no need to purchase this for me even if I didn't own it on PS4 already. Good for anyone who plays portables, most impressive port to date. Much better than Panic Button.



Impressive feat. Though I played it on the pro and didn't like it.

I can get it for free and still won't be downloading it. I think they could have gotten more juice out of it, look at what was achieved with Zelda.

Uh. Sounds like you want them to change the art style. From a technical standpoint Witcher 3 is leagues ahead of BOTW.

Not the art style, I mean graphically that Zelda on the Switch looks better than Witcher 3 on the switch. Tecnically Witcher 3 is leagues above BOTW on other platforms, I'd disagree with the comparison on the switch though.

It is down to art style though, It's easier to make Zelda look better because it's art style is less technically demanding. It's a poor comparison to make when trying to determine if the Witcher 3 port could have been any better than it actually is. How good Zelda looks is irrelevant.

For the Switch and the hardware it has, it looks truly fantastic.

However, compared to PC, it looks like a something you could get on there 10 years ago. And even PS4 and XBO look much better if set side-by-side.

Way too many compromises for me, makes no sense not playing it on another platform than PC. Runs and looks terrible, although play on the switch if you truly wish.

Completed the sentence for you.

And yeah, if you truly want to play that game without many compromises, you have to get the PC version. Even PS4 looks and runs like crap compared to the game on PC.

It doesn't have to be Zelda then, even Warframe looks much better on the switch than this, with far more things going on. I'm saying that it doesn't look like they tried very hard. There's no reason the cutscenes need to look so bad, the switch can definitely pull out better graphics than that.
