I think a part of that is due to all the delays; had BotW launched in 2015 alongside the likes of Xenoblade Chronicles X and Splatoon, it would have held up very nicely, but now that it'll be arriving alongside Switch titles like the new 3D Mario, it's going to really show its age even by the standards of its fellow Nintendo titles. This is one of the big problems with Zelda's absurdly long dev cycles, by the time the games come out they already look dated.

And being stuck at 720p is better than the alternative; shooting for 1080p and as a result not looking much better than Wii U in terms of shaders, effects, etc.

Agreed on the third point.

Yeah but to be fair I still think that XCX will be a better open world than Zelda. Monolith Soft is a master of the open world and scale at this point. They are such masters that Nintendo is using them to assist on BotW. I think that even when it launches, XCX will be the better open world.

All I meant was that Breath of the Wild would likely have looked better graphically alongside XCX than alongside Switch games.
