That's irrelevent as far as Breath of the Wild is concerned since the game doesn't use the second screen. 

DF talk about the upgrade from 720p > 1080p in MK8 for ages but never once mention the removal of the extra screen which the Wii-U was rendering at 854x480 and streaming from the system.

In games like Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon where the second screen only showed a 2D image or a mirror of the TV screen, the processing cost is minimal. Only in games like Starfox Zero that draw 3D graphics to both screens is the performance hit signficant.
