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.

The second screen in Mario Kart 8 isn't anything special. It's only a video stream of what's rendered on your TV. The console has a chip that handles that. No extra rendering is required.
