Except Splatoon 2 was only a demo and BoTW is a launch game, games don't magically upscale to 1080p because the console has more power, with Zelda probably Nintendo didn't had enough time and/or they didn't though it was so relevant, the artstyle makes it look almost like a 1080p game, MK8 is one of the very best WiiU games in the graphic department and that one is coming at 1080p with perfect 60fps.

the "only a demo" excuse doesn't work when the game comes out in 6 months.

The " they didn't have time for Zelda" excuse doesn't work either when just after you prove that they can do it with MK8

There is clearly, big technical limitations with the Switch, if it was 70% the power of a One, it would easily render Splatoon 2 and Zelda at 1080p. Digital foundry themselves said that the games didn't have any Anti Aliasing, which is a sure indicator that the console is already struggeling to render the games we saw. So stop kidding yourselves people. be more realistic.

It's underpowered as a home system, as a handheld though, it's truly powerful.

Mario Kart 8, believe it or not, isn't nearly as demanding a game as BOTW.

If it was demanding, it wouldn't be running at 60fps.

When it comes to Splatoon 2, the game is still in development. It could be simply a case where they didn't yet have a proper 1080p build that reached their performance target, so they locked it at 720p to make the gameplay experience as smooth as possible for the purpose of the Switch Presentation.
