Nintendo is no longer a home console company...

I'm fairly sure Breath of the Wild runs in portable mode unless you have some new information that states it only works when docked.

If your making the point about its performance level well the wii u has less memory, cpu and gpu performance than some phones nowadays so its hardly a title that requires a powerful system. It's more like a refinement of Zelda Windwaker and twilight princess on the gamecube graphically which ran with a 8 gflops gpu. It seems if anything to be at a mid point between the 2 styles of graphics.

Simple question, what would you classify Breath of the Wild as? Handheld console experience or home console experience?

I know this question is meant for someone else and it is a, "trap" question but I have to say that it is a poor question that has ends that do not justify the means. For example, Monster Hunter is clearly a home console experience but it is not on a home console. We have been seeing games like MvC on hand held devices with almost complete home console parity since before Switch, so to say, "I see it as a home console because there is a home console game on it..." like Smash is not on 3DS and Wii U is... ignorant to the current state of hand held gaming.
