The Switch is powerful enough to handle it imo. It just was optimized with Wii U architecture, which is very different from the Switch. Regardless, this game is an achievement in technology no matter how we look at it. This is hardware (Wii U version) a little more powerful than a PS3, a 10 year old system, and this game challenges those on PS4/XBO at least on scope and details/design, and let's not get started in size.  Personally, graphics are perfectly fine at that level, maybe some textures could have looked better or used higher quality. The only problems I find are framerate and some form of screen tearing (or it feels like screen tearing, might be something different) every now and then.

The Blood Moon freaks me out everytime it happens Same with thunderstorms... specially in an island that I found today, with a challenge that makes it much more scary.

Spoiler alert for anyone but Slarvax

You found the island huh?  now that I've looked at the shots animegaming put up I see that the background is different and know why he has clothes. The island is a bitch I spent 45 minutes on that fat bastard and killed him just to get one shotted in the back by an enemy at another pedastal.  Super frustrating.  I finally left to go get at least one more heart before attemptinjg it again.

Lol avoiding spoilers in BotW is a game in itself

Yeah, that is so far the most difficult Shrine in the game. It took me 2 tries and the first try was like 30 minutes running around, but I managed to find a trick and kill the Hinox in the coolest way ever. What I did was I found you could buff yourself before entering the island, so I gave myself 9 extra hearts and drank a speed buff potion. Getting the first 2 orbs was easy, but the Hinox was gonna be impossible when I ran out of arrows and he still hand half his life. So I used Stasis on one of the rocks nearby and managed to send it flying straight at him, which did like 30% damage and knocked him out enough for me to kill with a weapon. So freaking cool. Except thunderstorms. Like 4 thunders landed right next to me while I was there.
