My wifi is 100% on and Zelda still lasted close to 3hrs. While it may very well be worse than Zelda's life span, I doubt it would down to 1 hour. Either way I think it is a poor point to consider as I said before. People will be near wifi to play this game which means they are likely also near power.

Zelda uses about.. 0% of your wifi.  Overwatch - would use 100%. I'm sure you can see the difference.

It is possible as a "docked" version over. Assuming they fix their various Wi-fi issues.

For the math to make sense that Wifi would 1/3rd the battery life of the Switch playing Zelda you are suggesting that the Wifi portion of the console uses 200% the power of the entire rest of the device.

Stop and think about for a minute. Then stop.

 

Edit - FAST RMX which is a 720p/60 game while undocked or 1080p(or 900p)/60 docked can run perfectly fine for online games for at least a few hours of play. Have tested and confirmed, and also while overwatch looks nice, the game is primarily coridors and very small area's to fight in. I highly doubt it would be impossible on the switch, but I'll be honest and say I very much doubt it would be ported over.

Check out at the 3:30 mark in the video above and consider that it's a 8 player online racer, it's really beautiful in both docked and undocked mode and most certainly can pump out those visuals for over 2 hours while undocked and online from personal use.
