Breathe of the Wild wouldn't have worked on a system much weaker than the Switch or Wii U, its scope needed a certain level of power.

Well, it would probably have worked on a Xbox 360 or PS3 with some downgrades/compromises... their performance wasn't much worse than the WiiU's performance. Xbox 360 was 11.5 years old when Breath of the Wild released, PS3 was over 10 years old.

Biggest problem would have been the RAM (only 25% of the WiiU RAM, only 12.5% of the Switch RAM).

PS4 has 50% of the PS5-RAM, Xbox One has 80% of the Series-S-RAM... so scaling down got a lot easier.
