BOTW is a Wii U game. It has AAA Wii U graphics. It's not really possible for it to look significantly better than it does while running all the simulations that it does to achieve its physics and chemistry systems in an open world setting.

I mean, would you criticize a PS4 game for not looking as good as a PS5 game?

Well yeah, but I already talked about Nintendo's choice to stick with weak hardware because they haven't adapted well to HD game development as it's far more intensive. It doesn't mean they won't be compared to what others are making. 

I'd say it's compared pretty favorably then, considering its one of the most highly rated games of recent years, a 20 million plus seller, and widely beloved by players.

When it comes to Switch though, that's not sticking with weak hardware, as Switch was very capable mobile tech for when it came out, that's more a choice to avoid the crowded dedicated console market and retain their portable market. And again, that has paid off handsomely as we're about to see Switch pass 100 million units sold.
