I'm honestly so glad my brain doesn't work this way.
I can't imagine having a game this magical ruined for me because the trees or Link's hair aren't advanced enough. Those are the last things on my mind when I'm playing.

It's like when Mario Galaxy came out on the Wii; sure, it was a generation behind PS3 and 360 graphically, but that didn't matter when it was one of the best games I'd ever played.

Yes. 100%

It would be so awful to be the kind of person who can't appreciate one of the best games in years simply because it looks great but not nearly as great as games on newer consoles lol. I like how these people always think they are telling something important by pointing out that a handheld system is not as powerful as a console.

Whenever I play my Switch I either don't notice the graphics at all if they are just okay, or I think to myself dang this game looks great. Zelda is one of those games when I think damn this game looks great! That said, sure, I'm looking forward to how great next-gen Zelda will be in a bunch of years from now, but in no way does that stop me from appreciating how beautiful Switch Zelda looks, nor how incredible the games are.

I cared about graphical differences a lot back in the 90s and early 2000s when games were still in their early days graphically because well I was a kid and also bad graphics could be all blurry and pixelated and glitchy. Nowadays, unless the dev/art team are either not good or don't put in much effort, every game looks great. The idea that a beautiful game like Zelda on Switch is ruined simply because it's not 4k is just sad for the people who actually see things that way.
