TotK really makes Switch feel dated

The thing is, while the graphics may not be high end, the game is actually an incredible technical achievement in terms of how big and complex it is while remaining almost entirely free of glitches and jank.
A lot of people in the industry are blown away by how Nintendo was able to pull this off, so it's arguable that in terms of design, the game is cutting edge.

Actually, should we in future call games dated, that don't employ the scope and ability to creatively combine your resources you see in TotK? Because you could say that is the new industry standard.

I agree with both of these comments. And, that's why I said in the OP that TotK makes the *Switch* feel dated.  The hardware is holding the game back, possibly pretty significantly, depending on how much one values great graphics. Many aspects of the game are a step, in some cases many steps, above most of the rest of the industry. But, the hardware is causing the graphics to be a couple of steps behind. Presumably, with more modern hardware, the graphics would also be great.
