Erm, he's not even standing in the same spot. Link is much further back on the WiiU, while on the switch he's standing on the rock in front of the church building. The only other difference is the sky reflection effect, old build or intentional no clue. Nintendo has stated that the only difference would be resolution and sound effects. (and perfromance likely)

Looks like I'll get it on the WiiU first, don't have a pre-order lined up.

Switch image way sharper and more details added.  The draw distance looks the same to me though.

In the words of Edea (also a WiiU owner), "Mrrgrrgrr..."

Draw distance, also known as render distance or view distance, is a computer graphics term, defined as the maximum distance of objects in a three-dimensional scene that are drawn by the rendering engine. Polygons that lie beyond the draw distance will not be drawn to the screen.

As the draw distance increases, more distant polygons need to be drawn onto the screen that would regularly be clipped. This requires more computing power; the graphic quality and realism of the scene will increase as draw distance increases, but the overall performance (frames per second) will decrease. Many games and applications will allow users to manually set the draw distance to balance performance and visuals.

Cool.

Hoping the gameplay is good. That's what's most important to me.

The first Nintendo console I will get day one, and the first time since 360 that I'm excited for a new console. This will be awesome :).

Colour me impressed! Colour me ... more colours, for the Switch version, too. It's not groundbreakingly different, but I'm happy to see that improvement :3

Oh dang! Its lookin good!

Could be due to a number of factors, including dynamic weather. Still good to hear.

I really want to know how much better the Switch version actually is.
