It's graphics directly impact it's performance.

Still irrelevent.

Only if you don't care about what game best represents the graphics capabilities of Wii U.... Which is exactly what this thread is about....

I do care. And Zelda is the game that best represents the capabilities of the Wii U. Regardless of the issues you choose to blow out of proportion. I played that version of the game, and it's nowhere near as bad as you make it sound. Visually, it stands comfortably atop XCX.

large dips in framerate isn't anything I'm making up, or blowing out of proportion. And visually it can stand on top of XCX, but it's not the best representative of the Wii U's graphics capabilities. It's obviously a bit too much for the old console.

Hey, if you say so. I disagree. And as far as I care, I'm right. =P

Lol, disagree with what? That there are frame dips in BoTW? That those frame dips are a direct result of not being able to handle the effects that place the game over XCX visually? It's all good, and there is no arguement that Zelda is better visually than Xenoblade X, but it is also no arguement that Xeno X performs better.

It was never a point of one of us being ultimately right or wrong, because we both are. It's just to show a different perspective which you simply don't care to see. In the end we are both right, but I go out seeing both sides of the fence, while you simply refuse to see anything else but what you want to see.

Wait. Why do you assume I don't see both sides? Because I don't blow the performance profile of Zelda the way you do, or something like that? Because those performance dips don't make me say or think the same thing as you?

And @ bolded: The way you were arguing (what for, really?) made it seem like you think XCX is better visually than Zelda. 

The Legend of Zelda: The Windwaker.

I thought everyone had agreed that the lemon in Color Splash was the most graphically impressive thing on Wii U.
