Zelda for Switch 2 - Nintendo donates Botw and Totk improved editions

Link also makes it on Switch 2 with its last games.

During the Nintendo Switch 2 Showcase, Nintendo showed many games that come to the new console. These also include Switch 1 games that come to Switch 2 in an improved form. At the very front:and.

Nintendo brings the last Zelda games as switch 2 editions

The Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom are undeniably among the best Zelda and Switch 1 games. So it makes sense that Nintendo also bring these hits to the successor console so that they can benefit from the better technology.

Received both games:

An improved frame rate
Higher resolution
HDR support (for richer colors and contrasts)
Zelda Notes: Service within the Nintendo Switch Online app (exclusively for Switch 2 Game Edition)-transforms the smartphone into the Shiekah-Stein, which means that we can use the card and a photo studio

How the Zelda Notes appear, this idea shows from the Direct:

What is meant with improved FPS and higher resolution is still unclear.The 30 FPS will certainly easily crack the games because the Switch 2 should offer the 120 fps. We should finally experience the Zelda games more smoothly than it was still the case on Switch 1.

Are there differences in handheld and TV mode?This is very likely because the Switch 2 in the dock offers up to 4K, which the handheld alone cannot deliver. Nintendo has not yet carried out how the games differ in detail in the respective modes.

When will the Zelda Enhanced versions be available?The improved editions of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom appear directly to the launch of the Switch 2 console, i.e. on June 5, 2025.
