Nintendo has a limited edition Zelda-themed OLED Switch for sale, if you can actually find it. Switches all run the same type of graphics, though the OLED-screened Switch has the biggest, most vivid-colored portable display. You don't need to worry about which Switch to play Tears of the Kingdom on. One interesting future possibility: Maybe Nintendo makes future Tears of the Kingdom DLC that could support a more graphics-boosted next-gen Switch in years to come? That's total speculation, but not impossible to imagine.

#ZELDA GEMS MEANING UPGRADE#
I love it so far, but I do dream of how much better this could be with another graphics/performance upgrade in the future. The bad news is it's really not much better, even six years later. The entire rapid fire question session is filled with gems such as the duo’s answer to which Zelda game was the toughest to develop ( Breath of the Wild ) and whether or not Link will speak a. The good news is that Tears of the Kingdom runs just fine on the current Switch models, and has about the same performance feel as Breath of the Wild. Some Pokemon games haven't looked so good, but Tears of the Kingdom feels excellently optimized for the aging Switch hardware, and somehow makes epic landscapes seem fluid and beautiful. Though Nintendo's graphics capabilities now feel like they lag significantly behind what the PS5 and Xbox Series X can do, Nintendo has still been clever about optimizing games to make the most of the aging hardware. That doesn't seem to be the case here, barring some sort of jaw-dropping last-minute surprise. The Switch is already six years into its life span, and Nintendo has often timed new consoles to debut with new Zelda games. Will the Switch run the game well, or is this a moment for a Switch 2?
