Modded Zelda: Breath of the Wild with Ray Tracing Outshines Nintendo Switch 2 in Latest Video

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Enhanced for Nintendo Switch 2

Nintendo is set to elevate the gaming experience with an enhanced version of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, specifically designed for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. Despite this upgrade, it still cannot match the visually stunning potential offered by mods and ray tracing capabilities accessible through PC emulators.

Stunning Visuals Achieved Through Modding

A remarkable showcase by Digital Dreams on YouTube highlights the game running with the “Ray Tracing Beyond All Limits ReShade”preset, applying Ultra settings that transform the aesthetics of the game into an extraordinary visual feast. Nevertheless, there are moments where the modded graphics somewhat clash with the original art style of the game.

Watch the stunning transformation here:

Limitations of Nintendo Switch 2 Graphics

While the Nintendo Switch 2 introduces ray tracing capabilities, it’s doubtful that even a well-crafted remaster of Breath of the Wild will fully capitalize on this technology. As such, enthusiasts eager to experience the highest-quality visuals will likely continue to favor emulators on PC that allow for extensive modding.

Exciting New Features and Enhancements

Even without the potential for significant graphical improvements, the upgraded versions of Breath of the Wild and its sequel, Tears of the Kingdom, promise to deliver substantial value for fans. The enhanced editions will boast features such as:

Higher resolution graphics
Improved frame rates
High Dynamic Range (HDR) support
A new mechanic known as Zelda Notes available through the Nintendo Switch app
An option to create a second save file

Both titles are scheduled for release alongside the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5th, making it an anticipated date for fans of this iconic franchise.
