What is The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition?

This edition encompasses the full original game, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, enhanced with the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack. The upgrade brings improved performance, including faster frame rates, quicker load times, enhanced resolution, and better textures, making the game look and run better on the Nintendo Switch 2 than on the original console.

From our original review of Breath of the Wild: "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a masterclass in open-world design and a watershed game that reinvents a 30-year-old franchise. It presents a wonderful sandbox full of mystery, dangling dozens upon dozens of tantalizing things in front of you that just beg to be explored. I’ve had so many adventures in Breath of the Wild, and each one has a unique story behind what led me to them, making them stories on top of stories. And even after I’ve spent more than 50 hours searching the far reaches of Hyrule, I still manage to come across things I haven’t seen before. I’ll easily spend 50 to 100 more trying to track down its fascinating moments."
