Even though it released back in 2017 for the Switch and Wii U,The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wildstill looks magnificent on both consoles. Thanks to the game’s cel-shaded art style and cartoony visuals, it even looks great in portable mode in lower resolution. Since the Switch doesn’t have much power compared to other modern consoles, Zelda fans might never be able to experienceBreath of the Wildin 4K and 60fps, but one dedicated fan has created something that might help us imagine what it could look like.
SnazzyAI on YouTube used AI upscaling to visually “upgrade” one of the first trailers forThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
