So, here we go—let’s dive into this whole thing about the Switch 2. It’s supposed to be this snazzy upgrade from the original Nintendo Switch, right? And, gosh, maybe it’s just me being all nostalgic, but I keep thinking of those good old games like Breath of the Wild and, um, what was it? Oh yeah, Tears of the Kingdom. Remember how these games totally captured our hearts? Caught me by surprise, honestly.
And, okay, confession time—I’ve played these only about a million times. Or at least it feels like it. But now, with the Switch 2 version, it feels like a wild adventure all over again. Stuff just pops, you know? Like those loading times, which, let’s be real, were kind of a pain. It’s almost like, blink, and you’re there. Or maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but you get the point.
So, testing—yep, we did that. Ran these games through a whole circus of tests. The boot times, save files, fast travel, you name it. Why? Because, why not? It’s what you do when you’re obsessed. It was on a Switch OLED first, then the magical Switch 2. Habits, I guess.
And, surprise surprise (not really), Switch 2 just wipes the floor with the old Switch. It’s got those load times down to a science. At least half. Sometimes more—it’s crazy. Especially for Tears of the Kingdom. The thing just soared.
Look, the whole combo of the Nintendo Switch 2 and these updated titles? A total revelation. You might, theoretically, throw in the original versions on a Switch 2. Haven’t tried that yet, though. Am I curious? Maybe. Another day, another distraction, right?
Anyway, the Switch 2 editions—they just flow. Slick and smooth. And hey, if you’ve been waiting to wander through Hyrule again—or for the first time—this is your cue. Just a small catch—a little extra cash. But, um, who’s keeping track, right?
