Tears of the Kingdom is exceptionally well-designed, offering mechanics that are so refreshing that they surpass even Breath of the Wild, a game known for its brilliance.

However, the performance limitations of the Nintendo Switch significantly hinder the experience, leading me to believe that the current state of the game upon launch is unacceptable.

Currently, there are no viable alternatives to playing the game other than on the Nintendo Switch, except for using an emulator, which performs poorly. It’s puzzling why Nintendo hasn’t considered developing a new console with backward compatibility to address these issues.

What is your take on this?

    I’m not sure what performance limitations significantly hinder the experience or make it unacceptable? It’s been fine for me ~95% of the time and definitely worth playing.

      Since the game relies so much on its physics, which is a mayor selling point of the game. Every time i use the ultrahand ability the game drops frames.

      Of course man, it’s really impressive that they were able to pull all of this off on a mobile system that was released 6 years ago. I just think that takes away from the overall experience.
