But does it run them well? Does BotW run as well on Switch as it does on Wii U?
We really don't know yet.
But from the rumors I've read, and from the technical analysis I've seen, the Switch is slightly less powerful than the Wii U, and would have to be in order for it to avoid overheating or having an abysmal battery life. There's a fair bit of "THE SWITCH IS AS POWERFUL AS THE PS4," but whenever a rumor from a "source" comes out, that turns out not be the case. I would love if Nintendo put more power into the Switch, and maybe it somehow does manage to pull a power boost when it's docked, but it sure looks like Nintendo has traded power for portability with this one. They're essentially running mobile hardware, so my expectations aren't that high.
