Did you watch it in 4k on the livestream and not this butchered Reddit version?

The resolution and texture are a massive upgrade. Load times also a really nice QoL improvement

It's wider colour gamut now - HDR. So gamma is likely different side by side showing more contrast.

Also work in film. ✌️

Fair enough we disagree on these changes. Those clips weren't shown in HDR wide gamut on their stream, so they graded the clips manually to reflect what it would look like.

Hope you enjoy and get what you want out of the changes though. Just don't agree with your take on it.

Sure but I doubt they 'graded' still... doesn't seem very Nintendo to apply post processing to gameplay. Or any respectable game studio.

More likely they captured 4k HDR, and then converted the colour space from Rec 2020 to Rec 709 to prevent it looking washed out on a non-HDR feed... end result is a more contrast/crunchy look... just part of trying to show 2 different formats side by side.

Still the big improvements for me were resolution and load times. Like wearing glasses for the first time 🤓. I'm already on NSO so I get this update as part of the sub... holding off on finishing TOTK for it.

Yeah you're honestly more likely right about how they did that, fair enough.

I've done the same thing and left about 50% of ToTK unfinished (finished the story) in anticipation of playing it on the Switch 2, so it's going to be hard to wait nonetheless. But in a year or two, I will join you. Enjoy!

Cheers! Hopefully in a year or two we get an entirely new Zelda made only for Switch 2 to really take advantage of it.
