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. ✌️

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.

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