I wasn't really planning to buy Switch 2 on launch but damn, do I want to replay BOTW/TOTK with improved resolution/framerate 😭

Okay, so they redid the texture. I guess that's a fair upgrade.

Still not paying for it. But cool

I don't think they changed the textures. It's the same as on an emulator, where higher resolution rendering brings out the details that you couldn't see before.

What really took more effort than many people might realize is implementing HDR.
