Okay, so here’s the thing about the Switch 2. It’s like the OG Nintendo Switch, but, you know, leveled up somehow? It’s kinda like when you get really good at making pancakes after messing up a bunch of times — finally flipping them just right. Random thought: pancakes and tech upgrades, who’d compare those? Anyway.
Oh man, Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom — both masterpieces. Every time you dive into those worlds, it feels like dreaming while awake. Especially on the Switch 2. Somehow it makes them even better, which I didn’t think was possible. You ever try watching a sunset with pixelated edges? Nope, not here. These games on Switch 2? Smooth like… um, butter slipping off that perfectly flipped pancake.
So, about the loading times on this new device — such a relief! Remember the old days when you’d just sit, waiting for ages? I did some tests, trying to be all scientific. Ran the games on Switch OLED, then on Switch 2. Yep, I actually timed stuff like booting up, loading a save, fast travel… all those things that seem insignificant but steal your time bit by bit. And woah! Faster, waaaaay faster on the new console. Like they sprinkled magic, or maybe just gave it better specs. Who knows.
Switch 2 really shows up the old Switch with how snappy everything is. It totally slays it with loading times for both games, especially Tears of the Kingdom. Maybe they gave it a little extra love in optimization — whatever that really means. But Breath of the Wild doesn’t lag behind much. Both get their deserved glow-ups.
And can we talk about how playing these on the new device feels? It’s like everything’s more seamless. You’re more in it, you know? Like Hyrule is calling you deeper and you just can’t resist it. But, hey, it’s not free — you gotta cough up that extra $10 if you want the full package. Or snag a Nintendo Switch Online membership. Totally worth it if Hyrule has your heart. Just sayin’.
