While the four Champions chosen to pilot the Divine Beasts began to control them, Princess Zelda went on a pilgrimage under Link’s protection, in which she prayed to the goddess Hylia for the sacred power required to defeat Calamity Ganon. Revali of the Rito was selected to control Divine Beast Vah Medoh. Of the Gorons, Daruk was to command Divine Beast Vah Rudania, while Urbosa, the chief of the Gerudo accepted the invitation to be in charge of Divine Beast Vah Naboris. Princess Mipha of the Zora was chosen to pilot Divine Beast Vah Ruta. He called these warriors the Champions.Ĭommanded by Princess Zelda, their ranks included Link, her royal knight, and a representative of each major race of Hyrule. This discovery coincided with the prophecy about Ganon's return, thus King Rhoam decided to create a group of warriors to control the Divine Beasts. Once Link reaches Kakariko Village, Impa tells Link that a hundred years before Link awakened, Hylians discovered the ancient relics that the Sheikah Tribe had constructed ten thousand years prior: the Guardians and the four Divine Beasts, which were constructed to protect Hyrule. The Old Man tells Link that he should head over to Kakariko Village and talk to Impa.

Link also learns that although Calamity Ganon is trapped, his power continues to grow and it will be a matter of time until Princess Zelda cannot contain him any more, which implies that Link must defeat him before he breaks free and destroys Hyrule. After Link finds the treasure hidden inside the four Shrines on the Great Plateau, the Old Man later reveals that he is in fact Rhoam Bosphoramus Hyrule, the former King of Hyrule, in spirit. The Old Man tells Link that a monstrous being called Calamity Ganon had appeared one hundred years prior to Link’s awakening and destroyed much of Hyrule before being sealed away in Hyrule Castle by Princess Zelda. During his exploration, he encounters an Old Man. Then, guided by a mysterious female voice, and using a new gadget that he finds inside the shrine dubbed the Sheikah Slate, Link explores The Great Plateau. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is out now for Switch and Wii U.After a 100 year sleep, Link awakes inside the Shrine of Resurrection. It may be one of the most anticipated games of 2017 and one of the best reviewed games, but if it runs just fine on a current platform then that eases some of the pressure to upgrade. This should as a relief, as some might be concerned about investing $300 in a console just to play Zelda. That being said, it doesn’t appear as though Wii U players will be getting a bad experience, or even a significantly compromised experience, while playing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Digital Foundry notes that neither version has particularly great antialiasing, but concedes that the Switch version will offer the greater detail and draw distance to Breath of the Wild players. Overall, the image on the Switch version is crisper and clearer thanks to a 56% increase in pixel density. In handheld mode, however, they both run at a resolution of 720p.

At least that’s true when the Switch is connected to a television, where the console delivers Zelda at 900p compared to the Wii U’s 720p.

Of course, the real comparison test for the Wii U and Switch versions of Zelda: Breath of the Wild comes down to the visuals, and as expected Switch is the leader.

Basically, it sounds as though Nintendo optimized the Switch version and the Wii U version separately, highlighting certain areas on one platform while highlighters different areas on the other. It’s an interesting conundrum, and the explanation is likely more complicated than any gamer would care to get into.
