The wii u in some ways was more powerful than the switch is what I was saying. And because BOTW was initially a Wii U game (the switch game being a port) and it was intended to push the wii u to the absolute limits at the time. TOTK is just using the exact same engine as BOTW, even though TOTK is a game solely designed for the Switch, it's still using a lot of code that was initially intended for the Wii U.

BOTW and TOTK are more comparable to the third party games being pared down to fit on such a small device after being made for much more powerful hardware initially, like the Witcher 3 and whatnot.

And even though Witcher 3 does run really well. Still looks like it's covered in vaseline compared to its other console versions.
