Nintendo Switch 2 Shines as Zelda Speedrunner Tops Final Boss

A remarkable feat was achieved during the Nintendo Switch 2 Experience in Japan, where a speedrunner named Ikaboze completed the final boss of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild in a stunning seven minutes. Ikaboze managed this incredible speedrun while using a save file without knowing Link's equipment and even while playing on an unfamiliar controller amidst the chaos of a convention. This demonstration marked the first completion of the Breath of the Wild demo, earning him spontaneous applause from onlookers. The new Nintendo Switch 2 Enhanced Edition of Breath of the Wild showcases improved visuals and performance along with new features available through an upgrade pack for existing owners. Pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 have begun with high demand affecting delivery guarantees.

The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Breath of the Wild offers enhanced visuals, improved performance, and the new "Zelda Notes" service via the Nintendo Switch Online app. Existing players can purchase an upgrade pack for $10 to access these features, while subscribers to Nintendo Switch Online can obtain them at no extra cost.

Launched in 2017, it redefined the Zelda franchise with its expansive environment, exploration, and sandbox-style gameplay. The anticipation surrounding the Nintendo Switch 2 version highlights the enduring popularity and impact of this game on the gaming community.
