Being entirely honest: You can skip Tears of the Kingdom. I don't think it's a particularly fun game. It's a miraculous piece of software, the various systems interact without crashing...somehow. But I don't think it's a particularly fun game.

On Switch 2 you get only HDR and 4K,no new textures or better graphics. You pay $10 to utilize the console you bought over a game you have.
On Switch 3 you will need to buy it again, only for $ 120.
The flood of remakes and remasters shows how the innovation in large gaming corporations has run dry.
That's a little disingenuous. There are other gameplay features added for the Switch 2 version.
You mean the app guide and building sharing through QR? That's on your phone. I speak for BOTW and TOTK.
You pay $10 to utilize the console you bought over a game you have.
I've read this sentence like 10 times, and I just don't get it. What are you saying here?
just don't give this company any more money at this point in time.
Patient gamers FTW!
Just buy a PC. Then you don't have to wonder about this sort of nonsense.
E: you can safely ignore this exchange, I was wrong, Switch 2 is backwards compatible and the "enhanced editions" are only $10 for the upgrade.
Im going to emulate this. Recently I was able to afford me a new PC with a Ryzen 5600X CPU with a RX 7600 GPU, it's time to gaming for me.
I bought it at release and emulated it 2 days after. Much smoother on PC, even with shader recompiling. Only reason I did it was to remove the duplication patches, but the improved graphics fidelity was a major side benefit.
It runs and looks SO MUCH BETTER on the computer. And MODS!
Any guides on how to get started? Would love to do a totk and botw run on pc
Ugh I only have a link to the guide I used on Reddit, but since I did this, both emulators have been taken down.

It will still work if you can get the software tho!
Emulate it. I'm pretty sure that there are active forks of Switch emulators that lay low.
Either wait for the switch 4, or just port it to pc and enjoy
If you already have a Switch then play it now. If you don't, then wait.
Nintendo has always had my favorite exclusives. My whole life, I’ve been guiding Mario, Link, and Kirby directly into pits hundreds of times a day. I just don’t think I can keep feeding Nintendos greed anymore and I’m a little sad that that part of my life might be over.
Pirate it, then store it? Then you could keep all your favourites forever.
I'm still waiting for xbox 12 before getting skyrim...
Nintendo fucked me over with the WiiU and Zelda BotW... won't buy anything from them ever again
What did they do?
They released a game for a console you already owned, and then released it again on the new console, and people got mad? I dunno.
I loved my Wii U, and loved playing BotW on it. I guess it wasn't designed to use the control pad in any special way, which was a bit of a drag, but it played great.
For me the answer is pretty clear, right now with my overclocked Switch 1, I get above 40 FPS most of the time (60 in certain areas) with BOTW and also I am using Fizeau to improve the colors to make it look more like a Switch OLED (it even looks great on the TV), I don't expect TOTK being too different.
I’m playing it on the Switch 1
