The Legend of Zelda Switch Games Getting Switch 2 Versions
[summaraize]
As part of the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, Nintendo announced that they will bring Switch titles to Switch 2 with enhanced versions. The first of these will be perhaps the platform’s biggest games, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, which will both feature enhanced visuals and some new features.
Nintendo has released a lengthy video to break down all of these improvements.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wilds and Tears of the Kingdom May Finally Run at Smooth 60 FPS
Now here’s a fun little fact for all of you: This will mark the third console generation that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wilds was released on, as it originally came to the Nintendo Wii U before releasing on the original Switch. Crazy, I know, but given the power behind the Switch 2, this is probably going to be the best way to play it, as well as Tears of the Kingdom. Both games suffered from performance issues, though Tears of the Kingdom more so.
While Nintendo hasn’t confirmed if they managed to get it to run on a locked FPS on the Switch 2, they did confirm, along with what else is being improved, that it will feature better resolution and FPS.
Upgrade details
- Support for the ZELDA NOTES game-specific service via Nintendo Switch App*

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wilds and Tears of the Kingdom Switch 2 editions will launch on June 5, 2025, the same day as the Switch 2 launch.
