Breath of the Wild suffers from some serious framerate issues. The first open-world game in the series, it struggles across both the new Nintendo Switch and older Wii Uconsole when it comes to its busier areas. Swaying grass, multiple monsters and chatty townsfolk, all onscreen at once, can cause the game to stutter along.
But a new patch from Nintendo seems to address this, on the newer machine at least, with Nintendo promising a "more pleasant gaming experience."
Switch in performance
It certainly seems to be an improvement for the Switch build of the game – YouTube's ElAnalistaDeBits has made a comparison video between build 1.1.0 and the new 1.1.1, and it's a night and day difference:
However, there's no word yet on if the Wii U version will be getting the same treatment.
We've contacted Nintendo for confirmation on further support for the Wii U version of the game, and will update if we get a response. Here's hoping it does – Breath of the Wild is a great swan-song for Nintendo's much-maligned console, and improvements to its final Zelda game would be suitable thanks for those that have continued to support the troubled machine to its dying days.
