With courtesy of Nitnendaan we have now some nice direct-feed screenshots of Zelda BoTW on Switch. There's a spoiler warning because one boss unrevealed in the trailers (but revealed in the GameInformer coverage) is there, I'll post it as a direct link to the screenshot, so you can browse without getting spoiled.

Wow everything looking good. Next Week!

So it looks like you can buy clothing at the village? Maybe we will cut our hair there too!

Tagyhag · Feb 21, 2017

I really have to get into the mindset that the Switch is a handheld hardware-wise.

I look at those pictures and think "Style aside, it looks terrible" but for a handheld it looks fantastic.

Lightning looks cool either way

Fuchs · Feb 21, 2017

That spoiler picture tho!

Diddy Kong · Feb 21, 2017

SO. GOOD.

Glix · Feb 21, 2017

I can't freaking wait for next Friday, holy crap.

I even talked to my shrink about my hype.

Vitacat · Feb 21, 2017

Looks great.

I know, but it still looks pretty badass.

This fucking game man...

Platy · Feb 21, 2017

I would have guessed these are the spoiler pics because if there is something they aren't showing in trailers is towns and npcs =P

Enemies, story cutscenes and fighting they showed a lot

AGoodODST · Feb 21, 2017

Such a good looking game. The wait until launch is so hard.

RampagingSoul · Feb 21, 2017

Can't wait... Game still looks great.

iskeledz · Feb 21, 2017

There's no way that's 1080p. It's blurry as fuck.
EDIT: Sorry for being an idiot, it's 900p.

TyMiles2012 · Feb 21, 2017

I still can't get over how beautiful the grass is!

Game's 900p on Switch.

Hoo-doo · Feb 21, 2017

There has to be compression going on or some weird scaling, because those shots look pretty terrible at 1080p.

Holy shit. It's out next Friday. That crept up on me.

SinCityAssassin · Feb 21, 2017

Obligatory 4/20 reference for that first screenshot.

JetSetRadio · Feb 21, 2017

A bit rough but I'll take it.

My favorite is this one:

I love he sunset.

The game is running at 900p in docked mode, so it's probably the latter.

Do they sell 900p TV's? They totally should.

doop_ · Feb 21, 2017

Game files might have been leaked on 4chan apparently

There are probably some weird cheap-ass LCDs out there that do. I actually remember the old trick of those manufacturers advertising that they were compatible with 1080p sources, even when the resolution of the screen was 768p.

FantasticMrFoxdie · Feb 21, 2017

Hot fire

can already tell its easy contender for GOTY right here

Xdrive05 · Feb 21, 2017

Looks great! It's a little fuzzy with the 900p, but the AA helps a bunch to hide aliasing. I'll take the upgrade over 720p gladly.

The Game Awards trailer had some town and NPC stuff.

NOLA_Gaffer · Feb 21, 2017

Were these taken with the screenshot button or is that functionality not prepped for launch?

TanookiTom · Feb 21, 2017

Those screens are nice but damn what is wrong with those rock textures? I've been noticing that for a while now but in those screens some of the rock surfaces really look hideous, so fake and plasticky/silver instead of grey...

Pagusas · Feb 21, 2017

:-/ those look horrible. I'm excited for this, but these look really bad. The aliasing, the muddy textures. You guys would tear apart any other game that looked like this, but your drooling for this one.

Thats just a hot mess.

The woman's face is just mangled thanks to the poor resolution.

Nah, it just looks really good.

I don't understand why people are complaining about its blurriness. Looks sharp to me. It looks like it's using a pretty damn good method for anti aliasing as well which is why the edges looks really smooth. Maybe 2X sampling (Not sure which method) with FXAA?

EDIT: Maybe just FXAA. I was only looking at the first screenshot, but I can definitely see aliasing left over in other shots, but it still looks very good. There's only so much you can do with 4GB of shared memory.

This is an all-around terrible screenshot. Not only texture-wise, but geometry.

I think this game is going to shine when played on a 6 inch screen, not a 50+ inch TV.

mindatlarge · Feb 21, 2017

That first screenshot is breathtaking. Can't wait to see it in action.

Venfayth · Feb 21, 2017

I assume the levels are not properly being displayed as these screenshots look fairly washed out, I expect it to look a bit more vibrant on the Switch.

Yes, these high-res screenshots with developer camera and no UI, in some of them, were totally taken with the capture button.

Capture button is going to work at launch.

dampflokfreund · Feb 21, 2017

Well, there are some horrible textures here and there, but aside from that it really looks beautiful.

I wonder why there are so many low res textures, without them the game would look much, much better.

Agreed but at least it's the best looking version of the game. -_-

onemanasylum · Feb 21, 2017

Looks great!! Can't wait.

Coffinhal · Feb 21, 2017

I love how the mid-day lighting looks. Look at these sharp shadows and almost over-exposed grass mmmhT

This is more important than the best AA and these best textures when you play a game in motion

Keep in mind that this was a WiiU game first. Of course they used some slightly higher res textures for the Switch version, but making very high textures on lower geometry looks horrible. I can imagine a future Zelda exclusively for Switch will look multitudes better.

EDIT: Personally, I think this game has better fidelity than Dark Souls 3. It's just that they have completely different art styles.

Qwyjibo · Feb 21, 2017

It looks... ok. Then again, I don't expect mind-blowing visuals from Nintendo these days. Even more since I'll be playing this on Wii U.

Hopefully I find the time to play it all the way through before Mass Effect comes out.

BeeDog · Feb 21, 2017

If I had a Nintendo console I'd be soooo much over this game, looks incredibly fun both in trailers and stills like these. But the game would've looked much better if they stuck to a more cartoony graphical style akin to Wind Waker, the semi-realistic texture work doesn't do this game any favors.
