It's amazing how casual people are with this particular spoiler.. That was a B I G ? for me, but now it's s p o i l e d ;'[
Many people avoid trailers for games they're 100% going to play, especially knowing how revealing trailers can be.
Good news: I specified that it's content from the trailer.

Lol, I went to check the trailer again and this is the first time I ever noticed them there

A patch that actually makes a difference! Just in time for the weekend.
Those people should avoid any and all threads with the name of the game in the title then.
Don't know what you guys think, but honestly, I think that the Switch version is a bad BotW port. All those framerate drops, low resolutions, bad textures,... Meanwhile, MK8 Deluxe will be 1080p and 60fps, vs 720p on Wii U. Mario Kart shows the technical differences between both console, while BotW doesn't.
Both Wii U and Switch version are almost equal, when there's a power difference between both consoles.
I hope Nintendo improves BotW even more, and the game takes all the advantages of the hardware's power. It would be great to see the Switch version running at 60fps and better textures by summer, and 1080p docked by the end of the year. That would be asking too much, but they could try to improve it as much as they could.
But be sure, that Nintendo will someday remaster the game to Full HD or 4K, with textures improved, and better framerate. For Switch 2 perhaps (with PS5 and Xbox 2 coexisting). When that day arrives, this game will look magical! Considering how well the game looks with graphic-packs in Cemu, imagine natively.
I need a Switch, I need to play this game now!

There is a spoiler that isn't a trailer in the first 5 seconds of the video.
I've played 65 hours and I don't have access to that red shield looking thing.
They don't have the tools. They just wanted to rush out a video before DF. Get clicks and all that.

1.11? More like 11/10!

He comes out and says the location of where to find certain objects. Definitely spoiler territory.

Nice to see improvements but I hadnt really a problem with slowdowns or blurry IQ so far. Im 30hrs in.

Then stay out of topics about this game. Seriously. I stayed off GAF for almost a week while playing Zelda, just for the odd chance to see any spoilers.
Heck I stayed off any image sharing sites as well. GAF spoiled A Link between Worlds ending twist for me during a Smash Bros speculation thread.
At least on Switch the framerate issues are waaaaaay overblown by some people as they are really isolated at some specific places and situations somethig quite far from a common issue while playing, and this is talking about docked version, undocked leaves those issues as something almost anecdotal.
I'm about 70 hours in and haven't had that goblin freeze issue, what triggers it?

Moblin ragdoll + weather effects seem to be culprit, if you find a camp of 3+ Moblins at Death Mountain, knocking them around might freeze the game for a second, also I once experienced it when one of them died and his loot went on fire.
Does DF really have zero competitors in producing frame-rate tests? Is it that hard to do? Surely an opportunity for someone.
I'd say it's likely, but they are at EGX atm, so it'll be likely be several days from now still.
You can do the frame rate analysis yourself by using the "." key on your keyboard, which moves the video forward one frame, if you really want to know. Youtube video runs at 30 fps so, doing this 30 times and counting the number of unique frames the game produces will give you your frames per second.
They use a proprietary program known as FPS GUI to perform analysis, developed in-house I believe.
They have a video on their channel explaining this, interesting stuff.

VG Tech uploads frame-rate tests too but I have no clue about the people and methods behind it, it's much smaller channel than DF for sure but they've provided some tests really fast.
I'll leave that to people with the proper tools, I'd be done counting those frames next week when the videos are already out, but that's interesting to know.

Or they just took more time to optimize.
Yeah, never do it for a whole minutes long video in that way! I did it twice for two different areas (Great Plateau and (location SPOILERS!)
Korok Forest

I am working on a full analysis of the switch version today, will be up later today/tomorrow morning.
Awesome, looking forward to it! Will you compare the two versions (pre- and post-patch)?
NXGamer

No, I have been doing in-depth tests on my channel and site for the past few years, I am looking at Zelda on switch for this weekend, will update in here once I have it on-line.
I also coveted the splatoon test at the weekend on Saturday morning, I try to he as fast as possible but I work full time, this is a side project for me.

Yes the forest that has been in EVERY single Zelda game except Wind Waker, Majora's Mask and handheld games

Please try to check if there are any graphical differences with the patch besides framerate, like shadows, LOD/draw distance/pop-in, texture resolution/filtering, etc.
I'm personally more interested if any of those changes occur in handheld mode.
What's your site? nxgamer.com?
boiled goose
good with gravy
Does this fix moblin freezes? That's biggest issue for me.

There's not really that big of an audience for that type of content, I'd imagine, to justify the purchase or installation of the needed equipment.
Ah, forgot about NXGamer, but yeah, there aren't many.
There is generally no context for what you see in the trailer. GameXplain though has a bad habit of spoiling lots of things with no warning right down to the damn thumbnail for their videos. I hate that so much. Knowing locations is one thing. What's in certain locations (when some areas might look similar at a glance) and what they lead to in a game about exploring is spoiling. So I think in this case warnings are and were warranted.
What context do you need? In the trailer you see the Master Sword and in the background the Deku Tree
How do you know that's the Deku Tree?
Guys I didn't know the sword in the pedestal in this Zelda game was the Master Sword and that the forest it was in (with all the koroks in it) was the Korok Forest. Spoiled!
C'mon. It's only a spoiler if you haven't watched the trailer. And if you were concerned enough about spoilers to not watch the trailer, then you probably shouldn't be watching performance analysis videos as they always show a variety of locations/scenarios from the actual game.

Well for one thing you can see and hear it talking in the trailer.
Also, it's surrounded by Koroks, just like the one in Wind Waker.
Don't even pretend that's a Wind Waker spoiler.

A tree with a mouth and Eyebrows... hmm I wonder.
Wait the Deku tree is in Wind Waker?! Dude, spoilers.
If you know enough about Zelda that a mention of it's name is a spoiler to you, then you know enough about Zelda to know that a giant tree with eyebrows and a mouth is probably the Deku Tree.
Yeah, that could be literally any sword.
Yup. I mean what with all the other swords you pull out of stones in mystical settings in Zelda games over the years. I mean how are we even sure it's a sword from the trailer? Could be a hatstand.

Any thread you make ought to just include a disclaimer for spoilers by default so we can have a discussion about the topic rather than folks going on about potential spoilers for ten pages because they saw a location or character from initial trailer. It's honestly the best way to handle it.
That aside, it looks much better. Was very happy to feel the changes when playing last night. I hope they can perfect it soon.
Ive always understood to a degree, but it's getting ridiculously obnoxious lately. Best to just include a disclaimer warning on any zelda thread to get it out of the way.
At some point, you guys need to take some personal responsibility if you're this sensitive to spoilers. You should not expect to watch videos of this game and not possibly see something in them you haven't seen in the game. Stop blaming everyone else because you personally decided to click on something and watch it.
Because you can literally see his mouth move as just as he starts to talk to Link in the trailer

Yes I always try to cover that with these types of updates.
Yes, that is my site.

To be fair, in the first like 5 minutes of the game, you come across a regular old rusted sword that is stuck in a rock just like that
