How many fps is Zelda?

- I've not played the Wii U version of Zelda. Only Switch.

I appreciate you having made the comparison, but assumed you were referring to the wiiU version because, frankly, my experience hasn't been anything like yours. This is a pickle. Can our experiences of the same game on the same hardware really differ so greatly? I suppose the point at which slowdown or reduced framerate becomes an issue is subjective, but I haven't had any game-breaking frame reduction AT ALL...

Yeah, that didn't happen for me. Death Mountain has remained issue free. In fact, the slow-down you describe has happened precisely ONCE, it seemed entirely randomly in a grassy area, and didn't affect my enjoyment of the game at all. I am, however, open to accept that it has happened more frequently to you - could it possibly be something along the lines of the switch choosing that moment to carry out an auto-update or some-such?

Breath of the Wild is easily one of the greatest games I've ever played, and comfortably the better of these two titles, but it feels like whenever I point out bits of it I don't like I'm just getting told I'm wrong.
Well, that is absolutely the point of the thread - to point out what works and doesn't work in comparison of both games. Also, I totally appreciate that your view is balanced and that you enjoy both - I can't wait to play Horizon!
