Screenshots show the Switch version of Zelda has an increased draw distance.
A handful of screenshots have provided another glimpse into the differences between The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on Nintendo Switch and Wii U.
The comparison gallery below was compiled using images spotted by NeoGAF. It's important to note some of these Wii U E3 screenshots show different times of day or a slightly different camera angle, but the overall framing match up with the pictures from the Switch version. The screens clearly show an increased draw distance on Switch along with other tiny differences. It's possible Nintendo has tweaked the Wii U version since these were taken.
Last week, Nintendo outlined the differences between Switch and Wii U versions in a statement to IGN last week. Both have the same content and the same framerate, and the only major difference being the Switch version is rendered at 900p (with higher quality sounds) versus the Wii U's 720p. Watch the video below to see the E3 2016's Wii U build versus the Switch footage we captured at the Nintendo Switch hands-on event.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will be released on both Nintendo Switch and Wii U on March 3. A special Master Edition will be released for the Switch version that includes a Master Sword of Resurrection figure, a Sheikah Slate Carrying Case, a Sheikah Eye Collectible Coin, a Relic of Hyrule: Calamity Ganon Tapestry and more.
