Nintendo has released version 1.8.0 of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, introducing significant updates for both the original Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.
Nintendo Switch 2 Enhancements
With the Nintendo Switch 2’s launch imminent, this update ensures Breath of the Wild is optimized for the new hardware. Players can expect smoother frame rates, faster load times, and enhanced resolution and textures. Additionally, the game now supports HDR (High Dynamic Range) when played on compatible displays, offering improved image contrast and brightness.
New Language Support
Version 1.8.0 adds support for the Portuguese (Brazil) system language setting. While the game’s text will appear in Portuguese, voice content will default to English, as Portuguese voiceovers are not available.
General Improvements
Beyond these major updates, Nintendo has addressed several other issues to enhance the overall gameplay experience on both the original Switch and Switch 2 platforms.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild remains a cornerstone of the Zelda franchise, and these updates ensure it continues to deliver an exceptional experience for players on both current and next-generation Nintendo consoles.
