- Is it worth it if I played Breath of the Wild?
- Yes for most players. It reuses the same Hyrule but adds sky islands, the Depths and the Ultrahand building system, so exploration feels new.
- Do I need to play Breath of the Wild first?
- Not strictly, but the story continues from it and many characters return. Playing the first game makes the plot clearer.
- Does it run better on Switch 2?
- Yes. On Switch 2 it holds a steadier frame rate and sharper image than on the original Switch.
