It is rumored that Nintendo may be working on an improved version of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for Switch 2.
If you remember, last year at Gamescom, it was claimed that Nintendo showed an improved version of Breath of the Wild on Switch 2. At that time, the successor to the Switch was introduced behind closed doors and it was reported that one of the games shown was an improved version of the 2017 Zelda game. Immediately after this first news, it was claimed that Switch 2 could run Breath of the Wild at 60 FPS at 4K resolution. While we assumed this was just a tech demo to showcase the successor’s capabilities, well-known SEGA/Atlus sensation Midori has confirmed that Nintendo is indeed working on an improved BOTW Switch 2 version. ı He suggests that.
This is an enhanced version of Breath of the Wild. Breath of the Wild’s codename is U-King. For Switch 1 ports, Nintendo likes to add on the suffix -S to a game’s codename, but this one has a -O suffix which they have never used before. I think this is for the successor.

The leaker wrote on X yesterday, “There is a project at Nintendo codenamed U-King-O. “This may be related to rumors about the codename of the next Nintendo console,” he wrote. However, some also state that the code name of Switch 2 is “Muji”. On top of all this, user X skipper93653 It was stated that the codename “U-King” belonged to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and the “O” suffix had not been used by Nintendo before. This suggests that the “O” suffix might be for the Switch successor.
Although it hasn’t been confirmed in any way, we can see that Nintendo is working on a BOTW remake for its next console. Nearly all Wii U games (with the exception of the much-requested Twilight Princess and Wind Waker) have since been ported to the original Switch. Honestly, we’d like to see Nintendo release a version of BOTW Switch 2 running at 60 FPS at 4K resolution. On the current Switch, the game runs at 30 FPS at 900p in TV mode and 30 FPS at 720p in handheld mode.
What do you think about this? Will Nintendo bring BOTW to its next console? Would you buy it? Let us know in the comments.
