The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

YouTube’s Master0fHyrule created a video comparing the loading times between the Switch and Wii U versions of Zelda: Breath of the Wild based on physical copies of the game. Switch appears to have a leg up on the initial loading and starting the quest, but Wii U seems to have a slight advantage when entering Shrines and restarting from death.

The Nintendo Minute crew has another episode to tide you over this week. For today’s video, Kit and Krysta play The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild bingo to celebrate the game’s launch alongside Switch. Watch it below.
