In an impressive display of skill at the Nintendo Switch 2 Experience in Japan, a speedrunner named Ikaboze completed The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild in under 10 minutes. As reported by VGC, Ikaboze used an existing save file and faced the challenge of defeating the final boss, Ganon, without any equipment or knowledge of what Link had available. Despite the constraints of an unfamiliar controller and the noisy convention environment, Ikaboze managed to defeat Ganon in just seven minutes, prompting spontaneous applause from the gathered crowd.
Ikaboze shared his surprise at the attention, noting, "I was surprised by how many people had gathered. Staff were even filming on their smartphones. This was the first time anyone had completed the Breath of the Wild demo, and staff congratulated me."
The Nintendo Switch 2 Enhanced Edition of Breath of the Wild boasts improved visuals and performance, along with achievements and integration with the new "Zelda Notes" service through the Nintendo Switch Online app. Owners of the original Switch version can upgrade to these new features for a $10 fee. Additionally, subscribers to Nintendo Switch Online and the Expansion Pack can access upgrade packs for both Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom at no extra cost.
For those interested in the pricing of Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games without upgrading, here's a quick rundown:
Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders, which began on April 24, are priced at $449.99 and have seen high demand. Nintendo has warned U.S. customers that release date delivery is not guaranteed due to this overwhelming interest.
