A The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild speedrunner achieved an extraordinary feat at the Nintendo Switch 2 Experience in Japan, where playtime was limited to just 10 minutes. As reported by VGC, Japanese content creator Ikaboze managed to beat the final boss, Ganon, in just seven minutes, using an existing save file without prior knowledge of Link's equipment. Ikaboze humorously described the challenge as "defeating the final boss while tied up completely naked and with all my equipment removed." The crowd's spontaneous applause marked the impressive accomplishment, which was even more remarkable given Ikaboze's use of an unfamiliar controller and the noisy convention environment.
Ikaboze expressed his surprise at the gathered crowd and the staff's enthusiastic response, noting it was the first time anyone had completed the demo for the Nintendo Switch 2 Enhanced Edition of Breath of the Wild. This version boasts improved visuals and performance, achievements, and support for the new "Zelda Notes" service in the Nintendo Switch Online app. Owners of the original Breath of the Wild on the Switch can access these enhancements through a $10 upgrade pack. Additionally, both Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom upgrade packs are available at no extra cost to Nintendo Switch Online and Expansion Pack subscribers.
For those interested in the pricing of Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games without upgrading, here's a list of costs in the U.S.:
Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders began on April 24, priced at $449.99, and were met with overwhelming demand. Nintendo has since warned U.S. customers who pre-ordered through the My Nintendo Store that release date delivery might not be guaranteed due to the high volume of orders.
