The Legend of Zelda Breath Of The Wild is now finally available in all regions on Switch and Wii U, and fans of the series can finally experience what seems to be one of the finest entries in the series. The game is also one of the most important titles of the Switch launch line-up and, as such, many are wondering how does it run on the console's different modes.

A few hours ago, Digital Foundry took an in-depth look at how Zelda Breath Of The Wild runs on Switch in both docked and undocked mode, highlighting most of the differences. As some have noted in the past few days, Zelda Breath Of The Wild suffers from some weird frame rate drops while playing the game in docked mode, with performance being much smoother while playing in undocked mode.
