The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild still looks impressive to this day, considering the hardware it has been developed for, but it definitely cannot compare to how it can look with certain mods available on PC.

A new 8K resolution video put together by Digital Dreams shows how breathtaking the game looks with some mods that enhance visuals, such as the latest version of the Complete RT shader by NiceGuy, an advanced screen space ray tracing shader that lets users add global illumination with effects like Diffuse Illumination and Specular Reflection, ambient occlusion and glossy reflections to any game.

With a gorgeous world filled with seemingly infinite possibilities, it’s impossible not to recommend The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The long delays and wait has resulted in an incredibly polished freeform experience unlike any open world game I’ve ever played before. Even after making the credits roll, I know there are shrines and side quests out there still waiting for me – and I can’t wait to go back.
