- Vanilla 1.60: Link stands on Dueling Peaks at sunset. The grass beneath him looks crisp, but the bridge below is soft. The silhouettes of enemies are jagged. The water reflections are slightly pixelated.
- Extra Quality 1.60: The same scene. You can count the planks on the bridge below. The reflection of the sun on the water is perfectly smooth. The fur of a distant bear is discernible. The volumetric fog no longer "bands" into visible layers.
Dynamic Resolution & FPS: Mods allow for a dynamic 60 FPS experience and higher internal resolutions (up to 4K on compatible hardware), bypassing the Switch's native 900p limit. botw update 160 extra quality

- New armor or weapons
- Frame rate toggle (still capped at 30 FPS)
- Pet dogs or horse teleport (that’s the Ancient Saddle from DLC)
