How many hours did you all spend in TOTK? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I had around 150 by the time I completed the game.

Bonus question: what percentage completion do you have?

I'm sitting on 50.5% right now.

TOTK performance on switch is not bad at all. I don't know where what perception came from. I haven't experienced any low frame rate issues after 100 hours.

That’s great to hear. I had heard complaints about dips down to like 15fps and just generally being a 30fps game at very low render resolution that still had trouble with stable frame times. But I haven’t actually played it so it could just be the usually internet complaining. Now that I think of it I heard performance complaints about BOTW too but never noticed any while playing myself.

I have for sure ran into performance issues during really demanding sections. I think the honest take is, as a switch game, the resolution and framerate are lower than if this was on Xbox Series X. At the same time, I think it's high enough that the game still looks great and quite stable. We aren't talking Pokémon Scarlet type constant frame drops for no reason. Performance issues were very rarely a concern - I think the game is well designed and it truly is something where a significant frame drop won't happen for multiple play sessions.
