The latest update for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has just released and gamers are already reporting in some major improvements to their game play experience. Update 1.1.1 is a simple update, really.
Patch 1.1.1 for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a must have for Switch owners.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild received a new update earlier, version 1.1.1, which was reported to improve frame-rates on the Switch version.
Some already conducted a few tests on the Nintendo Switch to generally favourable results, but no one bothered to check the Wii U version, until now. In its recent analysis, Digital Foundry ran through the areas notorious for having frame-rate drops on both consoles, including the Switch’s handheld mode.
Kakariko Village, and Korok Forest, two areas where the game dropped frames constantly before the patch on the Switch, now thankfully run a lot closer to 30fps. Drops in 20s that happened in some cases were also eliminated.
This was also done without lowering the resolution further, which is something that should please those sensitive about image quality.
As for the Wii U, the version that runs at the lowest resolution and has the worse performance across almost all cases, has sadly not seen any upgrades. Things varies from being slightly improved, to being almost identical, according to the site.
Hopefully a future patch will improve things even further.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild update smooths frame rate in trouble spots according to players.
For an open-world game, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild doesn’t have a lot of glitches. Sure there’s the odd one here and there, but they’re few and far between.
Nintendo is releasing a patch today, presumably to smooth out any kinks. The patch notes for Ver. 1.1.1 are extensive. I’ve listed them below.

NeoGAF users who have downloaded the update are reporting that Korok Forest, where the frame rate tends to get a bit hairy, is now much more stable.
The patch will download automatically on both the Wii U and Switch when you boot up the game from the Home menu.
