Rumours about the so-called Nintendo Switch Pro have been hotting up for a while now, with leaks suggesting that the four year-old console is in for some pretty exciting graphical upgrades. And we may have just been given our best glimpse yet at what it could be capable of, courtesy of a stunning video of Zelda: Breath of the Wild upgraded to a whopping 8K.

The video (below) shows a modded version of the game, with the graphics upscaled to four times the current Switch's maximum output of 1080p. And, spoiler alert, it makes Breath of the Wild (one of the best Nintendo Switch games) look, well, breathtakingly wild.
