We don’t often hear much about the game engines behind the latest Nintendo releases, but today is a little different with some news about the new Switch title The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to dataminer OatmealDome<\/a> (via GoNintendo<\/strong><\/a>), Link’s sequel adventure is apparently running on a Nintendo engine iteration unofficially dubbed “ModuleSystem”, and is the same build powering newer Switch releases like Splatoon 3<\/a> and Nintendo Switch Sports<\/a> (& utilising AMD’s FSR1 spatial upscaler tech<\/a>).<\/p>\n

“The best name we have for it so far is \u201cModuleSystem\u201d…in terms of the [Tears of the Kingdom] internals, it looks quite different compared to Breath of the Wild.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
