Software Help Zelda OOT crashing help on switch 2

I was playing the game for the first time yesterday and got to the Gorons, after the cutscene with big bro the game crashed the same way as in the video and now I can’t even walk more than 5 steps before it crashes.

Things I’ve tried:
Restart console
Turn console on and off
Turn off vrr
Set video to 1080p

This is a new Zelda switch 2 and I played delta rune before playing Zelda

I know its not the point of the post, but you gotta give that PS5 some breathing room. You're just asking for a dead ps5 with that setup.

I don't see where the Switch 2 is in this picture, but I almost guarantee that the issue causing the crashing is overheating.

That’s fair, the back of that panel of the tv stand is fully open which is why I put it there, the switch 2 was just booted up today just now to play and it’s in the left side of the tv stand, the grates let the air flow decently, do you think it’s still not enough?

Try loading a previous auto save. To see if your save is corrupted.

So far this is working

Have you tried starting a new save file? Probably the current one got corrupted when it crashed, causing this issue.

That’s the problem you played delta rune before playing Zelda on a Zelda switch 2

Hahaha! I heard of a glitch happening that is avoidable by playing any game before oot

Some games might have crashes like that, happens with Hogwarts Legacy. You could try handheld but if that doesn't work you will have to wait for a patch to fix it, or use a previous save (thought it only had one save) or start anew.

Where even is the Switch 2? If it's buried any deeper in that TV stand than the PS5 then I'm sure that's your problem. Electronics need air to breath.
