But it's still sensationalized. It could instead be something like:
"[Zelda] Performance on the Switch is Passable and Impressive under the Limitations of Hardware"

This is up to personal interpretation. Some would certainly argue that calling it "impressive" is still sensationalizing it. There is no clear line that should not be crossed when it comes to this sort of thing.
To be honest I think that the burden of this sort of issue lies with the reader. If you read "small miracle" in the original title and are able to correctly interpret the meaning of that ("The game runs despite hardware limitations"), there isn't really any problem with that. If you read it to mean "The switch is literally a miracle, Nintendo programmers have done something previously thought impossible," it's on you for failing to understand the intent of the author. The author should not have to police their language just because someone somewhere does not understand hyperbole or metaphor.
