Similar to the Wii U, physical Switch games won't require a mandatory install. Then again the games are on carts and probably would have been a bit weird if they did.
Destructoid tested out Zelda:BotW and said the load times were pretty fast for initial boot up stuff.

Nintendo is also holding a Nintendo Direct-like episode on February 28th focusing on indie games being released this year for the Switch.

Gamespot also did some tests in regards to the tablet's battery and the sweet spot is around 3 hours for usage for Zelda which is what Nintendo was claiming for the game.
Quote:
Technology Editor Jimmy Thang played the game with a full charge on the screen's default brightness and got three hours and three minutes of battery life until the device keeled over. With a full charge and playing in airplane mode on full brightness, Reviews Editor Peter Brown got two hours and 50 minutes out of the console. Both figures come relatively close to Nintendo's three-hour claim.
If you're wondering how fast the Switch charges, Peter clocked a 49 percent charge after an hour in the dock.
