The boot screen of China region Switch games is not a "clean" black screen, but rather one with a "Healthy Gaming Advice" as required by the law.
This is how the logo might look like in practice.

The only current implementation of the CADPA rating in a Switch game is the one in Rabbids Adventure Party, a current China exclusive.
However, the icon is displayed in the lower right of the title screen and not during the boot screen.

BOTW was already available in Chinese worldwide back in Feb 2018, but this would be for the official release in China, which would definitely have contents censored compared to the international release, but was also rumored to have Mandarin voice acting.

It's actually a bit sad honestly. BOTW has been sent in approval since July 2019 and still hasn't been approved because of the struggles with getting it passed the censors. Nintendo wanted to put efforts officially into the Chinese market but the policies aren't helping.
