    Great HD remake of the original Wii game. Provides a lot of quality of life changes that allow you to enjoy the game more. Motion controls are now optional.

    The graphics and everything look really great. The camera is very difficult to control. Something obviously did not translate over well from the Wii version.

    What can I say? It’s zelda. It’s the switch. It belongs on the shelf next to the other zelda games you’ve collected over the decades.

    Great story line, controls are a little frustrating. I tried using the button controls but couldn’t get the hang of using the sword that way so I switched to using motion controls. It’s a little better to control but not ideal for me. Still think it’s worth playing.

    My son loves this game it’s easy for him to play, 7year old. The controls allow for motion controller or button and the bosses are not overly difficult.

    Continuing the Zelda series. The story line is pretty good, but the number of conversation cut scenes really slow down the game play. The weapon controls are also different than previous versions and the camera angles seem to need a lot of adjusting.

    Excellent title for any rpg fan, especially fangs of other Zelda games. It’s a bit difficult to get used to the controls being swapped from the Wii version but after that it’s great.

    I thought that this game was an amazing game it had everything and I was never really stuck in any parts because it was so direct and you can explore everything and anything. It one player and I live how every character had a place and purpose in the game.

    While I played the original on the Wii, I was surprised at just how much of this game that I forgot. The story is a lot more linear than BOTW, but I've never minded that in the Zelda series. It's a classic Zelda tale that introduced some cool elements and the Switch version looks gorgeous, (except for overheads of the trees, I do wish they'd have given those a little more attention. Here's what the trees looks like from above: X X X). My only other qualm is from TV mode. I do wish there was a better solution for centering the joy con. The need to push a button after I pull out a bow or slingshot really interrupts the flow. So a few nit-picks on an overall great game from the early part of the 21st century. Should you buy it for nostalgia's sake? Yes. If you're expecting a game like BOTW, give this one a pass and wait for that sequel instead.

    Haven’t had a lot of time to play it but the controls are nice in handheld mode, the graphics are beautiful, and of course the sound is great.

    This has been a good remake for the switch. It took some getting used to, as I was used to Breath of the Wild controls, and playing on a switch lite, this is a learning curve. But overall, a great return to a past Zelda.
