    Fun game. Not worth the full price

    It’s not BOTW but it’s fun in its own way. It’s not links awakening either. Your not necessarily free to explore, it’s all a one way trip to the end of the game but it’s fun to figure out how to how to solve all the puzzles. Not worth the full price but a fun casual game in my opinion.

    Played through the original on Wii but was never a fan of the controls . The control's for this one is a big of a upgrade and it looks fantastic . Highly recommend.

    Definitely a great HD remaster... It looks great, and really adds a lot of improvements- most of which fans wanted- and is portable now as well! Totally recommend!

    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.

    Great game for older kids/adults. This review is based on that. Very difficult for younger kids.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Great FPS and enhanced visuals. Easy control and a trip down memory lane that doesn't disappoint. I was able to relive the intense moments and exquisite subtleties with my children. They enjoy this game and know what i felt when i was a kid

    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.

    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.
