    Wow! I was really surprised how challenging this game would be. I thought is was a kids game. Controls took a bit to learn but adaptable. Plenty of hours of fun, challenging levels.

    Huge Zelda fan. Already own this game for the Wii, but wanted to have to option to play without motion controls. The updated Switch version did just that!

    Visually the game is great and the fully orchestrated soundtrack is a treat. However, game play is generally solid but can be marred by the motion controls. You'll get used to constantly resetting the gyro when using your accessories. It's definitely worth playing for the story and the excellent dungeon designs.

    Such a great game. The switch has a huge library of games now. So much fun to play this in Handheld mode. Can't wait for BOTW 2 but this game is a great placeholder until it comes out.

    Controls are still a little used to even if all buttons but it is enjoyable and fun. Couldn’t beat it the first time back in the day but now it’s a wonderful experience and good time.

    When it came out for the Wii, the motion controls put me off. Now I can lazily sit in my couch and flick away those Joysticks to get the job done. Other quality of life changes have been added to streamline the experience and the visuals have been upgraded to Full HD.

    Nintendo plus Zelda. What more can anyone ask for. Each progression of the Zelda series let you enjoy similar but yet better flow of story and gaming experience.

    Great remake - love to bring some of my youth back to life. Controls work just as crappy on the Wii as on the switch, thus love the handheld mode instead of the regular hand motions.

    I love all of the Zelda games. I do not play this particular game with the motion sensors on as it can be very frustrating, but is a great game to play without motion.

    I’ve always loved the legend of Zelda series and this remaster really makes the game feel a lot better than the original and would greatly recommend it if you haven’t played it.

    Probably one of the more controversial mainline Zelda games, but still a fun one. If you never got a chance to play it on the Wii and you like the Zelda series, it's definitely worth trying. Worlds apart from Breath of the Wild, so don't go in expecting anything remotely similar.

    Another great Zelda game, the quests and storyline are fun. My only complaint is the controls are a hot mess! At least you can recenter the controller by pressing Y. Though you have to do it a lot. It can be pretty frustrating and sometimes make game play difficult. Other than that, we love the game.

    Great game. One of the easier more straight forward Zelda games but as a fan of the franchise it’s a fun game. The switch motion controls handle much better than the wii version
