    Controversial, but still worth playing

    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.

    The motion controls have been way overhauled making this game so much more enjoyable than the original release. The button controls work flawlessly of thats more your thing as well

    Just as good as the original. New controls take a little time to get used to but once you get that down the game is great again

    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.

    I will always love all Zelda games. But this one is unique in the sense that it’s the story that started it all and the essential starting point of the series. Bravo!

    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.

    The case is pretty to have on display and the game itself runs smoothly. It is an older port so don't expect top tier graphics (2011 to be specific) but a fun and grabbing story.

    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

    As always, Zelda brings great play times with many riddles, puzzles, and challenges. The control for this game was unorthodox and it took some time to get used to it, though.

    This game was enjoyable on the Wii, but this version has some good quality of life improvements. Definitely enjoyed this game and great to see how the Zelda story began.

    Fun game to revisit on the Switch. Unfortunately, there's no way to really customize your controls, which are still clunky whether you play motion controls or button controls. 5 star game if they let you change the way you move the camera/swing your sword on button controls
