    Amazing game the only time I put it down is to do chores and take care of stuff and then I pick it right back up on handheld or on the dock.

    The visual effects are not that great compared to the legend of Zelda breath of the wild. But it is a fun story video game. I bought this for my husband's birthday (since he is Zelda fan) and he loved it because he had completed the other Zelda game.

    I love this remake of Zelda. The game sucks you in and easily lose track of time playing. The controls are easy and the gameplay is nice.

    Great HD update to a Legend of Zelda game that is just fun to play. It’s nice to be able to play with the joy-con or a pro style controller.

    Really enjoying the game. The controls take a little bit of time to get used to. The game has perhaps the best dungeons of any Zelda game.

    I never played the wii original. So far this game is pretty good, however the button controls do take some time to get used to. The original required motion controls and this one was updated to feature both motion and traditional button controls.

    A great port of a great game. It's not a full remaster but more or less just a port, nothing wrong with that though.

    A fantastic rendition of a Wii classic with a ton of QoL! Must have for Switch owners, as it takes advantage of the systems capabilities.

    The game and story itself are great, but this is a perfect example of terrible controls. You would think that the switch would make it better but most of the time I'm just frustrated.
