    Good game. Mechanics are solid. The attacking with the joystick is pretty good for what it is. Still wish there was dungeons.

    Not bad, a little too linear

    I really enjoy Zelda games and I have started playing games I didn't get to while growing up (like this one). This game is a little too linear for me to enjoy, while OoT and BotW allow much more freedom. Camera controls are a little annoying and took some getting used to.

    Great game but controls are a bit weird. Not a fan of the motion, button works but you have to hold L to move the camera.

    The old-fashion Zelda game. A lot of fun. The graphics somewhat holds up after the update. Buy it when 50% off.

    4/5 stars for a good, but not great Zelda game. However, the remaster is great and well-executed by Nintendo.

    This game is far better with button controls, as I was never the biggest fan of motion. Not perfect but good.

    It's More Frustrating than Fun

    I have played most Zelda games, but having never had a Wii, this one was skipped by. I was excited that I would finally get to experience this one. The idea of the motion controls was a big interest. Having had good experiences with motion games on the Switch, this seemed like it would be great. Having finally played it... I feel like I'm playing a different game than everyone else here. The controls are buggy and trying to play it without motion controls is nearly impossible. The story seems like it could be fun, but it's bogged down by pointless cut scenes. (There's a scene early on where the headmaster tells you to go talk to someone, and Zelda then adds that the headmaster could talk to them instead, so the headmaster agrees and says they will talk to the person. There's no point to this entire, unskippable exchange.) I've made it to the second temple, I know there's a lot more left but the buggy controls, constantly resetting the gyro, and the impossible camera control outside of using motion controls are making this a real slog.

    Frustrating gaming experience

    For the first time since I’ve payed Zelda I’ve been killed by a bat. Terrible controls and frustrating gaming experience. Two stars for the graphics and the story. Seems like it would be a great game but not interested in working around this mess. I play to escape from everyday problems not to be frustrated.
