    I only got this because I refused to play a zelda game with motion controls on the wii. This game promised to allow regular controls but trust me when you play with these controls you will see how very annoying they are. Just watch a let’s play this is not worth the hassle.

    This is a great way to play a classic game. Props to nintendo for making this playable with or without motion controls. Pretty crappy that they hid the fast travel option behind a purchased amiibo though.

    I'm for games like this to be on sale more often by Nintendo/ Best Buy, and getting this for half MSRP is good and appreciated. Game is fun, glad it got ported to the Nintendo Switch.

    Good game brings back memories of playing this on the Wii. Seriously horrible control and the camera isn't good either. I'm enjoying this game but the control takes away from the experience. If I had it to do over would have passed on the Switch version. Could have been much better.

    The game is fun, however, the controls are so difficult and not easy to use. I wish if they made a remake, they'd have worked on that quite importan aspect of the game to make it better.
