Some players enjoy the story and appreciate the game's portability and improved frame rate. However, a few find the gyro controls unnecessary and the game too difficult for younger players.

    Great rerelease overall. Nintendo really should have rmphasized how great the new quality of life features are, unfortunate that one of the better one is locked behind an Amiibo paywall.

    The game play is really good. I like it better than BOTW, but the use remotes gets really annoying. I’d rather push buttons. And the constant resetting of the accuracy of the remote gets old.

    I've been so impressed with Best Buy. After service assistance has been five stars. The speed at which they ship items, to include free shipping, will keep me coming back.

    Never finished the Wii version (on the last fight), and now my nephew has it in NC. Now I use that as an excuse to get this version, even though I was going to buy it anyway.

    Stickers?

    I wish BestBuy would stop putting those giant stickers on their products when customers do an in store pick up. These stickers can break the shrink wrap when pulling them off.

    This isn't among the best or top three Zelda games, but it is a must-have for any Zelda fan or for anyone who would like to get into Zelda or has played one before.

    A great alternative to breath of the wild. It’s simpler for younger players too. Of course all zeldas are worth playing. But this is another great addition.

    Skyward done right. Fi was very annoying but they made her tolerable. I even shed a tear at the end because I forgot how great of an assistant she was. :O

    Not too much difference from the original imo. If you never played the original then this is a good one to play. If you’ve played the original you can probably skip out and not feel like you missed anything.

    OK but game controls need work.

    The controls are extremely clumsy. The save system is absolutely terrible! However the graphics are nice. This NOT an open world game. One is forced along the story line, rather than "discovering it". Be prepared to be patient.

    This is a pretty cool port. I know this game is very hot or miss with fans due to the OG handholding functions, but it is a nice “beginning” to the franchise.

    This might be the only Zelda game that I have played, but never finished. Once I get time, I intend to play all the way through, but for now, my kids are enjoying it.
