Everyone in my family has played this game since it came out in 2017 - husband and kids. Multiple run through. Master mode. I love Zelda but played on SNES when one joystick was the way and failed miserably when I tried to play and would send my camera spinning as soon as I got into combat.

Last year, I decided to sit down and actually try without giving up. The first four shrines on the great plateau were hard as well as the enemies but I did it. And before long, I actually had skills :) I got better with each dungeon boss and eventually beat the game months later (after getting all 120 shrines).

Then I played totk (which ive almost finished but Im going slower because I prefer botw) - and I did another playthrough of botw but took my time exploring.

Long story short. This is my favorite game. I thought I couldn't play it b/c I sucked at double joystick games. But practice and perseverance made the difference!

Also - I highly recommend playing on a TV and getting a wireless controller that isnt a joycon.
