I am loving this game. Can't put it down, and I don't mind the fact that I'll have to start over when I get my Switch and the Switch version of the game on Friday.
I will say, its clear that the Wii U gamepad likely was meant to have a lot more features, probably meant to function as a complete second screen and not just a screen you can switch to, but the game proved to be far too intensive for the Wii U and would have hurt the framerate to keep anything actually happening on the Gamepad. And this I think is where there is a small shame. If the Wii U was more powerful, its hard not to imagine what else the second screen could have been used for. In particular, I've been thinking that with the amiibo Wolf Link support, perhaps they had intentions of a second player getting control of Wolf Link and being able to move around and attack freely with their own screen (much like Hyrule Warriors giving the second player the gamepad as their own screen). But this theoretical missing 2-player feature is easy to get past because everything else about the game is so damn perfect.
I think that when its time for Nintendo to get to work on a successor, they can let this title stand as the groundwork for another game or two, no need to build a new engine again from the ground up, the next games could just be more of this with a different map and story, and I would have no issue with that at all.
