When it comes to the Nintendo Switch, I’m very much in favor of spending the majority of my time in handheld mode. I’m not entirely sure why, but that’s just the way I like to play. But some games warrant the big screen experience, like Breath of the Wild, which I exclusively played on my TV. The sequel, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, is no exception.
But loading up post-apocalyptic Hyrule for another adventure and something felt… off. Turns out it was the analog sticks on the Joy-Cons, with Link responding rather erratically in response to commands. Not enough that it affected the game's action, but it was annoying enough to make me want to ditch the controllers for TV playthroughs.
