Bought this at launch hoping that I'd have more fun with it than I did 10 years ago (I stopped after about 2 hours into it because of the controls).

I got about 20 hours into it and I can now say with confidence that IN MY OPINION this game just isn't fun.

I dislike almost everything about this game. The characters on Skyloft, the graphics, the music, the emptiness of the hub world of Skyloft, the dungeons (this game is literally "Oops! All dungeons!" so if you were one of those that disliked Breath of the Wild because of the lack of dungeons, I guess you'll have a blast with this), the antagonist, Link/Zelda's visual designs, the motion controls and even the updated controls. It feels like a straight up chore while playing this game.

I haven't played the CD-i Zelda games or the DS games but out of all of the other console/handheld Zelda games, this one is the flat out worst.

As far as I know, there is nothing new on the switch version versus the wii version except for the button controls to allow switch light owners to play. I never played this game during the wii days, but I rented this switch version from GameFly and I returned it without even finishing. My joycons kept disconnecting so the motion controls were quite painful. The button controls were better if a little awkward. Overall though, I found the game to be a bit boring and bland so I moved on to other things. Obviously just my opinion, but I'm not a fan of this game.

I'm doubtful we'll see much lower of a price for BF, but will someone be running a discounted price + a b2g1 free tho?...
Always possible. I'm waiting for BF for any games. GameStop and BestBuy usually run some decent deals.

Seems like a good price. Is this iteration worth buying if you've already got the Wii version? (sorry if it's a dumb question)
Not a dumb question, and no it's not. Unless your WiiU is no longer hooked up, there's no point.

Gotta be the worst Zelda game ever made, or at least as bad as Zelda II.

Loved Zelda II. I actually never got into Majora's Mask. I don't like time limits on games.

Sometimes I wish I didn't play these games when they came out so I can play them again. I had this on Wii to be honest they should have done a Nintendo Online Wii like N64 and include these games as well, otherwise it's still OK if you never played these but charging full price is crime, $19.99 would have made more sense to draw more people into zelda frenchise.

I agree. It's more of a $15-25 game considering how old it is, what's been done to it, and just the general reception.

Majora's Mask has a time limit? What happens if you can't finish it.

I'm having a blast with it, but at some point the back and forth does get a little too repetitive.
Back and forth of what?

If you don't have the amiibo, you have to go to a statue to travel to the sky. From the sky you fly to the other gate or you go back to the town if you need something. You have to do this a lot, which is kind of annoying, but nothing you don't do in other games.

But it's not like botw where you can fast travel to other shrines super fast

Do you have to have a game fly account to purchase? Every time I click checkout I just get a popup that says forbidden. I've used GameFly Trials before, so they may be mad at me because I canceled a fee on my credit card because I was one day late to cancel after a trial or something.

This is still one of the weaker Zelda games. I thought I'd give it a shot again, and see if I would enjoy it now, but nope.
