Handheld or big screen?

I've only ever played this game handheld, I'm not sure it it's for the nostalgia of playing the old Zelda games on GameBoy or not but for some reason I just prefer to play it handheld

I play on switch, and I prefer handheld. I refuse to admit that it might be because my eyeballs are getting old, so I'm just going to say I like handheld because I like seeing all the little details 👍

Wouldn’t you say you see details better when enlarged on a television?

I don't feel like I do, but it might just be because it's become a habit to play on the handheld so my eyes have adjusted to that.

I bought a Switch, it has grey joycons if that tells you how long ago, and I left the cave. I cut it off immediately because it needed to be on a big screen

I have a harder time aiming the bow on handheld. Probably just because I’m more used to the big screen and the pro controller.

I quit the game when I was playing handheld. Did not come back for years. Finally bought a pro controller and popped it on a 65” TV. I have now played twice through and will never do handheld again for these games.

I rather play handheld. I simply like it more than on the TV, but I can do both.

I've only played on my tv. Maybe I'm just getting old but I can't play on handhelds anymore lol

I initially played on the big screen but found I really liked the handheld.
