I am only interested in Zelda for Wii U if I don't have to use the Gamepad. The battery life at 3 hours just isn't enough and even playing something simple like Child of Light, the stupid red light starts blinking before I am done playing and I just don't like being limited by the controller's battery life.

My PS4 controller also runs out of battery too fast, but I have two of those, so I just switch to the other. I can't have two Gamepads and leave one always on charge while I use the other.

Also, I really liked the controls in Skyward Sword. The game's problem was that they were lazy in the design by having disconnected parts of the game world, rather than a big expansive world for players to explore and enjoy at their own pace. The things they did to make the over world more "dense" with stuff that needs to be done just made the game feel more linear. All those issues aside, the actual controls were so much better than past Zelda games.


I liked Skyward Sword's controls as well.
As a note, though, you can just play with the gamepad plugged in and there'll be no problem... or just charge it when you're not using it because I mean I don't know you but I doubt you have that many over 4 hour gaming sessions. I know I don't have time for that save a few particular ocassions.
Or turn the brightness down, I get at least four hours out of mine at the "3" level consistently.
