Has anyone mentioned that the gamepad doesn't seem to be used at all in the game? Because it seems like it isn't.

Yeah, I noticed that. I thought the gamepad would be used to speed up switching between all those weapons, and popping potions. Having to enter into a menu all the time kinda takes you out of the experience.

 

I read somewhere that the map is also not in the gamepad, but we saw the map in the gamepad when Aonuma showed it for the first time 2 years ago, could possibly this means that they are trying to not give any advantage to the WiiU version compared to the NX one? Could this mean NX does not have a gamepad with a screen? It sounds really weird to me.
