i feel like this was probably initially only a wii u title. given that giving the player a weird tablet (to explain gamepad functionality) is kinda a trademark of a lot of wii u games

i believe there were some scrapped gamepad functionality from when botw was revealed so yeah i think youre right.
yeah this game was developed with the wii u in mind. I think the map and inventory was on the gamepad at one point before they decided to put it on the Switch.
