Funnily, the UI is actually identical between both games and the touch screen is never used unless you move the game entirely to the gamepad. It’s because of the Switch version that they went away from the touch controls. In the end you have a game UI that isn’t optimized for either platform lol

Glad you’re enjoying it so far! It was a bit weird for me at the beginning, but the game gradually grew on me, to the point of becoming my favorite Zelda game. I’m also a massive fan of the soundtrack, and that includes the way the game utilizes long periods of silence
