Get a $49 Nintendo Switch 2 controller upgrade, just in time for Zelda: Ocarina of Time’s remaster — sure to have the tools to defeat Ganondorf with these top wireless gamepads from 8BitDo, GameSir and others

After a long wait, the much-awaited release of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remaster is upon us, and those who were lucky enough to get their hands on one of the limited edition consoles, or anyone who bought a copy of the game, are waiting with bated breath for the game to go live. With a Nintendo Switch 2 you can of course play on the go, but for the best experience you can’t beat plugging the handheld console into the dock and connecting the console to a big screen.

You have several options to wirelessly play your Nintendo Switch 2 console from the couch. You can either detach and use the Joy-Con controllers bundled with the Switch 2, or you can opt for a more traditional controller. Here are some of the best options for controllers that simply plug into the Switch and have you playing in no time.

Pair the controller up to the Nintendo Switch 2 and enjoy hassle-free wireless connectivity during your gaming sessions. All these controllers get the job done. It is more of a subjective choice of shape, color, and type of joystick technology than TMR. You can go for the official Nintendo controller, or opt for something a little cheaper in price, but with identical functionality.
