The Controller Pro is also better adjusted for the Zelda experience on Switch, rather than the original Joy-Cons.

It offers a more comfortable grip for long gaming sessions, and the buttons are placed so it becomes easier to switch between fighting and exploring actions in the game, rather than accidentally pressing two buttons at once.

As for the Zelda: TotK pro controller price tag, its preorder is listed for $74.99 on retainer websites such as ShopTo and GameStop.
