As someone with no connection to the original, I can't tell you if it's a good remake. HOWEVER I can say that as a game, It's pretty good. I would recommend this to first timers of the Zelda series, I feel this game perfectly represents what a Zelda game is while making things simple for newcomers. It has lots of charm and I really like the art style. The game has a few technical issues though, frame rate is inconsistent, found a few glitches and sometimes there a blur effect which is odd? But still this is a solid game to get for your Switch.
