The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Design

Full-Size Handheld Experience

Compared with standard Joy-Con controllers, the Split Pad Pro provides larger grips and controls that feel closer to a conventional console gamepad.

The ergonomic design is particularly useful during longer sessions of games such as:

• The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
• Action & Adventure Games
• RPGs
• Racing Games
• Platformers
• Fighting Games
• Shooters

Large Analog Sticks

The full-size analog sticks offer a larger control surface than standard Joy-Con sticks, providing a familiar gamepad-style feel for:

• Character movement
• Camera control
• Exploration
• Aiming
• Driving

This makes them particularly useful for large open-world adventures and games requiring frequent camera movement.

Traditional D-Pad

The left controller features a traditional cross-style D-Pad rather than the separate directional buttons used on a standard left Joy-Con.

This provides familiar directional control for:

• Platformers
• Fighting Games
• Retro Games
• 2D Games
• RPGs
• Menu Navigation

Assignable Rear Buttons

The Split Pad Pro includes assignable rear buttons, giving players convenient access to additional controls while maintaining their normal grip.

Supported button functions can be assigned using the controller's built-in controls, providing additional flexibility for different games.

Turbo Function

Built-in Turbo functionality enables rapid repeated inputs for supported buttons.

This can be useful for games that require frequent button presses and can be configured directly through the controller without additional software.

Direct Nintendo Switch Connection

The two controller halves attach directly to the Nintendo Switch's side rails.

Because they communicate and receive power through the console:

• No Bluetooth pairing is required
• No internal controller batteries are required
• No separate charging is required
• No wireless setup is necessary

Simply attach the Split Pad Pro to a compatible Nintendo Switch for handheld gameplay.

Specifications

Compatibility

Designed for:

• Nintendo Switch
• Compatible Nintendo Switch games supporting Handheld Mode

Important Feature Limitations

The HORI Split Pad Pro focuses on ergonomics, larger controls, rear buttons, and Turbo functionality rather than reproducing every feature of standard Nintendo Joy-Con controllers.

The Split Pad Pro does not include:

• Wireless / Bluetooth connectivity
• HD Rumble
• Motion controls / gyro
• NFC / amiibo scanning
• IR Motion Camera

Games that require these specific features may require standard Joy-Con controllers or another compatible controller.

Handheld Mode Note

The Split Pad Pro is primarily designed to operate while physically attached to the Nintendo Switch in Handheld Mode.

The left and right controllers do not operate independently as wireless Joy-Con replacements.

Separate HORI attachments are available for certain wired configurations, but such accessories should not be assumed to be included with this listing unless they are physically present in the individual package.

Nintendo Switch Lite Note

The Nintendo Switch Lite has integrated controls and does not feature detachable Joy-Con side rails. Therefore, the Split Pad Pro cannot attach directly to a Switch Lite for standard handheld use.

Important Note – Open Sealed

This product is listed as Open Sealed, meaning the original packaging has been opened.

Before publishing or sale, verify the individual unit's cosmetic condition, left and right controller pieces, exact Zelda edition/artwork, included accessories and documentation, packaging condition, and warranty details.
