Got the kids a Switch OLED for Christmas. Left Joycon drifts out of the box. Calibrating does nothing. Is Nintendo still just this bad/cheap with their Joycons after all these years?

It's very hit or miss. My original joycons purchased in 2018 are still working for me.

That being said most of my gaming time is done with the Pro Controller.

The Switch joycons are the worst Nintendo controllers since the N64.

It's shameful to see that when Sega already used hall effect joysticks for the Saturn and Dreamcast controllers in the 90s.

Nintendo understands how they f*cked up the joy cons so they let you mail in bad ones and they send you back good ones for free.

The more I advance in TOTK, the more I'm liking it. A lot of the early limitations that were frustrating are actually part of the game, like not ever having enough weapon slots. I went back to Lookout Landing and met the big Korok who increases your weapon inventory in exchange for seeds.

I wouldn't say the game is hard per se, but you have to be intentional about your materials before going into a temple. I finally venture off to Rito village and did the sky wind temple, and barely had any cold resistance meals in my inventory, so for parts of that wind temple I had to just gut it out and run in the unbearable cold losing hearts every few seconds, then eat whatever apples or meat I had to recover. Managed to get through it still.
