To play in multiplayer mode, all you need to do is open the game map and click the left thumbstick. You will get a prompt asking you if you want to play in multiplayer mode and can select yes.

After that, it is all very traditional for the Switch. Just turn on the second remote, pair it with the console by attaching it to the console itself if you need to, and you are good to go.

The game will switch into a split-screen mode, and each character can move around the world independently, allowing you to take on different mini-missions within the broader quests.

The maximum number of players in multiplayer mode is two, so if you have more guests than that around you will need to do it the old-school way, and play until you die.
