@fb01: No, usually you can't buy the Wii U without the Gamepad (and honestly, I would really recommend using the Gamepad and playing other titles as well - after you've finished BotW, that is - because there are many great games for the Wii U).
Unlike the Wii U, the Switch supports GameCube controller input for just about any regular game as long as you can make do without a ZL-equivalent shoulder button and the home button. You'd have to play through Breath of the Wild without using your shield, for example.
If you play a lot of local multiplayer games, than yes, WiiU Pro Controller is worth it. When the virtual console officially launches, WiiU Pro Controller will be worth it. Today, it is not. The game pad layout makes sense due to the big touch screen in the middle.
Splatoon 2 controller options: Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. As shown in Nintendo's demo of Splatoon 2 mode Salmon Run, the Switch Pro Controller will also work to control the game. Meaning you'll still be able to aim by physically moving your gamepad in addition to the right analog stick.

The GamePad's display contents are rendered on the Wii U itself and stream wirelessly as video to the GamePad. The GamePad also supports near-field communications (NFC). The Wii U pro controller is compatible with supported Wii U games but is not supported by Wii games.
The Switch Pro Controller has similar gyro controls and Steam recently added full support for Nintendo's controller. So, you can use it like a steam controller but with the Switch's analog sticks (a steam controller has two pads) and gyro controls. "One of the most useful things you can do with the gyros is aim assist.

Super Mario Galaxy will be available for Wii U through the system's Virtual Console.
