you could use motion controls but due to the game requiring directional inputs no you can't use a button to swing your sword
They could have mapped a button for general random sword slashes. For general purposes like killing enemies who don't block or pots and objects.
i wish i could use sword w/ X or Y, and control the camera w/out holding down L bumber, not possible??
Nope. But The Gamecube pro controller is better simply because at least my finger is naturally on the L trigger. It does suck but I
im getting use to it. Put it this way. You'll only ever have to do this for this one game. When they put out TP and Wind Waker. WE can all enjoy normal controls again. Thank god.
And I can't go back to the Switch motion controls anymore. Especially with my drift issues.
I’ve been playing with both control types as I switch between the living room tv when I’m cooking and handheld mode at night. I will say I prefer the motion controls for sword fighting but prefer the joystick for things like walking on the rope, flying and using the beetle.
The joystick for combat I am not a fan of. I can’t swing as fast as I’d like (it isn’t quite as responsive) so it made fighting the first boss kind of annoying. It also wears out my thumb. The game itself is still one of my favorites though, I have been missing the classic Zelda style and I’ve played pretty much every other one a dozen times.
The only problem is the overworld. I think this game has the best dungeons out of any Zelda but damn is it’s overworld lacking as its basically just straight lines. As much as BOTW lacks interesting side quests and classic temples and bosses it does have damn near a perfect Zelda overworld. If they give us dungeons with cool bosses and add a bunch more NPCs to make the world not seem so empty BOTW2 could be a perfect Zelda game.
The Overworld in SS is abysmal but I think the dungeons and areas are very good. I wish they would have done more work on the overworld but with how Bad flying is in general i'm glad theres not too much of it. I don't like flying in this game period. Its supposed to be a sailing equivilant. When you're sailing in Wind waker you have that relaxing music can change winds and sail automatically and find a ton of stuff out on the sea. This game offers nothing really and is a chore to navigate. But It does have a lot of great land areas.
