After countless appeals from dedicated admirers, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker has arrived on Switch 2. While not the remastered edition some anticipated, enthusiasts of the classic GameCube release can now access it through Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack. Pairing it with the latest wireless GameCube controller enhances the experience, though an unexpected control setup may unsettle newcomers.

By default, the camera operates with an inverted X-axis configuration. Tilting the C-Stick (or right analog stick) left shifts the view right, and vice versa—a design choice that diverges from standard expectations. Adjustments can be made through these steps:

– During gameplay, press ‘ZL’ to access the quick settings.
– Choose the control customization option.
– Swap directional mappings for camera navigation (left and right). Reference modified settings highlighted in the example below.

This adjustment ensures intuitive camera movements. However, note that modified controls affect all C-Stick functionalities, including the Wind Waker’s musical sequences. Commands for these melodies will now require reversed inputs, presenting a trade-off between camera familiarity and item-related precision.

Ultimately, players must decide whether prioritizing camera orientation outweighs the momentary challenge during specific gameplay elements.
