Topic: Control stick sensitivity

Hello. I need help! Definitely wouldn't call myself a gamer so I apologize for my ignorance but I recently bought a Nintendo Switch so I could play the old Nintendo games, specifically Zelda. I'm starting Ocarina of Time and my problem is that the joystick is sooo sensitive. When I try to aim, the slightest touch sends my aim way too far. I've tried to look up solutions/tips and I read something about changing the control stick sensitivity but there does not seem to be a setting for that. I can only find info about calibrating my controllers, which I don't think is the same thing??? Any tips would be great! Thanks in advance!

@DestinyMarie If there are going to be stick sensitivity settings, it would be in-game. The Switch System Settings/Controllers & Sensors menu doesn't offer sensitivity tweaking, only calibration. Some Switch controllers can develop analog stick drift, and stick calibration can help alleviate stick drift issues.

Step 1 for most controller troubleshooting (on nintendo's support page) is to make sure your controllers are updated. Every once in a while, Nintendo has issued updates for the Nintendo brand controllers. Controllers need to be attached or plugged in with a usb cable to be updated. I believe the Update Controller option is in Switch System Settings/Controllers menu.

Side note, this may not apply to you, but on rare occasion, I've seen few people in the forum mention inexplicable controller issues that were solved by restarting the console. These people also seemed to exclusively use Switch sleep mode every night for a month or more straight (they never shut down the console). Rebooting every once in a while can help prevent that. You can also do a hard reboot, hold power button for 15+ seconds, to make the console do a more thorough reboot.
