any word on gyro aiming when handheld?

@Eel

Isn't that kinda impossible, because you'd have to tilt the screen away out of view?

@Dezzy didn't OoT 3d aim that way?

@Dezzy ... What do you mean by tilting the screen away out of view? I would expect it to work like other games with gyro aiming. (Like Ocarina of Time on the 3DS, as mentioned)

I decided to order the game with a steelbook, but I’ll have to wait a few days to get it delivered. A worthy sacrifice.

So who's gonna cheat on zelda their first playthrough on switch? Those who've played it know what I'm talking about.

My copy arrived a day early today (thanks Smyths!) but I'm still catching up on my gaming back backlog and want to have Rise of the Tomb Raider finished before I start it. Literally the definition of a first world problem.

@Zeldafan79 I played the game for the first time in 2019 and I don't remember anything like that lol

@Balta666

Does the name Peatrice ring any bells?

@Zeldafan79 just checked and I remember the character but I don't think I did that sidequest

@Eel

Er yeah I haven't played that since launch, honestly can't remember how it worked. If there are games that make that work, then OK then. I assume it just makes it more sensitive so you don't have to turn it too much?

@Balta666

That side quest is permanently missable and there's one of two ways it can go. I always liked to do it when I would play this game.

@Dezzy
Every game that uses Gyro in handheld I can think of requires ever so slight tilting, not nearly enough to tilt it out of view. We're talking 10, maybe 15 degrees max in any direction, if that.

Most provide sensitivity settings which let you customize it, but ya, dialing in the sensitivity is extremely important for Gyro, be it handheld or otherwise. Splatoon, Sniper Elite v2/3/4, Assassin's Creed Rebel Collection, Resident Evil 5/6/R1/R2, Doom/Eternal, Wolfenstein 2, etc etc.

If you don't have the correct sensitivity, you'll hate using Gyro. But if you find that sweet spot, it becomes a natural extention of your reflexes.

Check out this Aim Lab video showcasing a 1 minute test using a DualSense with Gyro. It's absolutely mind blowing how fast and accurate Gyro is. Even coming within a stone's throw of the almighty mouse, believe it or not (in fact, this score tops many mouse user scores)

@JaxonH

Oh yeah I do remember it on OOT3D actually, because on the original 3DS model it would break the 3D effect when you tilted it, because that was only designed to work for a straight-on view. They then fixed that issue in the New3DS (although I'd stopped using the 3D by then).

Just picked up the game and got this cute lil Zelda keyring with it.

I'm going to finish cross country practice and immedietly drive to target to pick up this game. I've been waiting since february, i'm not insane

Couple of hours in - the button controls take some getting used to. Holding down L to move the camera is a pain in the arse, as is the sword action of using the right stick. Hope this doesn't spoil the game .... or fark my controller.

@Tendo64 I ordered from Walmart to also get the key chain and a pair of zelda socks lol. Hoping it ships today for delivery tomorrow since I recently ordered. We'll see!

My game just turned up with the amibo and joycons so least i have a great game to play now we are back in lockdown again(melbourne Australia)

My plans exactly! 😂 (Also in Melbourne)
