Control Mapping
By now, most players have got used to certain actions being mapped to certain controls. Jump is assigned to the bottom button, sprint is the left stick, crouch is normally the right stick or farthest right button of the four… you get the picture. So when a game like Breath of the Wild comes along and maps a number of these crucial actions to really strange buttons, it can really throw you off your game and cost you heavily in battle.
While Breath of the Wild did have some element of changing the controls, such as enabling you to switch the jump button to the bottom button, sprint and crouch were still mapped in different places. Though you’ll get used to Breath of the Wild’s unusual controls eventually, the ability to map the controls however you saw fit would have been a godsend. Or, y’know, just have a more traditional control scheme as an alternative configuration, instead.
