You're playing Zelda wrong if you didn't switch jump to b.

Someone who desperately wants to remap every key in games one to the right?

Wonder if they'd meltdown if you told them they could achieve the same effect by just moving their keyboard 2cm to the left

You can change the jump button in Zelda to be the same as it is in Splatoon

Back when I PC gamed I always remapped movement to ESDF. I had gotten used to it since it was the default with Tribes 2, which was basically my first PC game. It opens up more keys that are accessible from your pinky, and you can easily find your place without looking because most keyboards put a little bump on the F and J keys. When you invest in your controls, you invest in yourself

I don't think it's that weird, maybe they like to have their pinky pressing a small key instead of a big key.

EDSF is normal compared to me, who uses a mouse in their left hand and remaps everything to arrow keys and surrounding keys.

# of reachable keys aside (it's more) the real reason is because I'm often typing and I use the home row and never look at the keyboard when I type. Why should I move my hand left by one when I can just keep it in the same place? I've already memorized all the keys my left hand can hit, why re-memorize just to fit some old-school idiot's idea that WASD was an OK thing to do?

That said, it's still better than buying one of those weird usb mini-board of keys that do nothing.

Serious question has there ever been a Nintendo developed game where you could actually set the controls yourself, not just swap between two different versions?

All games should have control remapping just like all games have subtitles, it's an accessibility feature and should be an industry standard.

I think b is better for jump in Zelda because I felt like I had to do some awkward finger gymnastics when I was jumping around in combat while locked on with x. Felt much better with b.

I'm glad they at least gave the option.

Overcooked I hear is really good with 4 people. I think Minecraft Switch also has 4 player splitscreen if you guys are into that.

Pacman Vs. is coming out tomorrow with Namco Museum and is some of the best local multiplayer ever but you need two Switches to fully enjoy it.

Overcooked, Snipperclips, Ultra Hyperball (out today, no idea what it's like), Death Squared, De Mambo, Astro Duel Deluxe, Puyo Puyo Tetris, Jackbox Party Pack, 1-2 Switch (lol), Super Bomberman R, Fast RMX.
