    I can’t remember which game it was (something on the Switch, so maybe a Nintendo game) where the game itself told you which button to press by showing four circles on screen (e.g. next to the speech bubble) and only one of these circles is filled out, so instead of a letter, you know you have to press the right button or whatever… I really like this design choice because it’s so intuitive

        Oh god, I want to experience this game for the first time again.

        I got back into video games again during lockdowns and after leaving a very soul-crushing relationship. It was probably the perfect time in my life to experience BotW.

          Have you ever played Shadow of the Collosus? If not, I think it’ll give a lot of the same vibes that you’re looking for.

            Oh yes, I love Shadow of the Collosus and Ico! Played them as a child, and played Collosus during lockdowns as well. It really can use a control update, but otherwise the game holds up really well!

          How would one go about playing it if they don’t have an Nintendo console?

            You’ll have to pirate it, then use the Ryujinx emulator.

            Or you can use CEMU to use the Wii U version of the game.

              Ah cool thanks, with some news articles recently I wasn’t sure if there were still emulators available.

                Yuzu got shit down but Ryujinx is still here

                  You could probably still find a fork of yuzu, if that’s what you want.

              I don’t spend a lot of time gaming. It would almost certainly be buying it to play just this game.

              Also Nintendo are kind of ducks, so I don’t really want to give them any money.

                You could buy a used Switch and install a modchip to play pirated games.

                But yeah, not really worth it if you only want to play 1 specific game and already have a pc powerful enough for emulating it

                  You can also buy one of the older switch consoles from 2018 which are not patched and you can inject a payload via rcm mode.

      Playing games on pc and getting xbox button hints while using a Playstation or Nintendo controller is a special kind of frustrating. Like anything else, you get used to it, but I think I would like the position based hints you describe a lot better.
