Understanding the controls is your first step to becoming a hero. The game uses a simple yet effective control scheme:

- D-Pad: Move Link in four directions.
- A Button: Interact (talk, open chests, push blocks), confirm selections.
- B Button: Use equipped item (sword, shield, etc.).
- L Button: Call Ezlo for advice, or use the equipped item on the L button slot.
- R Button: Roll (useful for dodging and crossing small gaps).
- START Button: Open the Subscreen (inventory, map, equipment).
- SELECT Button: View the map (if you have one).
Practice rolling with the R button; it's invaluable for quick movement and avoiding enemy attacks. The A button is context-sensitive, so experiment with it in different situations. Remember that your equipped items on the B and L buttons can be changed in the Subscreen, allowing for quick access to your most-used tools. Mastering these basic movements and interactions will be essential for navigating Hyrule's diverse environments and overcoming its many challenges.
