Basic Actions

Master the basic actions in The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds! Learn how to interact with the world, solve puzzles, and advance your adventure.

Hey there! So you've just started your adventure in Hyrule, huh? Don't worry, getting the hang of the basic moves is super easy. Think of it like this: if you see a prompt pop up on your screen, it means Link can do something cool right there!

See that little prompt in the bottom-right corner? That's your best friend for interacting with the world. For example, when you first start, you'll need to check out a weather vane. Just walk up to it, and you'll see "Touch (A)" appear. Give that A button a press, and Link will do his thing!

This "Action" button (that's the A button, by the way) is your go-to for all sorts of things. You'll use it to chat with folks, read those helpful signposts scattered around, and, most importantly, to open up treasure chests! So, always keep an eye out for those prompts when you're exploring.

Dungeons are where the Action button really shines. You'll be using it a lot to solve puzzles and figure out how to move forward. If something looks a bit suspicious or like it might be interactive, go ahead and give the A button a try. You might just pull a switch that opens a secret door!

Quick Tip: Not every little thing you can interact with will do something useful. For instance, trying to "check" some of the little MaiMai creatures won't do anything, so don't waste your time on those if you're in a hurry!
