Turn off auto lock in LoZ: Twilight Princess

[tinkleoutsidethebinkle]

I don't know the first thing about emulators. All I know was that I was super excited to play my favorite game from my childhood.

I'm playing Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and every time I use the left stick on my controller to move forward, it automatically tries to lock on to whatever is in front of me. This control was reserved for the Z key on the nunchuck when I played it on the wii, but I can't seem to make it work for my controller. The version of the game I have was made for gamecube, although I am playing it with an old xbox controller.

Everything else seems to work except for this. Does anyone know how to turn it off?

Can you post your controller config?

Ohh... That shouldn't happen in any Zelda game period.

Most 3D Zelda games offer two options for Z-targeting: Hold and Switch.

Hold: Keep holding the Z button (or equivalent button) to keep Z-targeting the enemy. As soon you release the button the enemy is no longer Z-targeted. Repeat the same process to Z-target the next nearby enemy, in sequence.

Switch: Press the Z button (or equivalent button) once to Z-target the enemy. Press the Z button again to release the enemy from Z-targeting. Repeat the same process to Z-target the next nearby enemy, in sequence.

Most often this option is found in the File Select Menu, through Twilight Princess has this option in the Options menu in-game instead. The option is known as L-targeting instead for the GameCube version of Twilight Princess since it uses the L button instead of the Z button.

Most likely the issue is that you have binded the L button of the emulated GameCube controller to be permanently pressed, or the physical button on your Xinput which has the L button binded to is malfunctioning. Check in the Emulated GameCube Controller Port 1 config if the L button isn't being triggered when it should not be pressed.

The GameCube version of Twilight Princess should not use any active WiiMote controller setups. GameCube titles don't support the WiiMote after all. The Wii version through has no backwards support for the GameCube controller, so that shouldn't be in conflict either. Only a few titles can make simultaneously use both GameCube and WiiMote controller ports. Make sure you using the first port also. Most singleplayer games refer to using the first port.

You might have accidentally assigned left stick up for both move forward and z.
