Windwaker not recognizing L trigger

[MikestaMike]

I have been playing Windwaker for a few hours and the L trigger has been working fine. With either the L trigger or L shoulder trigger I have been able to use the targeting for this Zelda game. The problem is that it just stopped working and I can't figure out why. The game isn't recognizing when I press either L (targeting enemy's or in the menu screen).

I have tried the following: Different controller, (all 4 do the same), different games the L still works, in controller configuration it is registering when I press the L button, when I load save slot #2 (where I am not near as far as I am in save slot #1) the L trigger works. When I start a new game the L trigger works.

So I am not sure why only in this one saved game of windwaker the L trigger doesn't work.

Be careful when using savestats, make sure to try an ingame save instead.

Are you using a natively supported GameCube controller adapter, or just a regular controller mapped to an emulated GameCube controller?

In the future, I would suggest relying on the in-game save functionality rather than savestates. If you are able to make an in-game save from the savestate that you currently have, I would suggest doing that and then restarting the game to see if it fixes the issue.

You might try disconnecting and reconnecting the emulated controller after loading your save-state. (Set Port 1 to "None" and then back to "Standard Controller").

But yeah, stop using save-states as a replacement for regular saves.

Please be sure to read our rules about necroposting. It's often better to make new threads instead of reviving old ones like this. Case in point, MikestaMike hasn't logged on in quite a while, and you'd get a faster response from some of the regulars here (along with better visibility for your issue) with a new thread.
