### Review

The game is amazing. The visuals are great, the plot is decent-ish (there are
25-
some plot holes with timey-wimey stuff). My only gripe is the controls... I did
26-
play on Dolphin emulator, so that's an an issue to expect, and yet, it seems
27-
like the game itself really has terrible controls (Wii Remote needs
28-
recalibrating pretty much every time it is used in the game).

15+
Mouse buttons are encoded as follows:
16+
17+

18+
- 'Click 2' is the middle mouse button.
19+
- 'Click 3' is the right mouse button.
20+
21+
The keybinds configuration should allow for the following actions in-game:
22+
23+

24+

25+

29+
- Thrust: 'Click 3'
30+
31+
To recalibrate the view plane, place the cursor in a spot on the screen where the center of the *current* view plane is (or as near as possible), then press Down Arrow. Repeat if necessary.

## Dodoh's High Dive
116+
117+
It is much easier to pass Dodoh's High Dive by lowering the maximum tilt angle to 40 degrees (Motion Simulation > Tilt > Angle). With the above controls setup, use I/K/Q/E to control Link in air.
