About this mod Author’s original text

Move While Aiming

Allows Link to move with the analog while aiming in first-person.

While active, the N64 analog input (left stick by default) will be used to move Link.

Aiming will be handled by the right-stick, overriding it's usual behavior.

Does not apply to shooting galleries, or Mini-games where Link should not be able to move around.

Also allows Link to control Epona while aiming with the bow.

This mod now also includes the optional ability for Link to fire the Bow and Hookshot with the R button,

a valuable QoL improvement for when both thumbs are needed for simultaneous aiming and firing. This feature

Will come to the Zora Boomerangs and Deku Bubble in a future version.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
  3. For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.

Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
