    Altering a game


    I want to alter my The Legend of Zelda, Skyward Sword game on my Wii U so I can play as Twilight Princess Link. How do I do that? And What Category does this belong to? I have an EliteBook that originally came with Windows 7, but doesn't meet the requirements for Windows 11. I'm going with the gaming category, because this is related to gaming, even though it isn't a game for my laptop.

    :)

  2. Game controller ID settings

    Hi Joe,

    Thank you for the update. I understand your concern.

    I would suggest you to look for the Devices settings in Control Panel and check if the game controllers are listed. If so, refer to the following steps to alter the settings and check if these are helpful in resolving your issue.

    a. Right click on one of your game controllers and click Game Controller Settings. Note where in the list it is. If it is not at the top proceed to the next step.

    b. Right click and remove all your other controllers (not the 360/gamepad) and let them reinstall automatically.

    c. Once complete right click and check the list again and see if the 360 controller/gamepad is at the top. If so, give the game another try and see if it detects your controller.

    If the issue still persists, restart your console and then try to reconnect your controller.

    Hope this information is helpful. Please post back your results for further assistance.
