PSA: another tip for a glitch in Skyward Sword button-only controls (how to pull an object)
Last night, I bumped into another imperfection -- and solution -- in playing the The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (HD) without motion controls on Switch 2 with a Pro Controller. The internet at large was not tremendously helpful, because of course most chatter is from when the game first came out, on different hardware and presumably before patches. The internet's advice was to quit without saving, sacrifice progress, reboot, and redo getting to this point, thus reloading the room ... which didn't work for me. The solution is simpler!
TLDR, no spoilers: Playing without motion controls, I've found that the "Move object" action is always and only to push. But when I toggled settings to motion for the controls only -- not the camera, not switching to joy cons -- pull became available in the place where it was needed. :-D You're welcome.
(Going forward, I'll try this on everything that looks like a port glitch.)
