If you want to know how to turn off the motion controls on your Nintendo Switch, you've come to the right place. Here's what you need to know about this topic.
So, you're enjoying a Nintendo Switch game like Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, but the motion controls are getting in the way of your precision and control. Most people would probably navigate to the Nintendo Switch's system settings or controller settings to deactivate motion control – but they won't be successful. The reason for that is that the Nintendo Switch doesn't allow you to turn off motion controls on a system-wide level.
But no worries, we got you covered! The good news is that you can usually turn off motion control individually for a specific game. As an example, here's how to disable motion control in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
