There are 4 '''C Buttons''' on the [[Nintendo 64]] controller: Up, Down, Left, Right. The Up C Button is used to switch the perspective from third to first person (and vice-versa when it is pressed again), as well as to talk to Link's fairy companions, [[Navi]] or [[Tatl]], when either wants to give the hero advice. The other three buttons can be assigned to [[Gameplay Elements of The Legend of Zelda Series#Items|item]]s from the inventory, allowing more convenient item usage than in the older games, in which only one or item was usable at a time—with the B Button. | There are 4 '''C Buttons''' on the [[Nintendo 64]] controller: Up, Down, Left, Right.

In both {{TWW|-}} and ''Twilight Priness'', it has two functions. Tilting the C Stick unlocks the camera, allowing the player to adjust it at will. Tilting the C Stick up will switch the camera to first person. In {{TWW|-}}, the camera position must be reset with the L Button before one is able to switch to first-person. | ||

In the 3D games, whereas the B Button serves as the attack role, the '''R Button''' serves as the defense role. In the Nintendo 64 and GameCube games, Link uses his Shield for as long as the player holds the R Button. This evidently will not work if the Shield is either lost (see [[Like Like]]) or unequipped.

In the Nintendo 64 and GameCube games, Link uses his Shield for as long as the player holds the R Button. This evidently will not work if the Shield is either lost (see [[Like Like]]) or unequipped. In the case of {{TWW|-}}, the button gains extra functions. For one, Link will only use the Shield when he is drawing the Sword; when he is not, pressing the button will make him crouch (and crawl) if the Control Stick is tilted as well. When standing in front of a wall, he will carefully sidles against it. Other actions include dropping an item (A will always throw it), and pulling and pushing blocks. | ||
In the 2D games, R is commonly a [[dash]] button. In {{ALttP|-}}, Link can run quickly when the button is held. In {{TMC}}, the button makes Link lift objects and roll. In almost all games, R also switches the menu screens by moving to the next menu screen on the right. | In the 2D games, R is commonly a [[dash]] button.

Unlike the other buttons, neither Z or L have had consistent roles through the series. In the Nintendo 64 games, ''Twilight Princess'', and in ''Skyward Sword'', the '''Z Button''' aligns the camera with Link's viewing direction, and is used for [[Targeting System|targeting]].

When the menu screens are displayed, it shifts the menu to the next screen on the left in the Nintendo 64 games. In the original Gamecube version of {{TWW|-}}, the Z Button, along with the X and Y-buttons, are assigned to items; in the GameCube version of ''Twilight Princess'', it makes Link talk with [[Midna]]; and in the Wii version of the same game, it serves as both a defense and a targeting command (simultaneously). The '''L Button''', on the other hand, only enables and disables the map in the Nintendo 64 games. In the two 3D GameCube games, it replaces the Z Button as the targeting command. In {{ALttP|-}}, L opens the [[Inventory]] screen and in {{TWW|-}}, ''The Minish Cap'' and the GameCube versions of {{OoT|-}} and {{MM|-}}, it shifts the menu to the next screen on the left. In ''A Link Between Worlds'', holding L will use the [[Pegasus Boots]] if acquired. | ||
