The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is without a doubt one of the best games to hit the scene, and many reviewers on the internet agree with that statement.
However, nothing's perfect, and Breath of the Wild is no exception. Put simply, players particularly hate the motion control puzzle in the shrine Myahm Agana and the lack of support to pet dogs, and to no one's surprise, they've started expressing their disdain on Twitter.
'Breath Of The Wild' Has So Many Dogs, But You Can't Pet Them
Link can feed dogs in Breath of the Wild, but he can't pet them. Nintendo may have missed the mark on that one, and considering how many friendly canines there are out in Hyrule, it could be considered a little cruel.
WHY IS THERE NO OPTION TO PET THIS GOOD DOG!!!

I really enjoy the heck outta Breath of the Wild EXCEPT I feel like such a monster when I'm able to approach a dog but not pet them — McGRANIME (@Jacobdmcg) March 9, 2017
Breath of the wild needs a pet dog button and also lie down in the grass button — Joana (@Layn75) March 9, 2017
Hopefully, Nintendo sets its priorities straight and roll out a patch to fix this issue. Still, it's good to see that the dogs accept players' treats and even run around and catch their own tails.

'Breath Of The Wild' Motion Control Puzzle Is Not What Players Want
While some puzzles in Breath of the Wild require only the player's logical skills or Link's runes, some need a mastery in the marble game Labyrinth, and it's a source of frustration for a lot of gamers.
Nintendo just HAD to put in a motion-controlled shrine puzzle in Breath of the Wild. Easily the most frustrating. — Kaiju Chad (@kyoushibanzai) March 6, 2017
Hit my first motion control puzzle in Zelda. This game just went from the best game ever to total crap in record time. — Garrett Weinzierl (@GarrettArt) March 6, 2017
Sure, calling the game a "total crap" because of a puzzle seems like an exaggeration, but believe everyone when they say how Myahm Agana's head-scratcher is somewhat ruining the whole experience for them.
Tips To Beat The Motion Control Puzzle
Luckily, there are some clever players out there who figured out how to make dealing with the motion control puzzle a bit easier.
First, there's Paul Tassi, a Forbes contributor. He suggests using only the right Joy-Con controller, the one out of the two that holds the gyro component.
This makes sense because one Joy-Con controller is more manageable than the whole Switch in handheld mode.
Second, there's the YouTuber dadbodgames. The trick here is simple: all the player needs to focus on is "getting the ball off and flipping the maze over" and smack it up.
Check out the video below to see it in action, and see how the YouTube user made quick work of the puzzle.
With everything said and done, what do you think of Nintendo's "oversight" with the dog-petting deal and the motion control puzzle in Myahm Agana? Feel free to hit us up in the comments section below and let us know.
