The command with which “we all win”. The Xbox Adaptive Controller launched by Microsoft has been one of the most revolutionary ideas for the video game that have been seen in recent years. A control system with which anyone can enjoy their favorite video games without any barrier, and that brings us one of those stories worth seeing: Ava and his departure to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
A young woman who suffers hereditary spastic paraplegia, known as HSP, that prevented him from enjoying this Switch video game as his friends. Now, you can do it. As Rory Steel shows on Twitter, after making a profound modification in the Adaptive Controller, mapping all the buttons and designing a proper control system, his daughter Ava can now get into Link’s skin and run around Hyrule quietly.
Finished! Ava gives my homemade #accessibility controller V1.0 the thumbs up. She can play @Nintendo #BreathoftheWild on her #switch like her friends now. All thanks to @Microsoft ? #adaptiveController #XAC @brycej @ArranDyslexia @shanselman pic.twitter.com/dOhGnUFZa0

This disease, which affects 1 in 20,000 people in Europe, causes our protagonist to have problems with finger dexterity and speech due to certain complications with motor skills. However, from now on he will not have problems to enjoy video games like any other. Good news to start the week and a very good way to show that everyone can have fun with this sector thanks to solutions such as Microsoft.
