Question about controls

Thanks for your efforts on this wonderful project. I was actually just checking out whether to buy the Links awakening remake and saw this from Good Vibes Gaming. My question though is - how do I figure out the controls? I am looking through the download files and can't find any readme file or instructions anywhere in the files or on your website here on itch. I can get arrows but can't figure out which key is enter or affirm/cancel. Is there any means of editing input for controller support? What are the controls? 

Personally I got my 8bitdo Ultimate controller to work by just plugging it in and then starting the game. The layout is the regular Xbox diamond with A at the bottom and B on the right.

Agree about the controls working. the game recognize the steam deck controls right off the bat. So controller support is there

...unless you have a Playstation controller

I just connected my XBox pad and it worked straight away

So I've been tinkering around since I saw this about an hour ago... I have a 8bitdo Zero 2 controller I carry around with me and since I'm at the office it's all I got atm. I've discovered that you can indeed use a controller with this, but you'll need to manually set it up in Steam. Add the exe to Steam as a non Steam app, and then edit your controls so that (if using the Nintendo layout, as most 8bitdo controllers do) set it so that A = D and B = S as keyboard commands. W and A can be set to X or Y, and make sure you manually set the D Pad correctly. I think I've got it working now.

The game doesn't work with my PS4 controller and I do not think there is a way to enable it since DS4 Windows is gone now
