I know people are hungry for Ocarina of Time news (img 1; seen on ResetEra), but this is a patent for the guide system in Another Code: Recollection (imgs 2-3).

Two drawings copied from patent US 20240033635, and the following text shown in Zelda font: RECENT PATENT FILINGS BY NINTENDO APPEAR TO SHOW Z-TARGETING USING SWITCH JOY-CONS FEATURING A FAIRY-LIKE CURSOR IN A TEMPLE-LIKE ENVIRONMENT.
