=== Wii Remote Calibration ===
During sword strikes or other rapid successive movements, the Wii Remote may lose calibration. This can happen even on console, and to help alleviate this the game has a built in automatic calibration whenever it sees the sensor bar, as well as a built in manual calibration feature: press Down on the Wii Remote's Dpad while pointing at the sensor bar will calibrate it anywhere instantly (preferably in a menu, but calling Fi will fix it as well). Use these features any time the motion controls become desynced.
 
Unfortunately Emulated Bluetooth exhibits this behavior worse than console, making it desync more regularly. [[Bluetooth Passthrough]] however behaves the same as console, and is recommended if you are having trouble with this issue.

=== Banding ===
Banding may be present in shading on characters and surroundings. To fix it, turn on '''Force Texture Filtering'''.
Banding may be present in shading on characters and surroundings when internal resolution (IR) is bigger than 1x. To fix it, turn on '''Force Texture Filtering'''.

=== Horizontal Black Line /w Non-Integral Internal Resolution ===
A thin (1px) black line appears when the Internal Resolution is set to '''Auto (Window Size)''', appearing above the lower right quadrant of the screen. Use other Internal Resolution settings to avoid this problem, which is inherent to the hackish nature of fractional scaling and is unlikely to be fixed. See {{issue|6640}}.

=== Depth of Field Removal Hack ===
=== Depth of Field Removal Hack ===
The depth of field effect used in the game can look considerably off on higher resolutions. To remove it, use this Gecko code (works with the NTSC-U version(s?) of the game):
The depth of field effect used in the game can look considerably off on higher resolutions. To remove it, simply pick a Gecko code that matches your revision. To find the revision: Right click the game in Dolphin, go to '''Properties''', then the '''Info''' tab, then refer to the '''Name''' field for Revision. For PAL there is Revision 0, and 1. For NTSC-U There is 0, 1, and 2.
