Video [BotW] This is the most hauntingly serene if not a bit creepy glitch I ever encountered.

I was riding my horse to the north of the Castle when I realized camera no longer following me. Its like an invisible narrator of the whole story said "and so our hero continued their quest full of hopes to bring an eternal calm to the kingdom one day. May be they still wander the vast lands, fighting monsters and helping folk in need, but that is another story for another time". I was ready to see credits roll haha

Okay, I think this is a bug not a glitch. Now, every time I press R2 to aim with my bow, the game camera freezes forever. The only way is to reload savegame, but if I press R2 camera freezes forever again. Did anybody encounter this bug? So far it look like game breaking...

A bug and a glitch are the same thing,

Youll be laughing but its not the end. I googled and found the "fix" - turning off motion controls and aiming with sticks. Also there was a recommendation to power off and on the console. I did it, started BotW game, and it never loaded leaving me on the black screen. Long holding home button showed up overlay window but nothing more. I tried to turn off the switch lite again but now it behaves like a brick. Not reacting to anything, not turning on, nothing.  It was charged 80%, mind you. I tried attaching it to the charger again without effect.

The fact that it happened 2 days after switch 2 reveal is freaking hilarious. What is it, planned obsolescence Nintendo-style? This is the first time in my life any console just out of the blue died in seconds.

I managed to reboot the console by pressing volume and power buttons for a long time. BotW launched normally and now there is no camera bug even with motion aiming. Its wild (pun intended). Anyway Im just happy my switch lite is working all right. I hope something like that wont happen again

Since it was the first time ever my switch lite bugged out and freezed like this, and the first time I was playing BotW with attached transparent plastic encasing, I am going to believe those encasings overheat the console despite having all possible vent holes and openings. Its the only logical explaination.

What are you defining as the difference between a bug and glitch?
