How to stop crouching in Breath of the Wild

Link keeps crouching ... at the most inopportune times .. usually when I'm being chased. How do I make Link stand up? And how did I make him crouch in the first place? I'm using the Wii U GamePad.


Solution 1:

Pressing the left stick makes Link crouch. I do this all the time during fights and battles because I get tense. To stop crouching, press the left stick again.
