Anybody have any good third person mecanim tutorials?

The only one I can find is this one, but every time I follow it, using the same animations, same code, same model, it doesn't work right. The animations loop wrong, and my character always goes slightly to the right. I've tried three times from scratch. I just want third person controls, similar to maybe The Legend of Zelda. I've also tried the one from John Mac, but it's so confusing. A written tutorial is preferred, but video will be fine too.

 

John Mac on Youtube has some good tutorials. Check him out. Source: https://github.com/jm991/UnityThirdPersonTutorial

There are a ton of vids in the series. If you find a better tutorial please let me know.

 

Just think of it as moving any character in 2D or 3D space (depends on the project).... just look up a good tutorial and get that working at first. When finished, move the camera to the distance/position/rotation that you want and take that into account (if needed) when you press a key, button or stick that affects movement.
