Manual view following... not too hard. These are the GM6 codes though, I hope they haven't changed in GM7.
Go to the room editor, and where it says "Follow object" or whatever, set it to None.
Then at the end of Link's Step event, put this:
view_xview[0] = x - view_wview[0]/2;
view_yview[0] = y - view_hview[0]/2;
The view's x becomes Link's x, minus half the view's width.. repeat for y.. keeps it pretty much centered.
[edit]
BTW sorry I haven't been on Messenger much. Most of the day is too busy >,<
