In the Zelda video game guidebook I am translating there is a part of the game
where you transform into a wolf and have to rely on your senses. The title of
this section of the guidebook is

> センスを研ぎ澄ませ！ Sharpen your senses!

However in the body copy I see this line:

> また、センスで嗅覚も研ぎ澄まされることを覚えておこう。 Again, you should sharpen your sense of smell

However 嗅覚 is "sense of smell". So why is this not simply

> 嗅覚を研ぎ澄まされる・・・

Why does it use the word "センス"

question
grammar words video-games
センスで嗅覚も研ぎ澄ます - "sense of sense of smell?" Why use センス?
An alternative translation that accounts for the センス:

  * センスで嗅覚も研ぎ澄まされることを覚えておこう。  
_Of the senses,_ remember that your sense of smell will also be sharpened.

The で is like "by". You can rewrite the sentence as:

> また、センス **によって** 、嗅覚も研ぎ澄まされることを覚えておこう。

So I think it literally says...

> センスを研ぎ澄ませ！  
>  Sharpen your センス(=probably "intuition" as in @dainichi's comment)!  
>  また、センスで嗅覚も研ぎ澄まされることを覚えておこう。  
>  And, remember that your sense of smell will also be sharpened by your
> (sharpened) センス/intuition.
