In this paper, we employ a difference equation approach to study the Plancherel‐Rotach asymptotics of q ‐orthogonal polynomials about their largest zeros. Our method for q ‐difference equations is an analogue to the turning point problem for Hermite differential equations. It works well in the toy problems of Stieltjes‐Wigert polynomials and q − 1 ‐Hermite polynomials.
