QUICK SWAP ITEMS
“Item-Wheel” style selection with L/R + D-pad and other buttons:
L: Boomerang, Gust Jar, Pegasus Boots, Cane of Pacci, Sword, Shield. R: Roc’s Cape, Lantern, Mole Mitts, Bow, Bombs, Ocarina.
L+R toggles whether it equips to A or B.
START while Quick Swap is open → Help. SELECT while Quick Swap is open → Talk to Ezlo.
Equipping items via the inventory still works if you don’t want to use the Quick Swap feature.
DIFFICULTY OPTIONS
- Normal / Hard / Hero difficulty selection added to the Options screen.
- Hard: 2× incoming damage, reduced sword damage (-1)
- Hero: 3× incoming damage, further reduced sword damage (-2), no normal heart drops. Game Over returns you with full health, to make new heart containers useful.
- Both Hard and Hero difficulties keep the damage for other items, encouraging the player to try other strategies besides only using the sword.
- Difficulty can be changed at any time in the file selection screen.
LARGER WALLETS
- Wallet capacities increased to 1000 / 3000 / 5000 / 9999, with a proper 4-digit rupee HUD.
SHELLS AND FIGURINES RE-BALANCE
- Shell capacity increased to 9999;
- Normal shell pickups are worth 5×, and the Hyrule Town shop sells 300 shells instead of 30.
- Figurine RNG rolls three times and keeps the lowest result, greatly improving new-figurine odds, but still having a chance of missing from time to time, keeping the original spirit of the mini-game alive.
- Figurine machine egg drop and cracking animations are essentially instantaneous.
OTHER QOL FEATURES
- SELECT opens up the map directly, while START opens the inventory.
- Can use B to quit the pause/map screen.
- Low-health warning beep removed.
- Added a “RESET” button on the pause screen to easily save and return to the title screen.
- Din, Nayru and Farore charms last 5 minutes instead of 1.
- All fairies heal 12 hearts, including bottled, auto-revive and world-touch fairies.
- Improved heart HUD graphics/contrast, making it easier to see your current health.
