v1.5.9 release announcement

Project Restoration v1.5.9 was released on 02/01/2022. To install or update Project Restoration, follow the instructions here.

Users of the HD HUD mod should set up the patch and custom textures again: some HD textures weren't loaded because of a packaging mistake and A and B button text could show up blurry.

Changes since 1.5.8:

• Several tweaks to the Elegy of Emptiness and Stone Tower were made to improve the user experience.
  • The statue is now spawned faster and it is now impossible to step off floor switches before the statue has materialised.
  • Stone Tower blocks now move at a less dizzying speed.
• ISG (Infinite Sword Glitch) was reimplemented (#188).
• The console sound setting is now honoured; the game no longer forces surround mode (#193, #194).
• Fixed a softlock that could occur if an owl statue is hit immediately after playing the ocarina (#167).
• Fixed Link being able to transform into Goron Link while carrying Mystery or Moldy Milk (#185).
• Fixed a rare, random crash that could occur if ZR was held during transitions (#146).
• Fixed quick arrow swapping quirks when L targeting (#184).

Project Restoration v1.5.8 was released on 25/04/2020. To install or update Project Restoration, follow the instructions here.

Changes since 1.5.7:

• Fixed a possible softlock in the Bomber's Notebook. (#129)

Changes since 1.5.6:

• Fixed a softlock when fighting Gyorg during phase 2. (Thanks to Zelda Informer for the bug report!)
• Fixed yet another softlock when fighting Gyorg during phase 2. (Yes, Grezzo's Gyorg is buggy.)

A newer version is available

Changes since 1.5.5:

• For consistency reasons, Red Twinmold now always requires 2 damage cycles.
• Fixed a possible softlock when fighting Gyorg during phase 1.
• Fixed a very rare crash when fighting Gyorg during phase 2.
• The Elegy of Emptiness statue spawn mini-cutscene is now automatically skipped to further streamline gameplay in Stone Tower.
• Re-added Mask Storage. It had been accidentally removed when fast transform was added. Fast transform can now also be stored. Also re-added Ocarina Dive for testing purposes.
• Controls:
  • The Items screen is now opened with SELECT and the Bomber's Notebook with START for consistency with existing dialogue messages in the game.
  • The Ocarina can now be used by pressing D-Pad Right (when Tatl is not trying to get the player's attention). The current shortcut (ZR+A) and the on-screen button still work.
  • In Zora form, it is now more convenient to switch between fast swim and slow swim: use the D-Pad Up/Down or ZL (new). Hold ZR to slow down (this was previously done with ZL).
  • Additional button controls for the Bomber's Notebook:
    • Switch between the Schedule (timeline) view and the Events view with Y.
    • Set or delete an alarm with X.
    • Open the map with SELECT.

Note that recent versions of Citra now support BPS patching (Canary 1529+).

Changes since 1.5.4:

• Added a new fast transform shortcut for Fierce Deity Link: ZR+Up. (#92)
• Improved fast arrow switching: arrow changes are now persisted, which means that the game will remember the last arrow type Link was using, similar to how arrow switching works in Breath of the Wild. (#76) (credit to @PhlexPlexico for help and the initial implementation)
