Hey folx!

Nintendo just released version 1.5.0 for Brace Yourself Games' game within the last 6 hours as of the time of this post. Go download it!

A lot of bugs that were posted to them have been fixed, some quality of life changes were introduced for Aria especially (but also for other characters), and most importantly: Future Hyrule is no longer desync'd!

One thing in the patch notes that some may wonder if it would affect times, though: the massive nerfs to Boots of Leaping

• They wear out much faster now
• Only one pair will spawn each seed now

However,

• very few runs have been submitted for v1.4.0 (largely because of the post-death boss damage killing the player bug and the Future Hyrule desync); and
• those runs hardly "abused" Boots of Leaping enough to get to an average of sub-20-minutes for Story: Any% runs (most only ever had one pair, and while they ran them out at a slower wear pace, the runs themselves weren't played entirely optimally; i.e. they could have been even faster with more practice and even more usage of Leaping),

Because of this, I am opting to NOT make a new version value for 1.5.0, despite the in-game leaderboard wipe. Most of the changes in the game will entice more people to run the game again, thus pushing our collective skills to get better times than were ever submitted in 1.4.0.

Continue posting new submissions to "1.4.0+ (Current Version)"!

Happy speedrunning!
