Four Swords SuggestionOahron2020-08-05Version 0.1

This is great, absolutely great. The only thing I wish though is that the sound effects didn't change in Four Swords. I don't feel the GBA version sound effects fit ALttP, but they work for Four Swords in my opinion. It would be kind of neat if there was a toggle option for the different sound effects or different versions of this mod. Overall though, I really like this mod.

A much-needed patchRibb2016-10-24Version 0.1

I feel like Link yelling every time he swings his sword in combat got way too annoying too fast in battle. Unlike in the other games with Link's voice, it is too frequent and was an unwelcome change.

This patch remedies that, making a better experience for the player.

Oh my god, WHY!?Mysterii2016-10-17Version 0.1

No

Just

No.

I don't see why this is getting praise, because the voices...

...are not even bothersome. Ever hear of minimal voice acting? This game is proof that it works, but removing them just makes it seem like it would never work. Besides, I didn't see anyone complaining about Link doing it in OoT or Majora's Mask. And considering that the patch also covers Four Swords, it also kills the tension surrounding Vaati.

This port is truly the definitive version now!Truner2016-06-19Version 0.1

I kinda of liked the voices in the Super Mario Advance games (mostly because they are not as overused), but voiced Link in ALttP? No, thank you. This patch does exactly what it states to do. I cannot confirm if it affects Four Swords in any way, however.

Oh my god Thank youprincessbrandy2016-01-05Version 0.1

The Voice Link had from OOT in this port was annoying and is the reason I skipped this port but thanks to this hack the voice is gone and the game is now playable. Thank you, I highly recommend this hack as it fixes the issues I had with this game.
