Version 1.9.14 Alpha

Hello everyone,

This update is an alpha release intended to gather feedback on multiple fronts (Cemu with and without Extended Memory, using Linkle or Zelda character mods, playing on Wii U hardware, etc). Please note this isn't the full release for 1.9.14, there are still a few bug fixes to be made, and tweaks that may have slipped through the cracks. If anyone runs into any strange issues please make a thread in ⁠the Second Wind Hub Discord.

This update aims to add all types of compatability, from UKMM support to better compatability for those wishing to use character mods such as Linkle or Zelda. We also expect there to be better performance and far fewer crashes with official Wii U hardware. Unfortunately we're still unable to promise no panic blood moons and Switch support is still somewhere on the horizon. This update also increases the number of bosses you can defeat in the Labours of the Hero quest to 10 (only 2 more to go). A few existing locations have been changed to allow for better performance or to fix critical bugs we've noticed, as such there may be some inconsistencies with save flags. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

As always, we appreciate all the support that everyone has shown the team. We hope you enjoy this experience and hope to have a more refined version for you to play soon.

Please note that there may be some spoilers in the below notes!
