Aside from that nitpick though, I will say that I do think the revision is overall pretty solid and as people have said, it's great that the set now calls attention to a lot of cool little easter eggs (one of which not even I knew about with turning the cucco into a lady), and my favorite achievement of all is getting Zelda as your first maiden because it's a showcase of how non-linear this game can be if you decide to mess around with different crystal orders.
Although I still have a few last achievements to pick up (mainly the ganon's tower related ones and all the items/chests in light world), I am looking forward to wrapping this set up later today, so kudos to the revisionist(s) for an interesting Hyrulian revisit!
Mentally I was done with the set the moment I got the last achievement and have no intentions of doing the revised stuff. Another gripe I have is that the achievements added are always really stupid shit that adds nothing at all. I felt the previous set was perfect and didn't need any of these pointless ones added.
I feel like there should be a time limit to how long a game set can be up before its set in stone, and can no longer be revised. I think like this is one of those games. that's just my opinion though.
The set took me a few playthroughs overall but the game is pretty short. Even if you're like me and don't know any speedrun tricks whatsoever, I don't see anything here that was tedious or too hard. Which is a plus from me after trying certain sets on this site. Between utilizing the three save slots and backing up saves as you go, it really isn't that bad to tackle these if you like the game.
I don't get why people complain about revisions. If there are cheevos being added that aren't super tedious/RNG, while being somewhat interesting, keep'em comin! Thanks for the set.
