I noticed it too when I was trying to hex edit the saves for Metroid Fusion, I would change a few hexes in the save, and it would still load. I never did find what really worked lol.
because I already got burned out with breath of the wild, which for the most part is essentially the same game, and then again with master mode, which doesn't work as a new game plus (that always felt bizarre to me)
i just got a stream deck (mobile cause i'm broke) and i've been messing around with the soundboard. and i found out that my vine boom sound was delayed because of it.
