Good except for "beep once" patchClaudeDixon2022-04-13Version 1.0

I like the options here. Link to the Past has rather fast paced combat where I want to focus on the action, so while the constant beeping is annoying, I'd like to have at least SOME audio cue to alert me without having to glance at my health, while not being annoying.

That being said, the "beep once" patch is not what I was expecting. Instead of beeping once whenever you're low on health, it literally only beeps once per playthrough (as in, one time total every time you boot up the game). I don't see the use in this. For now though, the 1÷12 patch is better than nothing.

Works great!Ray1382021-08-16Version 1.0

I love it. So many options! I'm using the "eighth" option & it's perfect. A pressing reminder without being obnoxious. Big recommendation.
