Hack description

This hack contains 2 improvements that can be applied seperately or together.

-Title Skip
There is a curious version difference in the US version of A Link to the Past. In the JP and EU versions, you can press a button any time after the "Nintendo Presents" screen and go to the file select screen. In the US version, you must watch the animation of the spinning triforce and the sword each time you start the game. The "Title Skip" patch removes this version difference.

-Full Hearts
When you load up your save file, you will start with roughly half of your hearts. This patch will start you at full hearts every time, whether choosing your save file or choosing to continue after death.

Title skip, yes. Full hearts on restart? Ehh...	ClaudeDixon	2022-04-13	Version 1.0
Feel like I'm nitpicking a bit here, but having full hearts every time you restart is a bit too forgiving. This pretty much means whenever you want to refill your health in the overworld, all you have to do is save, quit, and start the game again, only you simply spawn in a specific area on the map. It would be best if upon restart you simply had the same amount of health from when you left off. That way you're not penalized for quiting the game like in vanilla, but not rewarded for it with essentially a free refill either.
