We recently said to allow the "Hyrule Code" for runs, but as @SukeSJ said in the Changelog Forum Post [quote=SukeSJ] the decision we made with Hyrule Code and UCF was made extremely quickly by us moderators.[/quote]

And it indeed was a hasty decision with little to no discussion. Now we have decided to, instead of removing it (as we planned) and moving it back to the Category Extension Leaderboard, we have made a sub-category for "Vanilla" and "Hyrule Code".

It felt a bit unfair to keep both in the same rankings, since console runners need to reset more to get the same result. As painful and annoying as that is, it wouldn't be fair to allow people to use the code and bypass the grind (even if we had a filter one could use).

*We hope that this change will satisfy both those who want to keep it old-school without any codes, and those who detest the RNG reset. As always, feedback is appreciated, so don't hesitate to contact us moderators if there is anything we can do to improve your experience on the leaderboard! Happy speedrunning! *
