The mechanic of fighting the ghosts of your past runs was something I has a long time ago, back when I was prototyping different types of minibosses for the game. The idea was that if you picked up the power glove, you'd have a chance to fight a ghost Faron carrying a power glove in future runs. However, due to time constraints near release, ghosts were were rushed.
This patch finally makes ghosts fun to fight in my opinion. They've been re-balanced and re-coded to be smarter, telegraph their attacks better, and actually drop the weapons they use when you kill them. To celebrate the bigger, better ghosts, I've increased the spawn rate of ghosts and added a new Ghost Buster! achievement. Enjoy!
