So I was playing Link's Awakening on the Zelda G&W and realized that they didn't bother to patch the game breaking bug where you can permanently lose the wrecking ball in dungeon 7. So, I am unable to beat the game.

Such a fucking lazy job. If you are going to port over the original B&W version, at least patch all the bugs in that one. That's why I like the DX version better.
