Hookshot version

v2.1.0

What kind of problem

Graphics (missing, black or wrong-coloured things, lighting, flicker)

What happened

--Really Dark ground textures and Overcast Shadows--
After playing for a few minutes in Hyrule Field, lot of unnecessary shadows are casted over various distances and fields while running around in Hyrule Field, along with the ground turning obnoxiously dark. The area on which these shadows are casted seems to change as link walks around the field.

--Ground Textures issue--
After playing for a while, the ground textures (almost every texture linked to the ground) becomes very threadlike and smeared with more occurrences seen after the latest update. These occurrences are only currently seen mostly in Hyrule field, and such issues is minor to moderate in other regions which only occur during certain loading period.
