Description
Skyward Sword's (SOUE01) banding issue is back. Here is a screenshot from the wiki that demonstrates it clearly.

It used to be that you could use anisotropic filtering to fix it (according to the forums anyway), but now it doesn't work. I did however find a way to make it work, but uh...

As you can see, EFB to Ram without the cache does not have the banding on Link. Unfortunately, it breaks the background far worse than the problem it solves. EFB to Texture and EFB to Ram with cache both have the proper background, but banding.
I only recently got the game, so I do not know what revision broke the AF trick. And I have no idea why EFB to Ram without cache corrects it. But this is what I found. Sorry I can't be of more help.
