Hey there,

while waiting for the release of the Seiken Densetsu Collection in June and playing Breath of the Wild, I had the idea for a hack to change the graphics/palettes according to the armor someone is currently wearing.

I spent a few hours on this Wednesday, and got at least so far that the colors change when you change the armor, as you can see here:

Can anybody provide some knowledge about the whole sprite organization thing in SoM? That would be really helpful because then I would not have to work through it by myself.
As far as I can tell, there must be a lot of lists that tell the program to build the "animation steps" of the hero out of 8x8px sprites, furthermore there must be a WRAM register where a pointer is stored that tells the program which animation step is to be used. Is it structured that way? Does anybody have so notes on that? Anyone willing to share?

I was able to make a small app that display sprites animation. I have a few docs, but some might be outdated or contain false info. so add me on skype : "facebook:zhadeth" it will be easier that way
