Hey all, for the past few weeks I've been working on inserting the sprites from The Minish Cap into A Link To The Past... here's a video of the progress so far (and yes, there are a lot of graphic glitches that I'm still trying to fix)

I've run into a few issues though:
- Link doesn't always have his shield equipped in TMC, so no direct sprites can be transferred
- there is a slight size difference between the two games (often only by 2px or so)
- TMC uses more frames per animation, so the movement in LTTP may look a bit choppy

Either way, I plan on sharing the sprite sheets either when I've completed Link's graphics or when I've given up (whichever comes first)


Currently, I'm at the stage where I'm burning out... so I thought I'd ask the rom hacking community:
Do the graphics that I've replaced look buggy?
-and-
Is this something I should continue work on?

Hey, thanks for the replies guys

It's pretty ridiculous how good the GBA graphics look compared to the SNES... especially considering that they had the capabilities back in the 90's to have these upgraded graphics on the SNES, but lacked proper direction in the art department haha

I noticed you changed up the faerie and hearts as well as some indoor graphics. Do you plan on doing other sprites besides Link?


I'm mainly working on Link (there's a lot more sprites than I expected... and it's difficult figuring out which image is which, they all start to look the same after a while). I've been doing a little work in the other areas of the game, but it's only when I start getting frustrated with Link and need something easy to work with...

Thanks for the encouragement guys, I'll post some new stuff here in a while...

Hey all, need a bit of help from any LTTP players... I've searched all over other people's sprite sheets, and I cannot for the life of me find what 4 of these frames are used for: E-8, F-6, F-7, and K-1 (chart attached)... I could just fill in with guess work, but I won't be able to test the graphics to see if the new sprites fit or not... thanks in advance!

Also, the graph acts as a chart for what I've finished thus far... the visible sprites I have yet to do...



I'll post another video soon, I've been updating some of the weapons too, and I like showing off

getting closer! and once I'm finally finished with the project, I'll be releasing all sprite sheets / notes that I've taken

also, a few extras:
- changed the flute duck to MC's Zeffa
- changed "wishing / praying" to playing the Ocarina
- unfortunately I forgot to insert the 2bpp images like the new weapon designs, I'll show them off in the next video
- stole the hammer style from the Smithy in LTTP

hope y'all like it
