Hello, I assembled the most important and best mods together for this Zelda game into a complete package, so people dont need to worry about searching & downloading every single one, and even converting originally only for Citra working textures (with a little help of a few guys from a Discord server).
This is pretty much the best Quality of Life stuff with only very minor interferences between the mods that have additional buttons use.


The package includes and what you need to to a bit on your own:

- Better Link (V3 with Crescent Moon Mirror Shield)
- N64 Ganon battle area colors (way darker, first of 2 mods that exist)
- "Uncensored" nastier Deadhand more like N64 (no more pink, has back scar and is very bloody, huge teeth and larger eyesockets; downscaled from this HD version)
- Blood in the Well restored (maybe Shadow Temple is also affected)
- Invisible Shiekah Stone (message file is patched for EU and US!)
- N64 text font
- Linkified Kokiri with Saria having green hair again, adds nicer details to them
- Brighter Navi & Art-Faithful fairies

- CPad Pro / CNub usable for free camera controls
- Cheats to enhance depth of the stereoscopic 3D
- Rehid to put touchscreen controls on buttons:
Top item > ZL, Bottom item & Song selection with Ocarina out > ZR, Ocarina (& back/cancel) > Select ;
DPad- Camera/Navi > Up, Gear > Left, Map > Down, Items > Right
Different for Old 3DS (optional, need to rename and delete folders ; DPad):
Top Item > Left, Bottom item > Right, Ocarina > Down ; Items > Select

For the CPad Pro / CNub free camera controls (only work when Rehid isn't active / you can move the .json file temporarily):
  • L + R + DPad Up/Down = Increase/Decrease Sensitivity
  • L + R + DPad Left/Right = Invert Axes (Neither, Just X, Just Y, Both)

The button combo for the rosalina menu to access the cheats needs to be changed before putting the Rehid folder on the SD card or with another game, because you can't access it with the regular combination, since the buttons DPad Down and Select are taken by Rehid.
"Ocarina" button also acts as the "back" button in the main menu due to how that touchscreen position is the same,
the DPad no longer works for moving in menus due to those changes too. The CPad works perfectly fine, so no worries!
There are more ways the DPad directions and Select may work for certain inputs in some menus. You will figure it out easily

You need to have Rehid installed.
For EUROPEAN users, just change the title ID in both ID folders to a 6 where the 5 is!
Also, you temporarily need to move the "luma_eu" folder somewhere else, rename it to "luma" and put it into the SD root again, checking to allow overwriting the files.

Alt-Mod:
Original Fire Temple chanting Gamebanana Link

I didn't want Crescent Moons on objects to be ported, since they are not fitting with most dungeons and some are outside dungeons. The big blocks that need the silver gauntlets are in Spirit Temple and Gerudo Training Grounds so the Gerudo symbol makes more sense and in general I find the "censored" symbol more fitting with strength for the blocks and the switches, while for the Mirror Shield it makes a little sense with the theme of the outside desert area and it looks cool. Also this way we have *both* symbols in the game, which makes it feel complete in a way!

I'm not sure which other mods, there might be other Link models and Shield fixes, but this Link Model has by far the best looking Shields (the "Get Item" / Main Menu Link-Showcase models) and most detail ! :)
Also wouldnt know of any other required fixes, except for Young Link's hand missing in first person for the slingshot (which hasnt been fixed yet by anyone)

This looks excellent. Thank you.

Does one of the mods let me use d-pad and the A button to play the Ocarina?
 
retrospect, I guess you mean playing the notes, there is one from 6 years ago, but it drastically alters other controls too and seems to only work with english (US):

Ocarina notes on L & Dpad

Also it very likely will not work with my Rehid control sets!

Hi, I noticed a romfs_ext folder with two bps patches. I think that only emulators are compatible with this type of patches. So is it a leftover or an oversight?
 
No, this patch is for the Invisible Shiekah Stone, according to the creator it *is* (only?) intended for Citra (doesn't say a word about original hardware), but I tested it and it works perfectly fine :D
 
how would you add this to citra (or azahar), im having trubble figuring out whicfolders go where.

Yeah because the patch has two functions:
1) make the sheikah stone invisible through romfs:/actor/zelda_hintstone.zar
2) patch the dialogues to delete any references of the stone through romfs_ext:/message/{eu,na}/{eu,na}.bps

The first part it's compatible with luma but the second isn't. To fully port this patch to luma you have to extract eu and na files from oot3d romfs, patch them with eu and na bps respectively and put the patched files in romfs/message/{eu,na}/{eu,na} and delete romfs_ext folder.
Later today I will post the correct file for the pal release as that it's what I'm using.

Ah thx, nice

If the creator can port them, I also gonna update the pack with "Linkified" Kokiri (except Saria)

Here it is the European pal file for completing the hidden sheika stone mod. Unpack it in the romfs/message/eu/ folder, you can trash the rom_ext folder as it's not used by luma.

Just came across this and thought it was cool. Gonna try it out on my system. Do i just copy the two folders to the root of the sd card?
 
Hi Movie Bison ;P
Yes you just move it to the SD card root, but if you're european you need to rename the title ID 5 to a 6, and the button combo for rosalina cheats needs to be changed beforehand or in another game, the regular one doesn't work anymore due to the button remappings through Rehid
Post automatically merged:

I actually accidentially had an older version of Better Link in there, now it's fixed !

My 3ds keeps crashing whenever I try to open the game. I tried my cartridge, as well as my own rom dump, but I get the same result each time.
 
Have you enabled patching in Luma? Have you installed Rehid?

edit: no answer, I hope you got it solved. otherwise I cannot help much more
