UPDATE : Purple Link files aren't in all costumes , for example the Kokiri costume doesn't have a purple color.

I'm guessing you noticed the purple colors present then lol.

Edit: Also I hit a snag.

Seems that there may be another model overlaid on top of where the edited textures render? Or the textures are meant to be more transparent and the game maybe adds color with shaders? Will keep testing...

Yeah , i'm looking for the text/dialogues files , have you found them ?

There are some szs files in Archive/US/USen,USfr etc that may have them? I'll try and open one in a second.

I extracted the binaries but it seems like it can't be opened

(Except with Notepad where you can see a bit of data.)

Hmm... I'm not sure then. I don't usually do much text modding, just textures models and music mainly. Which by the way the music seems to be regular old bcstm files from the looks of it. But I'm starting to be afraid that the models may have vertex colors on top of textures as the textures are nearly transparent in the editor, but my screenshot shows it almost being laid under the actual model... it's odd.

Ouch , btw the title screen music seems to be Title.ry.32.dspadpcm.bcstm

Yeah, doing more digging and looking through a shader file and see some things about the order of render possibly... (seems to be a texture overlayed with a basic flat color, then possibly the normalmap?). And that's good to know. May try some musical changes in a bit here.

The "unused data" in the first post is false. The viewer used was using the wrong colour format.

I realised this myself btw , where did you find the dialogues of the game ?

Oh ok , it's these files what did you opened them with ?

I opened the msbt files with my own python script that only dumps the text.

Do you have take the picture with a 3ds capture? (if not what was the method you use)

I used NTR's screenshot plugin. Does that texture actually show up like that in game? Because for both this game and Link Between Worlds there seems to be a problem with another part of the model cutting off the actual texture (as seen in my screenshot.)

have no idea the game is too biger for my sd card.

Oh. Well damn. I was hoping you had figured it out but I'm almost positive most of the colors are done either with a shader or some type of vertex colors/colored polygons.
