botw VS botw

I beg to differ, there is currently a project to decompile Breath the Wild. The goal of this project is for understanding the game’s mechanics, not to create an executable file, but if someone really wanted to and didn’t care about the legal ramifications they absolutely could reverse engineer the source code of a game

There is a decomp of Breath of the Wild but the dev says is not for playing is just to understanding the game code and how it was made https://botw.link/

I've been inspired by the BotW disassembly (see https://github.com/zeldaret/botw) as well as the success in backporting Sonic Mania to the Wii U (https://github.com/Clownacy/Sonic-Mania-Decompilation-Wii-U). So clearly this is something that's doable. The only minor complication is that this will require soldering a bit more RAM into the Wii U, I already did this myself when I made a portable Wii U a few years ago; should be no problem for anyone with even a modest background in EE. You would of course also need a soft-modded Wii U and external HDD to run the game; there are plenty of tutorials on how to do this.

I was browsing the BOTW decompilation project here to better understand how Star Fragments spawn. I've noticed when I'm waiting for Star Fragments on top of Dueling Peaks, for example, occasionally one doesn't spawn when it "should".

I think they are working on that. Unless I'm misunderstanding this page

Thanks for reading. Data from : game files, extracted by myself. You can find a copy at this adress.

Lastly, you can check out this data I am referring to here: https://github.com/leoetlino/botw/blob/master/WorldMgr/normal.winfo.yml

BotW actors all use a file called SBACTORPACK. Inside these SBACTORPACK files are a .bumii file and .bumii files contain all face info relating to minor Hylians and minor Sheikah (alongside color values for the other races). The face values match up identically with the values Miis have so you go into the .bumii, you replace the data with the Mii you want, and then you pack it back up and see the custom character in-game. There's a Github that's publicly visible that shows off all the UMiis, though not all of them are Hylian. The spreadsheet lists who is a minor Hylian/Sheikah NPC though.
