Welcome, modders! This page is intended to be a collection of useful information for new and existing modders.
Getting Started - Tools
Since BotW uses a lot of Nintendo's own file formats, you'll need tools to be able to edit them. To use leoetlino's tools, you need to install the latest version of Python (64 bit version), and tick the "Add to PATH"/"Add to environment variables" box in the installer. Then, to install the tool, run `pip install TOOL_NAME` in the command line.
- Many files in the game are compressed with Yaz0 compression. Compressed files generally have the letter s prefixed to their file extension. To decompress and recompress these files, use wszst(use the download marked Cygwin if you're running Windows).
- BYML files contain game parameters. Convert them to an editable format (and back) with leoetlino's
bymltool. - AAMP files also contain game parameters. Convert them to an editable format (and back) with leoetlino's
aamptool. - SARC archives contain other files, sort of like .zip folders. Extract, edit and re-pack them with leoetlino's
sarctool.
