Content

Just like most software, Breath of the Wild requires non-executable content files to work correctly. They are stored in the title content directory on Wii U and in the romfs on Switch.

To minimise loading times, files that are frequently loaded together or at the same time are packed into SARC archives. Because of this optimisation, a significant amount of game files are located within archives. Some files may also be present in more than a single archive with the same canonical resource name.

Actor

In top level packs such as Pack/Bootup.pack, Pack/TitleBG.pack or Pack/Dungeon100.pack, Actor contains a Pack directory in which all actor parameter files are stored inside of compressed SARC archives with the sbactorpack extension.

In addition to actor packs, Bootup.pack contains dummy actor parameter files and configuration files for the actor and AI system:

• ActorTemplate
• AIDef/AIDef_Game.product.byml
• ASSetting.bassetting
• Effect/EffectInfo.byml
• ResidentActors.byml
• Sound/SoundInfo.byml
• XLink/XLinkInfo.byml

ActorInfo.product.sbyml can be found in the top level Actor directory.
