Usage in Breath of the Wild
Sound/LoopAssetList.blal
This resource is found in Bootup.pack.
Its canonical resource path is "Sound/LoopAssetList.blal".
A standard loop asset list can be found in Sound/. It is loaded in Sound::init (called from ksys::InitializeApp) and afterwards only used indirectly by SoundLink.
