==== 0x20 - Hash Node ====
 
Hash / dictionary nodes are used to encode name value collections. Entries must sorted by their hash value.

! align="center" | Offset
! align="center" | Size
! Description
|-
| align="center" | 0x00
| align="center" | 1
| 0x20 node type.
|-
| align="center" | 0x01

|-
| align="center" | 0x04+8*N
| align="center" | 1*N
| Array of N types, on for each entry in the dictionary. This is padded to 4 bytes.
|}
 
Each entry in the dictionary has the following structure.

| Value. For regular value nodes, this is the 4 byte node value. For other nodes, this is a 4 byte offset to the node relative to the start of the file.
|}
 
==== 0x21 - Value Hash Node ====
 
This type is the similar to the hash node with the addition of a 4-byte value in each dictionary entry.

The v3 format seems to be identical to v2 but with the 64-bit node types added.
The v3 format seems to be identical to v2 but with the 64-bit node types added.
=== Extensions ===
Nintendo uses several file extensions for BYML files in BotW. The basic format is the same even though each kind has a different purpose and contains different parameters. Known extensions:
* [[Baischedule|.baischedule]]
* [[Baniminfo|.baniminfo]]
* [[Bgdata|.bgdata]]
* [[Bgsvdata|.bgsvdata]]
* [[Bquestpack|.bquestpack]]
* [[BYML|.byml]]
* [[BYML|.byaml]]
* [[Mubin|.mubin]]
TotK has added the following extensions:
* .bgyml
