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, 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. | Since BotW uses a lot of Nintendo's own file formats, you'll need tools to be able to edit them.
