Collision

This is a sub-page of Development:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Enemy Damage Reactions#

While there are 16 entries reserved for enemy reactions to damage, only the following are used:

However, z_ocarina2/src/z_collision_param.h contains an older and more extensive set of labels that are commented out.

Enemy Damage Tables#

z_ocarina2/src/z_collision_param.h contains a list of labels for enemy damage tables. The following labels are of particular interest:

The HORSE damage table is zeroed out, meaning that horses don't take damage from anything or have one of the reactions in the section above. It may be a remnant of the horseback combat functionality that was eventually realized in Twilight Princess.

The NPC2 table is also zeroed out, and the decomp project hasn't noted anything that references it.

According to the decomp project's findings, the NPC table is referenced by the actors En_Du (Darunia), En_Go (unused early Goron), En_Ma1 (Child Malon), En_Ma2 (Adult Malon (Stable & Lon Lon Ranch - Ingo Ousted)), and En_Ma3 (Adult Malon (Day)). There are hostile Gorons in Twilight Princess. Perhaps something similar was intended for Ocarina of Time?

Attack Types#

z_ocarina2/src/z_collision_param.h has remnants of removed items in its list of damage types. Many actors have a table defining these values, but the values corresponding to removed items, such as the Dark Magic and Wind Arrows, are never referenced during normal gameplay.
