Damage Charts

Information

Damage charts are a common table found in multiple actors. It determines how an enemy should react when hit with various attacks, allowing for a great deal of customization.

Structure

The damage chart is a structure that is 0x20 bytes long. Each byte within the damage chart stores info on being hit by a particular attack (or attack group).

& 0F = Damage
& F0 = Effect Type //The effect of any value is actor dependent. 

Index	Weapon(s)	Attack Type
00	Deku Nuts
01	Deku Stick Pot	Slash Throw
02	Slingshot
03	Explosions
04	Boomerang
05	Arrow
06	Hammer Swing

Example

Let's look at a Deku Baba

DEKU BABA
10 02 01 02 E2 02 02 02 F1 F2 F4 24 02 02 02 02
02 24 00 00 00 00 F1 F4 F2 F2 F8 F4 00 00 04 00

The 10 byte stores the effect and damage that will occur when a Deku Baba is hit with a Deku Nut. The 1 digit is the effect that occurs when the Deku Baba is hit, which a stun effect in this case, while the 0 is the amount of damage the Deku Nut will deal. So the deku nut stuns it without doing any damage. Effect ids vary from enemy to enemy. For instance, the freeze effect id is 3 in a guay, but is 0xF in a tektite.

Arrows 6, 7, and 8 are not simply repeats of the fire arrow. The fire arrow animation may act as a place holder, but these arrows have their own damage mappings within the enemy damage charts.
Also the 3 additional arrows don't use magic when used.

Item drops

Like Likes only give the large purple rupee when defeated with light arrows. So? Well, all 3 beta arrows give unique items when used to defeat the like like.

Item	Drop
Light Arrow	Huge Purple Rupee
"Wind" Arrow	Magic Jar
"Spirit" Arrow	Arrow
"Shadow" Arrow	Fairy

Loading the arrows in-game

The arrows can be loaded by modifying function 80834380 in ovl_player_actor (0000, Link), or by execute breakpointing 80032458 in RAM and changing the variable before the ActorSpawn function is called.

Finding damage charts in any actor

A bit of knowledge of MIPS assembly helps to understand this part.

Finding the damage chart in RAM is quite easy; there is a pointer to it that is located 0x98 bytes after the start of the actor type lists. Finding the damage chart in ROM takes a little more effort.

First, get the assembly source of the actor you want. They can be found here for MQ Debug and here for MM Debug.

Once you have the actors' source (in assembly), look for the first jal to 0x800FA958 (for MM Debug) or 0x8005C364 for MQ Debug. Before the call to that function, you will see something like: lui t6 %(data_offset) - In MM Debug t6 will not be the register, it will be a3. Regardless, data_offset will be the label of the damage chart of that enemy.

An alternate method (but mostly the same) can be seen here.

Damage Chart Offset Documentation

NOTE: Keep in mind that these offsets were found before there was any accurate way of locating damage charts; some documentation and definitions may be incorrect.
