Enemy Attributes

The Enemy Attributes table allows you to control the various attributes of each enemy, including their hit points, color, experience values and various types of immunity.

NOTE: The same enemies exist in several of the Zelda 2 worlds (e.g. West Hyrule, East Hyrule, Palaces). Although these enemies appear to be the same, you should think of them as separate enemies.

For example, Bots in overword areas and palace areas can have different strengths (in the vanilla game, bots in West Hyrule have 3 hit points, and bots in Palaces 1, 2 & 5 have 4 hit points).

There are 16 possible experience points values, arranged as types 0 to F. When you change the Experience value, you change it for every enemy which uses that type.

You can also change the graphics which are displayed when Link destroys an enemy. Note that the experience value and the graphics displayed are not required to be the same (e.g. see type C). There are also a limited set of small digits sprites available for constructing the experience graphics.
