In some quests with multiple layers, the fifth layer, the sixth layer, or both have been used to further enhance the scenery.  Opaque, non-opaque, and translucent combos are placed on such layers to provide visual effects: ambient lighting and shadows in a forest, ceaseless rain around a murky swamp, sand blowing about in a desert storm, snow falling on cold mountain trails, clouds at high elevations obscuring narrow mountain paths, and haze and shadows in dark dungeons.

 

What I seek right now are scenery elements pertaining to the Twilight Realm from Twilight Princess.  I am about to construct a quest/overworld/dungeon set in the Twilight Realm, and I require such fifth/sixth layer elements to provide the surreal, sublime environment of the Twilight Realm besides dark grass, trees, dungeon tiles, etc.  I have yet to play Twilight Princess, so any accurate elements of the Twilight Realm, especially from those familiar with the game, are welcome.

 

I intend to use a Classic Tileset but can adapt elements from a more modern tileset without too much difficulty.

One of the things that made the Twilight Realm look how it did was something called bloom lighting. This basically made everything look like it was glowing. It would be hard to re-create that aesthetic in ZC, but I think you could use some sort of 'fog' effect. You could also make little black squares that float around, and change size. The colors are pretty bright, but washed out at the same time. The sky is always orange and black (though in ZC that won't matter, unless you have a screen with the sky in the background).
