SUMMARY
"Zelda 3" animations for Link do not display in Zelda.exe as intended
VERSION
ZC 2.55 Alpha 85
OPERATING SYSTEM
Windows 10
BUG DETAILS
Zelda.exe does not display the correct animations for "Slash", "Stab" and "Pound" when the Animation Style is set to "Zelda 3". Instead, Zelda.exe defaults to the standard behavior of "Original" and "BS-Zelda" animation styles.
While editing and previewing Link's sprites in ZQuest, these animations are displayed correctly. "Slash" is expanded to 6 unique frames of animation, "Stab" is expanded to 3 unique frames of animation, and "Pound" is expanded to 3 unique frames of animation. This represents the original intention of the developer who first implemented Zelda 3 animation for Link, but it was never fully implemented in Zelda.exe itself.
HOW TO REPRODUCE
These tile sheets contain Slash, Stab and Pound animations arranged in the manner ZQuest.exe expects:
Set up the above tile sheets in a quest. Preview the Slash, Stab and Pound poses in all Animation Styles. You should see that ZQuest will render the longer animations when the Animation Style is set to "Zelda 3", and they are noticeably different than what it renders when Animation Style is set to "Original" or "BS-Zelda".
Then, save the quest and play it in ZC. You should notice that when Slashing, Stabbing, or Pounding, the game only renders the animation as if it were set to "Original" or "BS-Zelda" styles.
