Description
Turn your eyeball statues into living gargoyles by letting them blink! Use them to startle a player or add depth to your dungeons.

In order to cut down on tile usage, these statues employ combo cycling. After grabbing the tiles from the downloadable GIF, create two new combos, which I will refer to as "Combo X" and "Combo Y." Set Combo X's tile to the first tile of the download, its type to "Eyeball A," its A. Frames to 4, and its A. Speed to 224. Click the "Restart Animation when Cycled To" box. For Combo Y, set its tile to the first tile after the name stamp, its type to "Eyeball A," it's A. Frames to 8, and its A. Speed to 0. As before, click the "Restart Animation when Cycled To" box, but this time, set it's "Next" combo to Combo X. Now, set Combo X's "Next" combo to Combo Y. Place Combo X wherever you want the statue as you would with any other combo, and you're set!

I picked 224 for Combo X's A. Speed so that the eye will blink once every fifteen seconds. You can set this to any value up to 255 based on preference. For reference, a value of 179 is equivalent to once every twelve seconds, 149 for ten, and 74 for five. Please trust me on these numbers; I did the math. You can also set Combo Y's A. Speed to 1 or 2 if you want a slower blink.

It's a bit of work, but in my opinion, it's worth it. Enjoy!

Update notes: While this version of the submission uses only 96 tiles, the original version required 2040 since it did not use combo cycling. This behavior was better suited for older versions of Zelda Classic which did not support restarting a combo's animation when cycled to. For your convenience, both versions have been included in the package. Also note that the eyeballs are colored to fit Pure, but can be easily recolored as necessary to fit into any palette.

These are my modifications to the Pure Tileset's eyeballs which were taken from Wild Bill's "Oracles Eyeballs" which were ripped from the Oracle of Ages and Seasons Game Boy Color games, which were made by Nintendo... Yeah.
