Evasive hop

1. ^ abIn the N64 NTSC 1.0 code, each update sorts the control stick into one of four quarters relative to the way Link's model faces: forward, left, backward, or right, each 90° wide and centered on its direction, after turning the stick angle by the camera's. Below a magnitude of 55 the stick counts as no direction.Codezeldaret/oot

2. ^ abIn the N64 NTSC 1.0 code, the action handler the decomp calls Player_ActionHandler_10 acts on a press of A, except in a room of the indoors type, on floor type 7, or on a floor with floor effect 1 (both unnamed): with the stick backward, left, or right it starts a hop that way; with the stick forward or neutral, only while Z-targeting, it starts a jump slash if Link holds a melee weapon and can use items, and a roll otherwise.Codezeldaret/oot

3. ^ abIn the N64 NTSC 1.0 code, the backward hop (a backflip, by its animation) launches Link at a vertical velocity of 5.8 and a horizontal speed of 6.0 aimed straight behind his facing, and a sideways hop at 3.5 up and 8.5 aimed 90° to the left or right. The vertical value is multiplied by a water factor, sWaterSpeedFactor, which this pass didn't read.Codezeldaret/oot

4. ^In the N64 NTSC 1.0 code, the action that holds Link standing while he Z-targets (Player_Action_808407CC in the decomp) offers the hop handler to A, and hands control to the idle action once Z-targeting ends; the idle action's own handler list leaves the hop handler out.Codezeldaret/oot
