Breath of the Wild: Zelda

Zelda from Breath of the Wild, in her white dress. (Blue outfits are not in the game files)

This submission attempts to replicate the original game's shading as best as Source will allow, you must rely exclusively on the map's preset lighting to get proper results. Dynamic lights will not work correctly with the lightwarp effect.

An alternate model is included that uses traditional shading techniques and a completely custom texture built from scratch for Source. Load zelda_alt.mdl to use it.

In addition to general cleanup and enhancement, I've rerigged her shoulders to deform much better, and completely replaced the bones and rigging on her dress since it was originally too complex for Source's weighting limitations. The facial bones are also now available for use with custom rigging for Source.

Features:
-Replicated BOTW shading
-Alternate model that uses traditional shading and custom textures
-Alternate skin for damage detail
-Cleaner facial textures
-Facial bones with brand new rigging to work right under Source's limitations
-Extensive range of HWM-ish (limited dominators) facial flexes
-Significantly improved rigging and restructured dress bones
-Procedural bones set for the wrist helper to automatically twist the wrist when the hand twists
-Premade poses for the eyes and hands, phoneme presets are also included
