This is some really nice documentation, and in one spot rather than strewn about. Major props for consolidating the information here!
In contrast, Ocarina of Time has been thoroughly torn apart, but the documentation isn't centralized anywhere. A lot of it has ended up in pastebins and shared through discord servers. I do worry that a lot of the knowledge will be lost once reversing the game is less in-vogue.
An example of this is that someone read through the assembly of how the fishing minigame works, which has many dependent variables. Various factors affect how quickly you can catch a fish, and which size you will catch. Speedrunners have abused this information to make the fishing minigame as 'easy' as possible despite it being based on random chance. It's a really fascinating read[0][1]... too bad it will eventually be lost to the sands of time.
