The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons/RAM map

NOTE: All values in Tables are Hexadecimal unless noted otherwise.

The following article is a RAM map for The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons.

Bank 0 ($C000 - $CFFF)

TBD

RAM	Length	Purpose	Note
$C5C0 - $C5FF	64 Bytes	Unappraised rings carried
$C602 - $C606	5 Bytes	Player name
$C616 - $C61D	8 Bytes	Rings owned
$C61E - $C61F	2 Bytes	Deaths
$C620 - $C621	2 Bytes	Enemies killed since file creation	When total killed enemies reaches 0x3E8, 0x01 is added to $C6CA to set a flag for Vasu to give the Slayer's Ring, and this no longer increments when killing enemies.
$C622 - $C625	4 Bytes	Time passed since power-on
$C627 - $C628	2 Bytes	Rupees earned since file creation	Value is represented in decimal. Example: If the total earned rupee count is 8,473, the hexadecimal representation will be 0x8473. When a rupee gain pushes the value over 0x9999, the value is then set to 0x6363, the value will no longer change, and $C6CA is then incremented by 0x02 so that Vasu will give the Rupee Ring the next time he is spoken with.
$C629	1 Byte	Message Speed	0x00 - 0x04 Some higher values yield hilarious results such as a letter appearing once per few seconds.
$C63A	1 Byte	Current level bank
$C63B	1 Byte	Current Absolute Overworld Screen OR Current Relative Dungeon Screen	On the overworld, all 256 map tiles are represented in order; left to right, top to bottom, 0x00 - 0xFF. Inside a dungeon, only map tiles that are valid rooms are represented while empty map tiles are not counted; the only empty map tiles that are counted are the ones leading up to the first valid room in order, then from there, the value only increases with each valid room.
$C63C	1 Byte	Current Absolute Dungeon Screen	Unlike with $C63B, all tiles on the dungeon map, including ones that do not represent a valid room, are counted in order; left to right, top to bottom, 0x00 - 0xFF.

$C6CA	1 Byte	Vasu Ring Flags	0x01: Slayed 1,000 Monsters — Slayer's Ring 0x02: Collected 10,000 Rupees — Rupee Ring 0x04: Saved the World — Victory Ring Based on what events have occurred, the above values get added to this address. Obtaining each corresponding ring from Vasu then adds the corresponding value multiplied by 0x10 to this address. Example: If the value is 0x03, the player has collected 10,000 rupees and slayed 1,000 Monsters [0x02 + 0x01]. In this scenario, after the Rupee Ring is received, the value would then be 0x23 [0x03 + (0x02 * 0x10)], and then when the Slayers Ring is received, the value is 0x33 [0x23 + (0x01 * 0x10)].
