For whatever reason, I decided to change the first quest so that you play as Vaati instead of Link.

Requires at least build 907.
Most of the items are different, and just about all of the new ones use magic.
If you have at least three full magic containers, you can change to Vaati's floating eye form by pressing L+R. The two forms use different spells and items, which are in separate sections in the subscreen.
In human form, Vaati's pretty weak, but his MP will gradually refill if he's got less than three magic containers full.
Transformed Vaati has some ridiculously powerful spells, but they burn through MP quickly.
I won't list all the new stuff, but here are a few of the changes.
Vaati's A button weapons are weaker than Link's swords and don't fire beams, but they have longer range. Their power doubles when transformed. The second requires six hearts, and the third requires nine.
Vaati has no shield. Instead, he gets barrier magic. It blocks all projectiles from every direction, even when attacking, but it uses MP while active.
Potions have been replaced by spells that convert between MP and HP. The one used in human form drains MP and restores HP, and the transformed version does the opposite.
No bombs. Instead, you get magic that fires explosive projectiles. Use it once to launch the projectile, then use it again to detonate it. Dodongos can't eat these, so you'll have to stun them and stab them.
The rings have been replaced with items that reduce Vaati's MP drain while transformed, and the second has an additional effect that I'll leave as a surprise. This means there are no items that reduce damage, but I think the heal and barrier spells make up for it well enough.
I'll publish the item scripts sooner or later, but they need a lot of cleanup first.
