Figured a little variety would be in order, borrowed from other games, since ZC has a shit enemy repertoire by default. And most scripts that exist are based on other zelda enemies. so why not enemies from other games? sorta. they're kinda generic but anyways:
spider: its basically a walker so maybe just a script that can make it hop short distances (think ropes dashing but not for the whole screen and faster). It has an attack animation and when it "attacks" it has a chance of inflicting poison. otherwise, simply touching it just does normal damage. it can also shoot webs in one of 8 directions (towards link obvs) which will first slow down link, and then immobilize him entirely. button-mashing will help free him sooner but otherwise it takes a bit longer. optionally, the spider will cling to link and do more damage.
wolf: maybe it can be 2 tiles long and still just 1 tall. but otherwise its also a walker that can lunge, but it can also run and outrun link. simply touching it won't hurt, but it'll also attack and have a chance to inflict bleed damage. that's pretty much it really.
true stalfos: it crumbles and you have to bomb it to death otherwise it'll come back. that's pretty much it.
deku baba: pops out of the ground and attacks link if hes in range. y'know how these go. with added effects like being able to spit fire or poison.
giga baba: like the huge ones in ocarina of time except they maybe have nearby vines that lunge at link too, and shoot/spawn spiders.
hive: spawns stingers until destroyed/killed.
stinger: giant bee sort of enemy that lunges at link and shoots poison at him. strafes in front of link a few tiles away before either lunging clear to the other side (to repeat) or just shoots poison at him. getting hit has a chance to inflict poison.
status effects: These would all be globals and each separate status effect would have 2 lists to itself: enemies that can inflict it (IDs), items that can cure it. Except for stun which could be inflicted by any enemy and isn't "curable"
aeroblight: damage dealt reduced by 25%, damage received increased 25% -- 10 seconds
earthblight: -25% crit chance (that is, whimsical ring will not work 25% of the time) -- 15 seconds
fireblight: x damage per second per second for y seconds . -- 10 seconds
waterblight: items that use magic cost 2x more to use. -- 15 seconds
Thunderblight: Increased susceptibility to being stunned -- 30 seconds
Iceblight: Frozen in place, magic is drained x points per second per second for y seconds -- 9 seconds
Opposite elements have a chance to cancel each other out. Getting hit by the same thing twice adds to the timer beyond just refreshing it. i.e. max duration of fireblight is 19-20 seconds if hit twice with it. All of these, when from the corresponding attack/enemy have a 25% chance to happen.
Stun (able to be inflicted by any enemy): Unable to move or act if x damage is received in y or less seconds. lasts 5 seconds, 2 if you button-mash. or if you get hit by something that does more than a certain amount of damage. whenever the initial damage threshold is reached there is a 50% chance to be stunned, but the damage counter resets otherwise.
Poison: x damage per second for y seconds. lasts 15 seconds.
Bleed: random damage per second (between x and y inclusive) for z seconds. lasts random amount of time between 1-15 seconds. Chance to inflict a random disease (except 5)
Disease 1: max health -30%
Disease 2: max magic -30%
Disease 3: damage dealt -30%
disease 4: damage received +30%
disease 5: random combo of any of the above. it can be just one or all four at once. including doubles. can only be cured by a great fairy
They all last 5 minutes, except for the last one which lasts 10. They can all be cured with a potion.
This is all for now I know no one's gonna do it but I might as well write it all down.
