Zelden Ring

一款受塞尔达传说启发的艾尔登法环重纹理包，包含磨损的大师剑、破旧的海利亚盾、林克的服装和帽子，以及可选粉色梅琳娜重纹理作为塞尔达。 Optional .bin file allows you to carry the sword on your back. Compatible with seamless cooperation mode.

Zelden Ring - The Legend of Lost Grace

🌟Mod Overview

我对现有的塞尔达模组不太满意，所以决定自己制作一款——希望能融入《艾尔登法环》世界观的模组：粗犷、古老、磨损，更加贴近游戏基调。

This mod pack focuses on texture and mesh replacement, letting you take on the role of Link (and fellow Zelda) in The Junction.

🗡️ Master Sword

• **Replacement Item**: *Noble Rapier*
• Models based on this mod
• Original 3D model made by Yogensia on Sketchfab
• I completely retextured it to make it look **dull, weathered, and ancient** - more in line with the legendary buried sword
• Completely removed the scabbard as I thought it looked awkward in game

🛡️ Hylian Shield

• **Replacement Items**: *Double Bird Kite Shield*
• Inspired by this mod
• I thought the original was too shiny and clean for Elden's Circle
• So I **tweaked the materials and created completely new textures** - worn, scratched, worn, more visually grounded
• Optional version increases defense stability to 65, making it operate like a large shield

👕 Link Clothing

• **Tunic**: *Bandit Cloth Armor* → Retextured to match Link's classic green outfit
• **Hat**: *Sage's Hood* → Recolored to Link's hat
• **Pants and Boots**: *Prisoner Trousers* → now resemble Link's simple white pants and boots
• **Gauntlets/Boots (optional)**: I personally use *Kalia Knight Gauntlets* to complete the silhouette

👑 Zelda style Melina (optional)

• File: `c2180_h.texbnd.dcx` in `chr/` folder
• Recolored Melina's outfit into a pastel pink dress, vaguely evoking Princess Zelda
• Works well with the UnAlone mod
• **Delete this file** if you don't want it - completely optional

🆕 Hylian Cloak Tunic (Added June 5, 2025)

• **Replacement Items**: *Scarlet Cloak Tunic*
• Reimagined as **Link's Tunic** with richer greens and scuffed effects
• Contains **subtle embroidery of the Hylian crest** - hard to spot unless you're specifically looking for it
• A nod to the down-to-earth, Elden Circle style of hero costumes
• Upload as **separate files** for easy organization

⚙️ Optional files

You don't *need* these if you're just using textures - but I've included some ready-made regulation.bin files in case you want some extra functionality but don't know how to edit/merge your own.

Just remove the "NOTE" from the end of the filename to use.

• **UnAlone + Back Sword + Shield Strengthening**
• Sword on back (like Zelda)
• Hylian Shield gains 65 defense stability
• Compatible with UnAlone companion mod (as of June 4, 2025)

• **Noble Rapier - Back Sheath Only**
• No attribute changes, just let you carry the Master Sword on your back

• **Sword of Night and Fire - Back Sheath**
• If you prefer to use the sword, this one also allows you to carry it on your back
• *Untested, but should work - let me know if it doesn't*

📥 Installation instructions

• Requires Mod Engine 2
• Place the `parts/`, `chr/` and (optional) `regulation.bin` files into your Mod Engine `mod/` folder

The folder structure is already organized

• Use `launchmod_eldenring.bat` to launch Elden Ring

---

🔄 Compatibility

• ✅ May be compatible with **Seamless Work** - these are texture/model swaps only
• ⚠️ May conflict with other mods that replace the same files
• If you're using something other than Mod Engine, just install it the same way you would install any basic texture swap

---

❓ Troubleshooting

**Texture not showing? **

• Make sure you are using the Mod Engine correctly and that your folder structure is intact
• Check that the file extension is correct (no "NOTE" in the file name)

**Melina’s equipment is not pink? **

• You may have other mods installed that override `c2180_h.texbnd.dcx`

**The game won't start or crashes, or other mods aren't working? **

• Try removing the optional `regulation.bin` file
• May conflict with other mods editing `.bin` (e.g. item/spell changes) …
