	The value of the first byte determines what item is in the first slot, the value of the second byte determines what item is in the second slot, etc. The ordering for the slots ~~follows the "logical" western reading order, that is it~~ starts in the top left corner and goes left-to-right and top-to-bottom. Below is a table that tells you which hex numbers correspond to which items. Keep in mind that this table is only true for these 24 bytes in the RAM.

	To give yourself Magic, set the byte at <code>8011A60A</code> to <code>01</code>, and the byte at <code>8011A603</code> to <code>30</code>. If the Magic Meter doesn't display properly, a reset should fix that. However, this is only a graphical issue anyway.		To give yourself Magic, set the byte at <code>8011A60A</code> to <code>01</code>, and the byte at <code>8011A603</code> to <code>30</code>. If the Magic Meter doesn't display properly, a reset should fix that. However, this is only a graphical issue anyway.

			To change your Gold Skulltula Token count, set the byte at <code>8011A6A1</code> to whatever hex number you want (<code>64</code> for 100 tokens). If you end up going over 100 tokens in your seed, that will have no gameplay effect. You'll just see a token count that's higher than 100, but you can still collect the rewards in Kakariko Village and satisfy your Rainbow Bridge and/or Ganon's Boss Key requirements.

	The addresses for ammo counts start at <code>8011A65C</code> and is 15 bytes long. However, only 7 of these bytes correspond to relevant ammo counts: the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 7th, 9th and 15th (see image below). These are the counts for Deku Sticks, Deku Nuts, Bombs, Arrows, Deku Seeds, Bombchus and Magic Beans respectively. Using or obtaining additional ammo without the associated ammo holder, such as a Quiver for Arrows, will immediately drop the ammo count to 0. Note that even Deku Sticks and Deku Nuts require an "ammo holder". There are two ways to prevent this. Firstly, you can right-click the relevant bytes and choose <kbd><samp>Freeze</samp></kbd> (Bizhawk) or <kbd><samp>Lock value</samp></kbd> (Project64) (no way to do this in Dolphin). Alternatively, you can give yourself the relevant ammo holders. This information is laid out in memory in a considerably more complicated way than the other "items" mentioned in this guide and are essentially "entangled" with each other and the Progressive Strength, Wallet and Scale Upgrades. So to keep things simple we will just give you the value for having the maximum of every upgrade, and after you've resolved your softlock you can revert these bytes to their original value (make sure to write them down beforehand). Go to address <code>8011A670</code> and change the first 4 bytes into <code>00 36 F4 DB</code>.		The addresses for ammo counts start at <code>8011A65C</code> and is 15 bytes long.

	In everyday life we use a "base 10 numeral system", which means that we use 10 different symbols for denoting numbers: "0-9". When we add one more to 9, we loop back to 0 but prefix it with a 1 to indicate that we've looped back once and we get the number "10". The hex editor/debugger uses a "base 16 numeral system" instead, which means it uses 16 different symbols for denoting numbers: "0-9" (for the numbers 0 to 9) and "A-F" (for the numbers 10-15). "Decimal numbers" are what we call the symbols of the first system and "hex numbers" are what we call symbols of the second system. To properly use the hex editor/debugger you will need to count in hex numbers. Fortunately, most calculators and many [https://www.binaryhexconverter.com/hex-to-decimal-converter tools] online can convert numbers between both numeral systems for you.
