Why?
It's done. For swing or shot you can use own sound or not use at all.
Simple jump ability is exists, but jump over objects and beatwen terrains, i don't know... You can make it on standart events.
I never play Zelda game series, but i heard about Zelda battle system, it's good. I need check it on some version of game later. But now, i don't understand clearly how "grab objects" will work and help for battle gameplay.
Yes, you can. Plugin commands exists.
If you have town on own map, you can disable ABS at all. But if you have town like a part of map, why you not create NPC like a simple events? (not AI related)
Anyway, create "pause" system i think it's not big deal, but i can't promise it to release, maybe after with updates.
