Hack description

This patch is supposed to slightly improve Link's appearance in the GBC Zelda games while maintaining the same style as before. More detail to Link's hair and belt was added, the Mirror Shield doesn't look hideous from the side anymore, and a few animations were re-shaped to look more natural. Graphics were applied using YY-CHR.
Patches have been provided for the US releases of Link's Awakening, Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons.
