Version 1.2 is now released. Updates include (straight from readme file):

     - Fixed an issue with collision borders for special collision on the overworld not drawing properly.
     - Fixed an issue with the text editor only drawing one special icon after updating the text.
     - Fixed an issue with 3-byte collisions not loading properly if x/y were too big.
     - Fixed an issue with the minimap editor crashing if map value was larger than 0x64.
     - Fixed an issue with map 7's (overworld) map data not saving correctly.
     - Enabled map value for dungeons as well as enabled all regions to be selected for indoor maps.
     - Enabled 3-byte objects to be of length zero (no practical use, just prevents crashing).
     - Added copying, pasting and deleting features for overlay data.
     - Added new features to the dungeon minimap editor.
     - Added an export dungeon map feature.
     - Added a repoint collisions/objects feature.
     - Added an X and Y label for the current map tile you hover over.
     - Added a portal editor (this edits object 0x61's warp destinations for the overworld and dungeons).
     - Added a basic palette editor (not capable of repointing).
     - Enabled the sprite viewer/bank editor. This is in its very early stages and is capable of very little.

I am almost certain that overworld owl statues are the exact same as signs. Looking at maps that already contain the owls with the sign editor shows that they have a pointer to the text they use. They are just signs, but they look like owls.

I never did look much into the event IDs, but like you said there is a list of a decent amount (all the main ones anyway). I do know that ID 1, trigger 0 is used in the entrance of the colour dungeon. Never looked into what it actually does though.

Also trigger 4 is used in the colour dungeon at the very end, where you get the tunic (fairy room). Once again I did not look into exactly what it is, but those are where they are used in the game for sure if you want to look into them.

Yeah this is nothing new. I think in my LALE Update 3 video I showed how I had the base sprite tiles drawing for maps. That means I already have the sprite banks for each map loading and I could already make an editor for that. It is a very important feature so I might push out the most basic editing for it until I can get a real sprite/object editor made.

I just thought I would make another post to elaborate on the issue a bit. All of map 7's map data is probably overwriting map 8's. This is because the game doesn't have an S.O.G for map 7 and instead makes map 7 read map 8's; however, in my coding i failed to change it back to map 7 after saving the S.O.G byte so all the data would overwrite map 8's.

Thanks for mentioning this. I have it fixed now for whenever the next release is. If you need to change the music for map 7 immediately, simply open up a hex editor and go to 0x8007 then just put the music ID you want for that map.

Thanks a lot for finding out all these music IDs. I have went ahead and added them to the main post just so people don't have to scroll down quite as far.

I actually like the look of it quite a bit; however, I don't really get a "forum" vibe from it. It looks really nice, too nice for just some random gameboy zelda hacking forums. Still good job with it.

Contained within LALE is an initial start location editor; however, this editor only edits the position of Link if he does not spawn in the bed like the game normally does. If for some reason you wish to still have Link spawn in the bed, but you need to have the bed moved to a different location then you can use a hex editor to alter these to values:

0x152B2 - Link's Start X-Pos
0x152B8 - Link's Start Y-Pos

Simpy open up a hex editor and go to the two offsets. The values seen (if using a 1.2 ROM like you should be) can then be edited to the position you want them to (coordinates can be gotten through LALE)

Collision and warp editing is a main part of hacking Link's Awakening. I have made a 1000 year long video going over how to use the editor to edit both of them as well as how the game handles collisions and warps. It is worth the 1000 years it takes to view it and if you are struggling with figuring either of the two out then make sure to give it a watch.

The video can be viewed at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g89U7C3tKn4 (Video tutorial recorded with LALE 1.11).

LALE 1.2 will be the next update made. Currently I have a video outlining most of the changes from version 1.11 to version 1.2.

The video can be viewed at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UfZh4sA1_E

Straight from LALE's readme file, here is what some of the changes are:

• Fixed an issue with collision borders for special collision on the overworld not drawing properly.
• Fixed an issue with the text editor only drawing one special icon after updating the text.
• Fixed an issue with 3-byte collisions not loading properly if x/y were too big.
• Fixed issue with the minimap editor crashing if map value was larger than 0x64.
• Enabled map value for dungeons as well as enabled all regions to be selected for indoor maps.
• Added copying, pasting and deleting features for overlay data.
• Added new features to the dungeon minimap editor.
• Added an export dungeon map feature.
• Added a repoint collisions/objects feature. Currently a WIP.
• Added an X and Y label for the current map tile you hover over.
• Added a portal editor (this edits object 0x61's warp destinations for the overworld and dungeons).
• Added a palette editor.

All of the above can be seen within the video linked above except for the palette editor which is a new feature recently implemented.

Here is a screen shot of the overworld palette editor:

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening Level Editor (LALE) version 1.20 has been released. You can download the file here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/tzze7vrz37zzeb8/LALE1.2.zip

You will always find the latest version of LALE here on the forums and romhacking.net. If you find LALE anywhere else then it is not an official release made by myself.

Just added another rule regarding "double posting" as it is common for other forums to ban people for posting twice/bumping their own threads. Here at Zelda Hacking we do not care if you post two or more times in a row.
