Well, against my own forecasts, I finished with all sprites today! They were done with Link as a base and many were slight modifications, but still got the thirty or so out of the way already.
There's still heavy lifting to do: besides the opening, which is the hardest single part of the hack by far, there's fourteen full screen bitmaps to edit or redraw. Those are just redraws though, no palette swapping hell like in the intro.
I ran both the original and the hack one beside the other, and already there's things to improve. I hadn't noticed, but Link's hat and cowlick flip flop when he moves, and that adds a bit of whimsy to his stroll. I checked Echoes of Wisdom and I can get the same feeling of movement with Zelda's cloak or hairbun. We'll see tomorrow!
