So far, I have...
Making a custom ocarina song. This includes changing the name of the song, changing the activation sequence, changing the effect actor, changing the playback sequence, and changing the zseq file. The only thing I don't have is changing the name of the song as it appears on the start menu, and that's because I don't know how to edit sprite text. Most of the non-zseq related stuff comes from you guys.
Actors, Groups, and, most importantly, adding them to a map. Your tutorial is actually wrong, in that it doesn't fix the offsets in the main file table. Without doing this, the game will load the room the first time, but freeze on any return trips.
Making enemies hookable. Neat little thing I figured out how to do, and haven't seen it anywhere else. Also, hookable bombchus are very cool.
Using switches. This one I think is rather important. I've seen very little documentation on how to use switches, which is a shame considering how big of a deal it is. I've also got a list of how to attach relevant actors to switches, though it's not complete.
Oh, BTW, I'm not sure if this is known, but I figured out how to attach chests to switches. You simply set the Z-rotation of the chest to the switch number. Also, the actor list says the function of chest variable 9XXX is unknown. It's a Zelda's Lullaby-triggered large chest.
Come to think of it, the actor list could really use updating.
