OOT Rando

OOTRando

This program takes The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and randomizes the locations of the items for a more dynamic play experience. Proper logic is used to ensure every seed is possible to complete without the use of glitches and will be safe from the possibility of softlocks with any possible usage of keys in dungeons.

The items that randomize currently are all items within chests, items given as rewards by NPCs including from minigames and Deku Scrub salesmen, and the items obtained when getting the Bottle and the Fire Arrows at Lake Hylia. Due to technical limitations, chests in "generic" grottos are not randomized, but chests in unique grottos are (one in Kakariko, one in the Sacred Forest Meadow). All dungeons will always have the same number of Maps, Compasses, Small Keys, and Boss Keys they had in the original game, but which chests within those dungeons have those things is random. Not including the freestanding Pieces of Heart

Certain types of items are now "progressive", meaning that no matter what order the player encounters these items they will function as a series of upgrades. The following item types will be progressive chains:

-Hookshot to Longshot -Bomb Bag to Big Bomb Bag to Biggest Bomb Bag -Goron Bracelet to Silver Gauntlets to Gold Gauntlets -Slingshot to Big Bullet Bag to Biggest Bullet Bag -Bow to Big Quiver to Biggest Quiver -Silver Scale to Gold Scale -Adult Wallet to Giant's Wallet -Deku Stick Capacity Upgrades -Deku Nut Capacity Upgrades

 Additionally, any NPC who gives a trading quest item either for the child or for the adult does not have a randomized reward, and for now, the Biggoron Sword, Fairy Ocarina, and Ocarina of Time are not randomized.

The Ocarina songs are shuffled in a pool amongst themselves, and each learn spot will still have the original conditions it has always had. These conditions may not have all been obvious, but here are some high points. Saria will teach her song after completing the events in the Castle Courtyard. The warp songs can mostly only be learned by an adult, but the location for Requiem of Spirit is available for even a child if the Desert Colossus can be reached. The location for the Prelude of Light requires the Forest Medallion, the location for the Nocturne of Shadow requires the Forest Medallion, Fire Medallion, and Water Medallions, and the location for the Serenade of Water requires the player to possess the Iron Boots even if they are not actually in their normal chest.

To be very clear on this point, freestanding Pieces of Heart (those not in chests or given directly by NPCs) are not randomized, and while the rewards for up to 50 Gold Skulltulla Tokens are randomized, the tokens themselves are not.
