Zelda:OOT Randomizer (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I played oot using Ship of Harkinian to play a randomized version of this game after seeing it run at GDQ. I did use easier randomizer settings than the runner did, but I just completed my first run of it.

I did need to use the log 4 times to lookup where an item was.

The first one was to find the letter to give to king zora. It was behind a waterfall in the gerudo valley.

After this, I used it to find the megaton hammer. It was in the grotto right in front of the entrace to the goron city. I was a little annoyed as I knew about this grotto and didn't check it before since I got the song of storms late in the game.

I found the longshot by beating dampe in under 1 minute or actually 1 minute on the dot. I also got the light arrows from speaking to the chicken girl as an adult.

I felt pretty good about this as 3/4 hints I needed were to find items in places that i did not know that you could find items.

I'm not a zelda expert and only played through this game casually before. So if you like this game, i'd recommend giving the randomizer a try. It breathed new life into the game.

What settings did you use? I tried the Wind Waker HD randomizer once and realized very quickly I am not skilled enough to enjoy it with the settings I used.

I think it was pretty much the basic settings. I might have changed some minor things.

The gold skulletas were not randomized but I wish I added the deku salesman into the mix.

I've never been an OOT fan, but can definitely vouch for aLTTPr (link to the past randomizer). There are many versions with different settings and it's a hoot to even watch

I love playing randomized OOT. If your a casual player and don't have the location of every chest memorized, I would strongly suggest using a map tracker, I used Emo Tracker. It lets you cross off any chests you have already found, and it will show you what chests are available to you with the items you have.

Thanks! That would be helpful. The compass quickly became my favorite item because it let me check that I got all the chests.
