Installation

It is strongly suggested users use the web generator from here:

https://ootrandomizer.com

If you wish to run the script raw, clone this repository and either run Gui.py for a graphical interface or OoTRandomizer.py for the command line version. They both require Python 3.8+. To use the GUI, NodeJS (v20 LTS, with npm) will additionally need to be installed. NodeJS v14.14.0 and earlier are no longer supported. The first time Gui.py is run it will need to install necessary components, which could take a few minutes. Subsequent instances will run much quicker. Supported output formats are .z64 (N64/Emulator), .wad (Wii VC, channel IDs NICE/NRKE recommended), Uncompressed ROM (for developmental purposes, offline build only) and .zpf/.zpfz (patch files, for sharing seeds with others).

This randomizer requires The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time version 1.0 NTSC-US. This randomizer includes an in-built decompressor, but if the user wishes a pre-decompressed ROM may be supplied as input. Please be sure your input ROM filename is either a .n64 or .z64 file. For users playing via any means other than on real N64 hardware, the use of the "Compress patched ROM" flag is strongly encouraged as uncompressed ROMs are impossible to inject for the Virtual Console and have random crashing problems on all emulators.

For general use, there are four recommended emulators: Project64 (v3.0+), Bizhawk, RetroArch and Dolphin (latest beta). All are race-legal when configured appropriately. In a nutshell the differences are:

• Project64 is the lightest emulator and the easiest to setup, however, you will need the 3.0.0 version or later to run OoTR well (and earlier versions are not permitted for use in OoTR races).
• Bizhawk is the most resource-intensive, but easier to set up than RetroArch and the only race-legal emulator to support Multiworld.
• RetroArch is less resource-intensive than Bizhawk and the only of the three N64 emulators to work on platforms other than Windows, but it can be frustrating to set up.
• Dolphin lets you emulate Wii VC, giving you access to faster pauses. It's also lightweight, available on other platforms than Windows, easy to setup (on Windows at least) and offers good native support with most Gamecube Controller Adapters. It does come with more lag, although that can be mitigated through overclocking (this is not permitted for racing).

Please follow the guides on our wiki carefully to ensure a stable game experience and that the settings requirements for races are met. OoTR can also be run on an N64 using an EverDrive, or on Wii Virtual Console. For questions and tech support we kindly refer you to our Discord.

General Description

This program takes The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and randomizes the locations of the items for a new, 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 randomizer will ensure a glitchless path through the seed will exist, but the randomizer will not prevent the use of glitches for those players who enjoy that sort of thing, though we offer no guarantees that all glitches will have identical behavior to the original game. Glitchless can still mean that clever or unintuitive strategies may be required involving the use of things like Hover Boots, the Hookshot, or other items that may not have been as important in the original game.

Each major dungeon will earn you a random Spiritual Stone or Medallion once completed. The particular dungeons where these can be found, as well as other relevant dungeon information can be viewed in the pause menu by holding the D-Pad buttons on the C-Item Menu. Note, however, that the unlock conditions for dungeon information are settings-dependent.

As a service to the player in this very long game, many cutscenes have been greatly shortened or removed, and text is as often as possible either omitted or sped up. It is likely that someone somewhere will miss the owl's interjections; to that person, I'm sorry I guess?

Getting Stuck

With a game the size of Ocarina of Time, it's quite easy for new Randomizer players to get stuck in certain situations with no apparent path to progressing. Before reporting an issue, please make sure to check out our Logic wiki page. We also have many community members who can help out in our Discord.

Settings

The OoT Randomizer offers many different settings to customize your play experience. A comprehensive list can be found here.

Plandomizer

"Plan"-domizer is a feature that gives some additional control over the seed generation using a separate distribution file. In such a file you can:

• Place items at specific locations or restrict items from being placed at specific locations.
• Add or remove items from the item pool.
• Select items to start with.
• Set specific dungeons to be vanilla vs Master Quest.
• Set which trials are required.
• Set any regular settings.

Caveat: Plandomizer settings will override most settings in the main OoTR generator settings, particularly list-based settings like enabled tricks or starting inventory. For example, if the Plandomizer distribution file contains an empty list of starting items, and the generator settings include additional starting equipment, the player will start with none of them instead. You will have to edit the Plandomizer file to change such settings, or delete completely the line in the Plandomizer file with the given setting to allow the main generator to alter the setting.

See the Plandomizer wiki page for full details.

Custom Models

Save the .ZOBJ file of the desired model in data/Models/Adult or data/Models/Child. The file must be in .ZOBJ format (the compressed .PAK files are not compatible), but most Modloader64 models will work. Exceptions are models which are larger than the base Link models (the randomizer will give an error message) and those created on the new pipeline (technically load but the textures get wonky). Please see notes regarding known model files that are floating around in this spreadsheet before asking why a model doesn't work.

Once the models are saved, the program may be opened and the model(s) selected under the Cosmetics tab.

If the model's skeleton is similar enough to Link, the randomizer will use Link's skeleton. If it is substantially different, then a note will be placed on the pause screen to make it clear that the skeleton was changed.

Known issues

Unfortunately, a few known issues exist. These will hopefully be addressed in future versions.

• The fishing minigame sometimes refuses to allow you to catch fish when playing specifically on Bizhawk. Save and Hard Reset (NOT savestate) and return to fix the issue. You should always Hard Reset to avoid this issue entirely.
• Versions older than 3.0 of Project64 have known compatablity issues with OoTR. To avoid this either update to v3.0 and follow the rest of our Project64 guide or change to one of our other two supported emulators.
• Executing the collection delay glitch on various NPCs may have unpredictable and undesirable consequences.
• This randomizer is based on the 1.0 version of Ocarina of Time, so some of its specific bugs remain.

  • New World setting Shuffle Thieves' Hideout Entrances, which requires first shuffling interior entrances, shuffles the Thieves' Hideout rooms into the interior entrance pool.
  • New shuffle setting Shuffle Silver Rupees shuffles the silver rupees into the item pool. To solve a silver rupee puzzle, you will need to find all the associated silver rupees around the world. You can also use the setting Silver Rupee Pouches to make some or all of the silver rupees grouped into pouches so that, similar to key rings, all silver rupees for any given puzzle will be found in a single item location.
  • New timesaver setting Ruto Already at F1 which, in Vanilla Jabu Jabu, makes it so that Ruto is already present on the first floor of the dungeon (in the room with all the orifices you fall down) instead of having to carry her up there to set that flag.

  • Owls are now included in the Warp Songs misc hint and will tell you where they go when enabled.
  • New options for hint distributions, both of which are lists of gossip stones defined inside the entry for a hint type:
    • remove_stones: When defined, each gossip stone in the list will be excluded from receiving this hint type. For example, if ToT (Left) is inserted into the remove_stones list inside the dictionary for always hints, then no always hint will be placed on ToT (Left).
    • priority_stones: When defined, gossip stones in this list will be given priority when placing the specified hint type, in the order they're defined. For example, if ToT (Left) and ToT (Right) are inserted into the priority_stones list, in that order, inside the dictionary for always hints, the first always hint will be placed on ToT (Left) and the second always hint will be placed on ToT (Right).

6.1

New Features

• Objective Settings

  • New setting Reachable Locations replaces All Locations Reachable and adds a new option "All Goals" which ensures that all goal items for Ganon's Boss Key and the Rainbow Bridge are reachable, regardless of how many are required by the setting.
    • For example, if the Rainbow Bridge requires 4 medallions, all 6 medallions will be guaranteed reachable.
  • New setting LACS Condition to select what goal items are required for the Light Arrows Cutscene, separate from whether Ganon's Boss Key is placed there. (Additional settings are added to control how many.)
  • Ganon's Boss Key now allows you to set it to the Light Arrow Cutscene (and use LACS Condition to set its objective) or for it to be directly awarded when meeting a configurable target number of Spiritual Stones, Medallions, Dungeons completed, or Gold Skulltula Tokens. (Additional settings are added to control how many.)
  • New Rainbow Bridge option Random that will choose one of the other options at random (besides Skulltula Tokens), and require the maximum of that goal (if applicable).

• Hints

  • New option Misc. Hints controls whether the Temple of Time altar and Ganondorf give hints, defaulting on to preserve behavior. Hell Mode disables this setting.
  • New goal hint type for use in custom hint distributions.
    • Default goals are included for the Rainbow Bridge, Ganon's Castle Boss Key, and Ganon's Trials settings.
    • Hints read as "They say that Kokiri Forest is on the path to Twinrova.", where the medallion or stone reward from defeating Twinrova can be used for the bridge or Ganon's Castle Boss Key. Twinrova is not necessarily required depending on other settings. For example, with 2 medallions for the bridge, all medallions accessible without entering Ganon's Castle, and Spirit Medallion on Twinrova, the hint only points to one possible path to building the rainbow bridge.
  • Hint distributions can now filter areas from being hinted as foolish, via putting the area names in remove_locations.
  • Various other hint distribution changes for named-item hints, including a new vague_named_items option for hint_dist_user that will name the location but not the item.
  • The dungeon name is now provided when hinting keys.
  • Allow special characters (such as the é in Dampé) to appear in in-game hints.
  • Certain Unicode characters and control characters like 'Ⓐ' and '⯅' can now be used in hint texts to refer to the corresponding in-game symbols.

  • New #MajorItem item category for Plandomizer allows placing a random major item. This won't include songs unless Song Shuffle is Anywhere.
  • New #Vanilla item category for Plandomizer allows placing the item normally at the location.
  • New Plandomizer support for defining custom item groups.
  • New Plandomizer support for defining custom song note patterns (rhythm is still random).
  • Allow Plandomizer to override otherwise randomized settings.

• Tricks

  • Added King Zora Skip - Adult Link can make a precise jump to climb atop the fence next to King Zora from the audience chamber.
  • Removed Forest Temple MQ Twisted Hallway Switch with Hookshot - This was determined to be a clip and therefore not allowed in glitchless rulesets.

• Misc.

  • Allow Giant's Knife as a starting item.
  • Added a file data/custom_music_exclusion.txt where one can specify which music files shouldn't be shuffled in with random custom music.

  • Prevent areas hinted as barren from having a location hint.
  • Fix trying to place hints when we've run out of stones.

• Misc. Seed Generation

  • Fixed a bug where importing from a settings string might not choose the correct hint distribution depending on platform or number of custom hint distributions in the Hints folder.
  • Skip Child Zelda in Multiworld (with Song Shuffle: Anywhere) now correctly provides items to the right player.
  • Skip Child Zelda in Triforce Hunt (with Song Shuffle: Anywhere) now avoids starting having already won (by preventing Impa from giving out Triforce Pieces at all if there are more players than Triforce Pieces needed to win).
  • Fix some potential failures for placing junk.
  • Fix disabled song locations getting a general junk item instead of a junk song.
  • Fix some spoiler entries for visible ice traps.
  • Fix error thrown on some operating systems for capitalized file extensions .N64/.Z64.

Other Changes

• Added Nayru's Love back to the minimal item pool on high damage settings.
• Allow settings with a 'Random' option to be different per-world. (This does not permit settings randomized only by Randomize Main Rules to be different per-world.)

• Entrance Randomizer: Prelude of Light and Serenade of Water are considered useless in ER if the only ER option enabled is Random Spawns (which already cannot be placed in certain areas where any items are necessary to escape).

• Added settings validation for unittests.
• Added unittests for settings presets.
• Use HTTPS for the version check to github.
