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.
