Keysanity/boss random PB!

5 Upvotes

Final time 2:35. Decided to try something other than my normal open ganon on stream. Did pretty good. Had to do Silverless ganon. Fell a couple times, but finally made it happen. Some of the boss shuffles were funny, and I didn't realize that it also shuffles the refights in GT. I think I still like my normal open ganon more, but I will def try that again. not next stream tho haha.

Entrance tracking with Crossed Logic?

4 Upvotes

I have been using Orphis's Entrance tracker, but I can't seem to figure out a way to have it show me available checks in Darkworld with crossed entrances. Is there a way to do it, or a tracker that can? I am trying to clear my first Cross seed without using the spoiler log at all, and I keep getting stuck, not realizing a place in the dark world is accessible with what I have, and that having my progression.

Thanks for any help.

Currently playing a seed where I have gone everywhere I can currently go but was stuck.

Checked the spoiler log and it has the morph ball located Crocomire E Tank

I've spent the better part of last night trying different routes thinking I forgot about some secret way into Crocs room but I have no way to access any of the rooms the route there.

Pretty linear overall, just go to the crystal dungeons. Dodged all the pendants minus TT front

Completely brain dead this run. Locked myself in POD dark maze by hammerjumping without a small key. Climbed the front of west DM in go mode instead of east. Almost died on laser bridge, so just abandoned the bottom two checks. Almost died two weeks in a row to Trinexx.

Waiting to find out that I missed a sword or boots in POD or TR..

No Quit Success

Post image
12 Upvotes

Made a post earlier about a run with no Save/Quit and no Deathwarps. Third attempt was a success. Decently solid run overall. Got very scared when I was stuck in Darkworld with under 10 checks left and no mirror, but it worked out. My execution was actually much worse than normal, but I handled it. My only regret for this run is that I died a few times, mainly at the north dark room in Eastern Palace. While I can do that room with no lamp, its not clean and its not guaranteed. I took video of the whole run, with commentary, but I haven't decided if I wanna make dedicated streaming profiles and start doing that.

Discussion No Save/Quit or Deathwarp

1 Upvotes

I’ve been really curious about how a run with no save quits and no death warps would work, not only in terms of time, but if it’s even possible. I’m doing open seed Ganon. I know my biggest potential trap is getting locked into the dark world. Accidental deaths are permissible, but frowned upon, as I’m trying to have better execution. Wish me luck, and please put any questions or concerns down below.

Pretty late to DW access (I only remembered the glove while on my way to shovel) and delayed desert for a long time, so mitts were pretty late too. Abandoned most mitts checks for dungeons and hit go with ether.

Enjoy my terrible deaths to Trinexx and on the GT climb

Auto-Tracker with LAN controller support

Post image
10 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I just recently found out about ALTTP Randomizer and was blown away. As I was learning to play, I had a hard time tracking everything as I play mostly from my bed at night. I play from an old laptop and used a manual item tracker on my Ipad. This was getting cumbersome to say the least. I did manage to get https://alttp.localhorst.tv/dunkatracker/index.html working, but I wanted a bit more since having to look up spoilers was also cumbersome.

I went down a rabbit hole of AI trying to create something I wanted out of a auto-tracker. Needless to say it evolved into something else. Below is a link to the github.

https://github.com/alttp-auto-tracker/ALTTP-Auto-Tracker/tree/main

These are some of the Features...

  • Permalink / seed link upload
  • Controller mode (phone / website)
  • Item tracker (detailed view option)
  • Entrance notes for entrance shuffle
  • Auto crystal / pendant tracking
  • Practice mode / Race Legal
  • Spoiler route (Practice only) — next item + map marker highlight
  • Chest screenshots (Practice only, vanilla modes) — WIP
  • Run history with notes; compare two runs
  • Certificate on completed game
  • Timer auto-starts on a run; pauses on menu / save & quit
  • OBS streamer browser URL
  • Live sprite tracker on the map
  • LAN sync (phone + PC + OBS)
  • Modes: Standard / Open / Inverted · Keysanity variants · boss & entrance shuffle

Let me know, either good or bad what you think. I wasn't going to publish this as I only made this to make my playing a bit easier. I am sure I didn't do enough research and there is something out there like this, but even if 1 person find this useful, that's a win.

I've run into this roadblock, TR, Swamp and Mire still in play. I have no hookshot, no book, no cane.
I need hookshot to get book, book to get cane, and cane to get hookshot in TR. I have basically everything else. Did I make a mistake with the seed creation? this shouldn't require glitches afaik.

Help Needed Hello! New to the randomizer, just had a question about hard locks

Post image
5 Upvotes

So I decided to try it out, super fun! Not for speed running, I'm taking my time. I'm just enjoying it as a new way to experience alttp. Makes me think and do stuff out of order, it's cool.

My question though, is it possible to break your game? For example, I COULD go fight Agahnim in Hyrule Castle atm. I have the master sword and moon pearl. But I know after you beat him, your saves will start you in the Dark World on the pyramid. Without the magic mirror, I can't return to the LW, right? Does the logic system take that into account? Like, the magic mirror is 100% in the DW and I just haven't found it yet?

Not that I'm champing at the bit to go fight him anyways, since he doesn't give you an item. So it's not like my record will "open up" more by beating him. I'm just curious. This has been very fun though! Thanks for any help!

Also sorry if this is a really obvious question answered elsewhere.

I fell in love with this randomizer

29 Upvotes

Two weeks ago, after watching a race from a 2018 tournament, I tried my first ever randomizer with alttpr and I had a blast. Growing up with that game, I felt like I was discovering it again. At first I had no idea what I was doing and what even a check was (no, I didn't understand half of what the commentators were saying in that video). Someone pointed out trackers and I started using one to help me wrap my head around all this.

Today I just finished my 17th run! It was not a good one. Silver arrows were locked behind a fetch quest that needed the book that was in pendant Ice Palace, the last dungeon I visited. I tried beating Ganon with no silver before and I don't feel good enough for this kind of play yet. Anyway it took me 2:40:45 which is far from my now usual 2:20ish. I play standard with randomized swords. I stopped using a tracker after my fourth run to convince myself I still have a good memory despite my age.

Anyway, I'm hooked now. This scratches both my rogue itch of not knowing what is going to be thrown at me and roll with it (love me some StS or Monster Train) and that nostalgia itch of playing that game that meant so much to me growing up. Looking forward for my first sub 2 hours (closest was 2:09, twice)! After that milestone, I think I'll try a keysanity run.

Anyway, I just wanted to share that good feeling I have playing this randomizer!

My PB after so many tries

Post image
25 Upvotes

I play on Open world, Keysanity, Completionist, Sword randomized... on Android (so no auto tracker... actually with no tracker at all).

Usually play one daily and my PB was 3:37, and before that one 3:38... today after a week of no playing (was on vacation), did this one of 2:52. Had a really good seed with tier 4 sword before any dungeon, and got pretty fast the pearl, flippers, boots and golden gauntlets

Can I reallistically improve this? With the settings I play what is the expected time for a pro? I think I reached the skill roof for me on these settings

Also, what can I do to add more difficulty? Tried random entrances and didnt like it (stupidy hard without tracker), and random bosses was kinda boring with all the thieves

Discussion Split data?

2 Upvotes

Is there any resource for split times in ALTTP/ALTTPR to base one’s performance against? Like how long a bootless escape should take? Obviously with rando no two games are the same and in that instance of escape someone might be bomb hunting or what have you. But yeah if you know of any place that keeps that sort of data please let me know!

Pretty straightforward seed. I did SW early on the first DW loop (after pod) given fire rod. Put off the mountain for a long time, so by the time I finished the DW loop, I went to hera and hook only opened swamp. Mitts for go (other than checking MM/TR medallion), thankful for an easy sword in shed or it would have been a MS finish.

So Many Runs, and I Don't Think I've Ever had this Key Spawn Here...

11 Upvotes

I've been playing randomizer for a long time, but over the last few years, pretty much Completionist Keysanity runs exclusively.

Can't be 100% certain, of course, but I really don't think I've had this key spawn here, like, ever.

Haha, just a fun thing to share in the midst of a 3am run.
