TreZc0: /* Before You Ready Up */

'''by LostThePirate'''

This guide will help you get set up for your first race. 

Community races and many privately organized races use [[#racetime.gg|racetime.gg]]. Previously [https://speedrunslive.com SpeedRunsLive] was used, and some people still organize races there, but the community has largely transitioned away from it.

Races can be joined using [[#LiveSplit|LiveSplit]] or through the racetime website. If using LiveSplit, make sure you can log into racetime quickly should LiveSplit fail to load a race channel or crash in the middle of a race.

''We have compiled [https://wiki.ootrandomizer.com/index.php?title=Common_Softlocks_And_Crashes a list of known softlocks and crashes] (WIP). It is recommended to read it through to potentially save you from frustration later.''

{{TOClimit|3}}
== Before You Ready Up ==

Please read the [[Racing#Racing_Rules | Rules]] and be familiar with the allowed and banned techniques for the particular ruleset of the race beforehand.

If you are joining a community race it is best to set everything up nice and early. Community race rooms are opened 1 hour ahead of time so you have plenty of time to get everything set up before they start. You'll certainly run into issues and it is easier to help you long before the race starts rather than struggling to hurry to fix everything just 5 minutes before everyone has to ready up.

If you are just playing a pickup race in one of the race planning channels ({{discord|standard-race-planning}}, {{discord|ddr-race-planning}}, {{discord|rsl-race-planning}}, {{discord|bq-race}}, or {{discord|other-racing-formats}}) the people you are racing with should be patient and be able to help you anywhere you get stuck as there is no set starting time there.

Ensure everything is working before you ready up in the race channel. Get your [[Setup#Emulators|emulator]] or console behaving; get your controller/key bindings set; get your [[Trackers|tracker]] of choice downloaded or installed and learn how to use it. Get everything ready so that you can play all by yourself without outside help.

'''Note''': [https://wiki.ootrandomizer.com/index.php?title=Project64 Project64 v3.0+], [[Retroarch]] and [[Bizhawk]] are the recommended emulators for Ocarina of Time Randomizer. In regards to race participation, Project64 v2.0, v2.1, v2.2, and v2.3 as well as ModLoader64 are '''not allowed''' for official racing. Use of all cheats is also prohibited. If you need to use a cheat code to address pause lag in Project64 v1.7 or v1.6, you '''cannot''' join an official race as long as that cheat is active. Use of texture packs to modify the game's appearance is also prohibited by the Ocarina of Time Randomizer community for official races.

Get acquainted with your streaming software; get your broadcast settings ready; get your scene layouts the way you want; get your [https://twitch.tv Twitch] channel how you'd like it. You can add Randomizer, Competitive, and/or Speedrun to your Twitch tags on your dashboard to let viewers know what kind of OoT you'll be playing.

'''Note''': Unless you are a Twitch partner or having ensured quality options, especially in restreamed races it can be detrimental to stream at resolutions and bitrates that will cause lags on your end or for volunteers. We recommend a resolution of 720p (1280x720), and a framerate of 30 frames per second. If you want to go higher, please do not exceed a bitrate of 3500 kbps. For a normal stream of 720p30, 2400 kbps is more than enough for streaming OoTR.

== racetime.gg ==
[https://racetime.gg racetime.gg] is a modern, sleek and user-friendly system that lets anyone and everyone race video games online, and is an open source, community driven site.

=== Create an account ===
Head to the rt.gg website. In the top right corner of the page you should see a <samp>Log in / Create account</samp> button. {{kbd|Left Click}} that button. On the right side is the log in form. You'll use that to log in to your account in the future, after you create it. On the left side is the <samp>Create an account</samp> form. You'll see a link to the [https://racetime.gg/about/faq rt.gg FAQ] and fields for your <samp>Email</samp>, <samp>Name</samp>, and <samp>Password</samp> and its confirmation.

Fill out these fields. The email address will need to be valid so that you can confirm the account. The name field should be the username you like to go by. Ensure you type the same password into both password fields. At the bottom of both forms is a reCAPTCHA you'll need to interact with to prove you're human. Usually, you can just click the checkbox and that is enough.

Once you have filled out the form and proven you're not a robot, click {{kbd|Create account}}. You should get an email shortly with a link to click to validate your account.

=== Connect with Twitch ===
Once you are logged into your rt.gg account, head to the top right of the screen again. {{kbd|Left Click}} the <samp>Settings</samp> button. On this page, select the {{kbd|Twitch & connections}} tab, then on the following page press the {{kbd|Connect your Twitch.tv account}} button. You'll log into your Twitch account if you're not already, then {{kbd|Authorize}} the connection. Your racetime.gg account and your Twitch account are now linked together. You're now ready to join Ocarina of Time Randomizer races.

=== Joining a Race ===
Generally a race room will be provided in one of the announcements channels ({{discord|racing-announcements}}, {{discord|freaky-friday-races}}, {{discord|standard-announcements}}, {{discord|league-announcements}}, {{discord|ddr-announcements}}, {{discord|rsl-announcements}}, {{discord|bq-announcements}}) for official races, or one of the other race planning channels ({{discord|standard-race-planning}}, {{discord|ddr-race-planning}}, {{discord|rsl-race-planning}}, {{discord|bq-race}}, or {{discord|other-racing-formats}}) for pick-up games and you can just click on that link to be dropped right into the correct room on the website. You can also see active races and races currently waiting for participants in the {{discord|current-races}} channel or on the [https://racetime.gg/ootr Ocarina of Time Randomizer] page on racetime.gg You'll probably see <samp>Current races</samp> above a bunch of <samp>Past races</samp>. You can generally join any race that is accepting entrants, so click on the one you're interested in joining.

On the race page, you'll see details of the race, including the goal, a link to the seed page if one has been generated already, and the entrants to the left, and you'll see chat and a timer to the right. Above the timer is a <samp>Join</samp> button. {{kbd|Left Click}} that button to join the race. It will then split into two buttons. <samp>Ready</samp>, which you should click once you have your seed, emulator, and stream set up, and <samp>Quit</samp> which you can click if you decide you don't wish to race. Once you've readied up, a <samp>Not ready</samp> button will appear if you actually aren't ready yet.

Once the race has been started, the timer will begin to countdown. Once it reaches 0, begin to race. During an active race you have two buttons again. <samp>Done</samp>, which you will press once you finish the seed, and <samp>Forfeit</samp> which you may need to press if you find yourself no longer able to complete the race. Both of these actions can be undone if needed, so don't worry if you accidentally hit one. Just make sure by the end of the race you aren't "Done" when you haven't finished, or that you haven't "Forfeit" if you have actually finished. The very last action you can do after having done one of these is <samp>Add comment</samp> on the race. This will be displayed in a tooltip next to your name and in the chat and is viewable by everyone. Be sure not to leave any spoilers in the comment.

== LiveSplit ==

[[File:Livesplit-race-view.png|thumb|Ensure you are using the latest version of LiveSplit for the best experience. If being in a race does not look like this screenshot, be sure to update.]]

LiveSplit is a convenient Timer program that has racetime.gg integration (as of version 1.8.8). It can be downloaded from [http://livesplit.github.io/downloads/ LiveSplit's GitHub page].

The instruction video linked there is ''very helpful'' and I recommend you check it out to learn a lot more about LiveSplit.

=== Join a Race ===

With LiveSplit open, right-click within the Timer, select racetime.gg Races, and choose from the available races that are currently accepting Entrants. On racetime.gg, the Ocarina of Time Randomizer has its own category, so you shouldn't have any confusion.

Upon selecting a race to participate in, you will be prompted to log into the website for racetime.gg races.

[[File:Livesplit-oauth.png|frameless]]

== Entering and Readying ==

To actually enter a race you'd like to participate in, [[#LiveSplit|Join a Race via LiveSplit]] or [[#Joining a Race|Join a Race on the website if racing on racetime]]. Then, click Enter Race or type {{kbd|.enter}} to join the race.

Click the link in the header below the ruleset name for a link to the seed to be used in the race. Note: This is not set too early before a race's start time, to prevent cheating. During Weeklies, for example, the seed is generated (and the link posted) approximately 15 minutes before the scheduled start time of the race.

Race participation requires streaming your run. Be sure to start your broadcast at least 5 minutes before the expected start time of the race. A bot will verify if you are live, and it can take up to 5 minutes for the fact that you are live streaming to become available to that bot. Budget your time accordingly.

Once you have ''everything'' ready to begin your run, select Ready or type {{kbd|.ready}}. Only do this after you have downloaded the seed, set your file name, had your final bathroom break before the race, gotten your cup of water, etc. Ready means '''ready''', and once everyone has indicated that they are ready, there is a 15 second countdown on racetime.

Once the countdown reaches 0, your LiveSplit timer will start automatically, if linked. '''Do not''' start your game file (and load into your house in the forest) before the Timer starts! Do not attempt to Pause your timer during a race, either - LiveSplit will interpret a Pause as completion of the race.

== Finishing A Race ==

When you are finished with a race depends on whether the goal is to ''Defeat Ganon'', ''Collect All Triforce Pieces'' in Triforce Hunt, or in casual races some other goal. The timing of finishing for defeating Ganon is the start of cutscene after you press B for the final swing. For Triforce Hunt in the Random Settings League it is once the screen is completely black, and in general Ocarina of Time racing is finished either at the last input or once the item you collected is above your head.

Once you achieve your goal, stop your timer using whatever keybinding you have set for it, click Done or type {{kbd|.done}} to complete the race. You can look in the race room to see who has finished and with what times.

If something comes up, you can click Forfeit or type {{kbd|.forfeit}} to forfeit a race. You will lose points and standing on racetime, but sometimes it can't be avoided. Be aware of the penalties for forfeiting, and try to budget plenty of time for a race.

If you think you have to quit, click Forfeit, then realize you were mistaken, you can resume the race (including all the time that has elapsed) by clicking Undo Finish or typing {{kbd|.undone}} – the race timer will continue and will include the time you thought you were out of the race.

== Racing Rules ==
{{race rule|These are several of the most important rules you must follow while racing.}}
# You must follow the [[Rules]] the current race has chosen to follow. The most common ruleset is [[Standard]], however this is not used for all races. Always confirm which ruleset a race is using if it is not in the race goal.
# You can play on [[Everdrive|the Nintendo 64 with a flash cart]], [[Wii Virtual Console]], or [[Setup#Emulators|Emulators]]. Project64 v2.x, ModLoader64, and Dolphin versions older than Beta 5.0-13963 are not allowed for racing. Note that [https://www.pj64-emu.com/public-releases Project64 v3.0+] is race-legal.
#* If playing on emulator, you must also follow the [[#Emulator Settings Requirements|Emulator Settings Requirements]].
# You may not modify the ROM in any way outside of patching it on the [https://ootrandomizer.com Randomizer website] or the Ocarina of Time Randomizer software on your computer.
#* This means changing cosmetics using the randomizer is fine. Adding stuff like models or changing textures is not. Editing RAM is also not allowed.
# Generally there are no rules for streaming except that you must do so, however Tournament races often have additional requirements.
# Spoilers should only be discussed in the relevant "results" channels on the Discord. Do not discuss them in other Discord channels or the race chat channel, and do not put them in race comments.

''The restreaming team also requests that if you use custom music, you try to keep it to only Zelda tracks if they ask you if you want to be restreamed''.

== Emulator Settings Requirements ==
{{race rule|These settings are either useful for identifying a cheater, or preventing an emulator from exceeding the capabilities of the actual Nintendo 64}}
Playing on an emulator for races requires a little bit more setup. Namely, you need to enable an FPS display. If you cannot provide this, you are required to capture the entire emulator window. '''Texture packs are not allowed during races'''.

Some options may not be available unless you are currently running an [[Setup|Ocarina of Time Randomizer ROM]].

=== BizHawk ===
To enable the FPS display, go to {{kbd|View|Display FPS}}. You can configure it further in {{kbd|Config|Messages}}.

=== Project64 ===

To enable the FPS Display (shown as DL/s), launch Project64 and load your ROM. Next, navigate to {{kbd|Options|Settings...}} or press {{kbd|Ctrl+T}} to open the Settings menu.

In the Settings menu, expand the <samp>Options</samp> list on the left-hand side and look for an <samp>Advanced</samp> section. If the <samp>Advanced</samp> section isn't showing, click <samp>Options</samp> and untick <samp>Hide advanced settings</samp>. Afterwards, click <samp>Advanced</samp> and tick the <samp>Speed Display</samp>. The <samp>Speed Display</samp> box must show <samp>VI/s & DL/s</samp>. Click <samp>Apply</samp>.

'''Lowering the VI refresh rate to 1488 is also required for racing with Project64.'''

While in the Settings menu, look for a <samp>Defaults</samp> section. If the <samp>Defaults</samp> section isn't showing, click {{kbd|Options}} and untick {{kbd|Hide advanced settings}}. Afterwards, click {{kbd|Defaults}} and change the <samp>VI refresh rate</samp> from <samp>1500</samp> to {{kbd|1488}}. Click {{kbd|Apply}}.

Finally, in the Settings menu, click on {{kbd|Config: The Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time (U) (Randomizer).}} Your <samp>VI refresh rate</samp> should display <samp>1488</samp>. If not, change it accordingly and click {{kbd|Apply}}

Keep in mind that '''you must show your VI Refresh Rate''' in both the <samp>Defaults</samp> section and the <samp>Config: The Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time (U) (Randomizer)</samp> section '''before the race starts'''.

==== Allowed Versions ====
{{race rule|Older versions of Project 64 have problematic settings, either overclocking by default or just don't work right with Ocarina of Time Randomizer}}

The allowed versions of Project 64 are version 3.0 and newer stable versions.

=== RetroArch ===
To enable the FPS display, go to {{kbd|Settings|On-Screen Display|On-Screen Notifications}} and switch <samp>On-Screen Notifications</samp> to {{kbd|ON}} if it is not already. Then, change <samp>Display Framerate</samp> to {{kbd|ON}}.

You must also show that you are using the <samp>Framerate</samp> option {{kbd|original}}, as well as having the <samp>VI Refresh (Overclock)</samp> option set to {{kbd|auto}}, before a race starts. To do this, press {{kbd|F1}} to open the <samp>Quick Menu</samp> and choose {{kbd|Options}} and scroll down to the <samp>Framerate</samp> option. This is required for the Mupen64plus Next core and the ParaLLEl core. If you are using the old mupen64plus core, this option will not appear and the text in the bottom left that displays what core you are using will be proof that you are following this rule.

=== Dolphin ===
To enable the frame display, go the settings under {{kbd|Options|Graphics Settings|General}} and check the box which says Show FPS.
Refer to the [[Dolphin|Dolphin]] for setup help to make sure your settings are race legal.
Be aware that you need to show your settings menu to prove that your {{kbd|Speed Limit}} setting is set to 100% and that your {{kbd|Clock Override}} setting is disabled.

==== Allowed Versions ====
{{race rule|Older versions of Dolphin did not emulate loading the ROM from the WAD properly and skipped the Classic Controller text}}

The allowed versions of Dolphin are Beta 5.0-13963 and newer. The newest beta is almost always recommended.

=== v7.0 ===

==== New Features ====

* '''Settings'''
** New setting <code>Dungeon Shortcuts</code> opens shortcuts in blue warp dungeons to the boss room. This is toggleable per-dungeon, and affects glitchless logic.
** New setting <code>Shopsanity Prices</code> adds additional price range options when Shopsanity is enabled, including "Affordable" which sets all prices to 10 rupees (to match the same option in Scrub Shuffle).
** <code>Chest Size Matches Content</code> has been replaced with <code>Chest Appearance Matches Content</code>. Unique textures are applied to chests containing major items, small keys, boss keys, skulltula tokens, and remaining items. An additional option also changes chest sizes like the previous setting.
** New cosmetic setting <code>Disable Battle Music</code> turns off the battle music from being near enemies, allowing the background music to continue uninterrupted.
** New setting <code>Plant Magic Beans</code> automatically plants all the Magic Beans from the start.
** New setting <code>Key Rings</code> which can be enabled per-dungeon to replace all of its individual Small Keys into a singular Small Key Ring containing all the small keys for that dungeon. Key Rings also have their own model.
** Setting <code>Randomize Ocarina Song Notes</code> can now be set to either "row" of songs individually, i.e. "Frog Songs" or "Warp Songs", in additional to the "Off" and "All Songs" options.
** MQ Dungeon settings have been replaced with <code>MQ Dungeons Mode</code> which allows finer selection of which dungeons are MQ, or how many are at random.
** New setting <code>Shuffle Boss Entrances</code> allows boss rooms to be shuffled between dungeons. This is not available in glitched logic.
** <code>Misc. Hints</code> has been expanded to a multiple select setting allowing you to fine-tune which set of misc hints to enable or disable.

** New setting <code>Easier Fire Arrow Entry</code> allows you to set the amount of torches that must be lit to open Shadow Temple.
** The pause screen info menu has been split into 3 menus, which show icons on the D-Pad indicating which direction leads to which menu. In addition, the menu now tracks the total keys you've found for a dungeon, not just how many you have remaining. The old menu from pressing A still exists as well.
*** You can also make it so these menus only appear when holding A along with the D-Pad by disabling <code>Display D-Pad Dungeon Info</code>.
** New setting <code>Invisible Chests</code> makes all chests in the game invisible. Note that this setting does '''not''' introduce additional Lens of Truth requirements in logic.
** New setting <code>Bonks Do Damage</code> will deal damage to Link when bonking, including <code>One Bonk KO</code> which will instantly kill him from bonking.
** New hint type <code>Dual Hint</code> which allows multiple locations to be hinted in the same hint. Hint distros can also use new option <code>upgrade_hints</code> to upgrade some hints to Dual Hints.
** New <code>Chaos</code> hint distribution which gives all hint types equal likelihood.
** New setting <code>Blue Fire Arrows</code> gives Ice Arrows the power to melt red ice and mud walls to give them more utility.
** New Misc. Hint <code>Dampé's Diary</code> which reveals the location of a hookshot.
** New item pool setting <code>Ludicrous</code> makes it so every check will be a major item.
** <code>Shuffle Dungeon Entrances</code> has new setting <code>Dungeons and Ganon</code> which puts Ganon's Castle into the pool of dungeons which can be shuffled.
** New setting <code>Pre-Completed Dungeons</code> which allows some dungeons to be filled with junk and their dungeon rewards given as a starting item.
** New setting <code>Regional</code> for dungeon items makes it so dungeon items such as keys will be placed in the same region as their dungeon. For example, if Small Keys are set to Regional, then Small keys for Forest Temple can be found in the temple itself, Sacred Forest Meadow, Lost Woods, Kokiri Forest, or Deku Tree.
** <code>Skip Child Zelda</code> and <code>Shuffle Weird Egg</code> have been combined into one setting <code>Shuffle Child Trade Item</code>.
** The Adult earliest and latest trade item settings have been combined into a multiselect <code>Adult Trade Sequence Item</code> which allows you to choose whatever items you wish as the starting item for the adult trade quest.
** New setting <code>Minor Items in Big/Gold chests</code> places shields and bombchus in major item chests when any <code>Chest Appearance Matches Contents</code> setting is enabled along with it.
** New setting <code>Fix Broken Drops</code> adds a magic jar drop in GTG and a pot that drops a deku shield in Spirit Temple. These spawns were present in the code already but would not actually spawn due to the respective objects not being loaded.
** New settings <code>Adult Link Model</code> and <code>Child Link Model</code> allow you to select a .zobj model file to replace Link's look in-game.
** New section under SFX labeled <code>Link</code> has options <code>Adult Voice</code> and <code>Child Voice</code>, allowing you to choose to either silence Link or change the voice to feminine to match your chosen player model. Adult and child female voices provided by Maple and shiroaeli in the Discord, respectively.
** New Misc. Hints for each of the Skulltula rewards makes it so each of the cursed family members who give a randomized reward will tell you what the reward is before being rescued. This precludes those locations from being conditional always hints.
** New setting <code>Shuffle Rupees & Hearts</code> which allows you to shuffle freestanding rupees and recovery hearts in the world.
** New settings <code>Shuffle Pots</code> and <code>Shuffle Crates</code> which allows you to shuffle items from pots and crates that normally drop an item.
** New setting <code>Pot & Crate Appearance Matches Contents</code> which changes the pot/crate texture when using one of the above settings, similar to <code>Chest Appearance Matches Contents</code>.
** New setting <code>Shuffle Beehives</code> which allows beehives found in certain grottos and in Zora's Domain to drop an item.
* '''Gameplay'''
** Shortened the animation for equipping magic arrows.
** You can now use the child trade item (Zelda's Letter, masks, etc) as child using D-Pad Right.
** Red Ice transparency is increased when any Chest Appearance setting is enabled.
** Zelda's text after defeating Ganon now advances automatically.
** Health and Magic potion models in shops will now match your health and magic colors when <code>Item Model Colors Match Cosmetics</code> is enabled.
** The Gerudo guard on the Wasteland side of the gate will now spawn regardless of settings.
** Several vanilla warp destination messages have been updated to keep consistency with our custom warp destination messages.
** Removed the cutscenes when throwing a bomb at and blowing up the boulder in front of Dodongo's Cavern.
** Certain switches in MQ dungeons have been moved down 1 unit so they are less difficult for Link to walk onto.
** The "Truth Spinner" puzzle in the Shadow Temple's solution is now seeded per seed, so that the correct skull will be consistent across players racing the same seed.
* '''GUI'''
** Migration to latest Angular and Nebular framework versions
** Dark Mode toggle
** Support for modern Node.JS versions (>= Node.JS v16)
** Compatibility with newer Linux builds and ARM based Macs
** Improved mobile design in web mode

==== Bug Fixes ====

* Plandomizer
** You can now specify an arbitrary 4-character hexadecimal text ID as a "Gossip Stone" to overwrite text in the game.
** Adjusted how <code>starting_items</code> works in order to remove some redundancy, where it is now placed within the settings dictionary.. Spoiler output now includes a section <code>:skipped_locations</code> instead which is not used by Plandomizer.
** Gold Skulltula Token requirements can be increased above 100 (the pool must also have at least that many).
** Plandomizer will now display an error and inform the user if they have specified conflicting settings within the plando.
** New plando item groups available: <code>#Map</code>, <code>#Compass</code>, <code>#BossKey</code>, and <code>#SmallKey</code> for placing a random one of these dungeon items in a specific location.
** Cosmetics plando has added three new groups which songs can be placed in <code>bgm_groups</code>:
*** <code>favorites</code>: Songs placed in this group will be given priority when placing songs.
*** <code>exclude</code>: Songs placed in this group will be ignored when placing songs.
*** <code>groups</code>: In here you can place a dictionary where the key is a custom group name and the value is a list of sequences, and use <code>#GroupName</code> similar to item groups in normal plando to place any song from that group in that location.
* Triforce Hunt changes
** The number of Triforce pieces available per world, which was previously tied to the item pool setting, is now a separate setting.
* Replaced old output option <code>compress_rom</code> with four separate options for outputting a patch file, compressed ROM, uncompressed ROM, and a WAD file.
* Patch files from the web version of OoT Randomizer version 3.0 can now be used in the offline build. A <code>.zpf</code> patch file will be output in addition to the selected output types.
* On the randomizer dungeon info screen, a Gold Skulltula icon appears for dungeons where you have collected all the Gold Skulltulas.
* Maximum heart containers is now capped at 20. Pieces of Heart and Heart Containers collected after 20 will still restore your health but will not add to your hearts.

=== v6.2 ===

==== Bug Fixes ====
* '''Misc. Seed Generation'''
** Fix seed generation for multiworld with random trials.
** Fix seed generation for <code>All Goals Reachable</code>.
** Fix a minor optimization for counting needed Skulltula Tokens.
** Fix some erroneous category tags for locations.

==== Other Changes ====
* Allow foolish hints to apply even if an area has an Always hint (but no other types).
* Renamed setting <code>Enable Useful Cutscenes</code> to <code>Enable Specific Glitch-Useful Cutscenes</code> for clarity.

=== v6.1 ===

==== New Features ====

* '''Gameplay'''
** New setting <code>Reachable Locations</code> replaces <code>All Locations Reachable</code> and adds a new option <code>All Goals</code> 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 ''plandomizer only'' setting <code>LACS Condition</code> 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.)
** <code>Ganon's Boss Key</code> now allows you to set it to the Light Arrow Cutscene (and use <code>LACS Condition</code> 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 <code>Rainbow Bridge</code> option <code>Random</code> 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 <code>Misc. Hints</code> controls whether the Temple of Time altar and Ganondorf give hints, defaulting on to preserve behavior. Hell Mode disables this setting.
** New <code>goal</code> 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 <code>remove_locations</code>.
** Various other hint distribution changes for named-item hints, including a new <code>vague_named_items</code> option for <code>hint_dist_user</code> 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.

* '''Plandomizer'''
** New <code>#MajorItem</code> item category for Plandomizer allows placing a random major item. This won't include songs unless Song Shuffle is Anywhere.
** New <code>#Vanilla</code> 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 <code>King Zora Skip</code> - Adult Link can make a precise jump to climb atop the fence next to King Zora from the audience chamber.
** Removed <code>Forest Temple MQ Twisted Hallway Switch with Hookshot</code> - 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 <code>data/custom_music_exclusion.txt</code> where one can specify which music files shouldn't be shuffled in with random custom music (offline generator only)
** Ruto now knows what kind of medallion or stone she gets in Jabu Jabu.
** Randomized songs' note patterns are now included in the spoiler log.

==== Bug Fixes ====

* '''Gameplay'''
** Adjust the weather system to fix the fog glitch.
** Disable Sandstorm transitions in certain cases in Entrance Randomizer. In particular, this prevents Sandstorm transitions from triggering strobe effects due to a bug.
** Remove the Door of Time collision while the door is opening.
** Cache chest sizes and colors in the actor to reduce some latency with Chest Size Matches Contents.

* '''Entrance Randomizer'''
** Smarter replacement of required warp songs when warp songs are shuffled.
** Fix hint area validation to work with shuffled warp songs.
** Fix dungeon entrance hints.

* '''Plandomizer'''
** Correctly consider plando'ed prices in logic, and limit set prices to a range of -32768 to 999.
** Fix duplicating placed shop items.
** Properly randomize starting age and time of day when plando sets it to random.

* '''Hints'''
** Make hints in Triforce Hunt function based on the required number of Triforce Pieces and not the total number (improves Way of the Hero hints as well as compatibility with Guaranteed Reachable Locations set to Required Only).
** 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.
** <code>Skip Child Zelda</code> in Multiworld (with Song Shuffle: Anywhere) now correctly provides items to the right player.
** <code>Skip Child Zelda</code> 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.)
* Updated sometimes hints.
* Renamed some regions, locations, items, etc to match vanilla names. This will make Plandomizer files incompatible between versions.
** Gerudo Training '''Grounds''' -> Gerudo Training '''Ground'''
** Gerudo Fortress -> Thieves' Hideout (when referring to the interior areas or the carpenter rescue quest)
** Graveyard Composers' Grave -> Royal Family's Tomb
* Giant's Knife and Biggoron's Sword are considered useless in glitchless logic but not in glitched.
* 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).
* Entrance Randomizer: Allow Kakariko Potion Shop and Impa's House to have their entrances appear in different areas if all hints are off.
* Entrance Randomizer: When warp songs are shuffled, the confirmation text now shows the actual destination.
* Text Shuffle: Expanded the "Shuffled except Hints and Keys" to include some shop and scrub text, and renamed it to "Shuffled except Important Text".
* Hid the trick list on the GUI when it's disabled.
* Changed internal names for the broken swords.
* Added validation of settings for plandomizer before attempting generation.
* Removed size check for the decompressor.
* Updated presets.
* Updated logic.
* Added internal tracking of what items were where in vanilla OoT.
* Added ability to provide settings through stdin (useful for shell scripting).
* Added a commandline flag to use a preset by name. This still allows supplying additional settings, e.g. to control cosmetics and ROM output.
* Added settings validation for unittests.
* Added unittests for settings presets.
* Use HTTPS for the version check to github.

*** This now allows selecting from three options: shuffling in '''song''' locations (previously 'off'), shuffling in '''anywhere''' (previously 'on'), and shuffling in '''dungeon''' reward locations (new).
*** The dungeon reward locations are: the 9 boss heart containers, the Lens of Truth chest (BotW), the Ice Arrows chest (GTG), the song reward in Ice Cavern, and the song from Impa in Hyrule Castle.

*** Many locations that did not previously have item hints now have hints, in case a custom hint distribution makes use of them.
*** Using the hint distribution "Bingo" allows setting a "Bingosync URL" to build hints for the specific OoTR Bingo board. Otherwise it's a generic hint distribution for OoTR Bingo.
