This was my first attempt at doing a multiworld seed by myself and it ended up being quite interesting. Though I would have liked to see more back and forth between the games, having the ability to fully clear one game before doing pretty much anything in the other was interesting.

Multiworld involves using Lua scripts to connect multiple games together to create one big randomizer. Items can be spread out among all games such that player 1 can have an item for player 2, etc. Currently, items that can only be found in one game (such as dungeon keys and unique weapons) can only be found in that type of game. You can combine multiple of the same game or mix and match. Items in shops can only be for the game the shop is located in.

Dungeon randomizer basically means that dungeons entrances are shuffled amongst each other. For example, dungeon 1 could be in its normal spot or it could be located in any of the other dungeon locations. The randomizer logic accounts for the new dungeon locations and can lead to some very interesting routing opportunities as you can reach some dungeons without the normal requirements (e.g. dungeon 7 without the pirate's bell).

Portal randomizer shuffles the subrosia portals amongst each other. The most significant thing that gets affected is access to dungeon 8 since it is located in subrosia in an area only accessed by a single portal. The shuffled portals can also allow for some interesting routing options as well as access to new areas more easily than if the portals were normal.

For those unfamiliar with Oracles randomizer, it is an item randomizer where items in chests are shuffled amongst each other. This leads to a different outcome each time you play and helps to make a fresh experience each time. There are a few notable exceptions to what is randomized however:

- As of version 3.5.0, small keys, boss keys, and maps/compasses are randomized only within their own dungeon
- Some items given from NPCs may not be randomized (mostly if the rewards are normally gasha seeds)
- Freestanding heart pieces and gasha seeds in the overworld are not randomized
