This is my playthrough of a plando created by drenn that also contains a few surprises.

If you aren't familiar with what a plando is, it is a randomizer seed that is carefully planned out by someone (in this case, created by drenn). That person meticulously chooses where to place the items instead of randomly assigning locations. Since they choose the item locations, they can make things difficult for the player or they can place items in thematically appropriate areas or they can force certain routes through the seed.

Not only was this a plando, it is also a romhack. I'm not going to spoil what happens, but there are some things that don't normally appear in a seasons randomizer which contributed to a very unique experience.

This hack and others can be found at https://wiki.zeldahacking.net/oracle/List_of_hacks

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

You can find out more about the randomizer and download it here: https://github.com/jangler/oracles-randomizer/blob/master/README.md

You can also use the web patcher if you don't want to download it or if you want customization options (link color/no music): http://oosarando.jaysee.live/


I stream all of my randomizers live on Twitch at https://twitch.tv/mashy
