This was a really confusing seed that sent me down a rabbit hole of checks that weren't in logic. The biggest thing that I learned during this seed is the existence and location of the rupee room in dungeon 6.

The basic premise of keysanity is that dungeon small keys and boss keys can be found anywhere between dungeons and the overworld. This creates a whole new wrinkle in routing since you most likely won''t be able to complete dungeons on the first pass and have to think about how you want to use your keys. Maps and compasses can also be found anywhere. Compasses have been edited to change their jingle to represent their respective dungeon's music. This will allow the player to know what dungeon the key is for when the compass jingle occurs on a screen.

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
