What it is

The Wind Waker HD Randomizer changes item locations and other parts of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD. It shuffles items, opens the world from the start, removes most cutscenes, and adds gameplay tweaks. It supports the USA version of Wind Waker HD only; European and Japanese versions and the original Wind Waker are unsupported. The free, MIT-licensed software has Windows, macOS, and Linux builds, including native Linux x64 builds in the latest release. Emulator use requires a decrypted USA game copy arranged in folders named code, content, and meta. The setup instructions suggest adding the output folder to an emulator's game paths and identify Cemu as a likely choice. Wii U use requires the Aroma environment and sigpatches, and reserves 2 GB of storage for the randomized channel after initial setup. The PC application includes an accurate-logic item tracker, but Wii U and web use do not have one. Each seed produces a spoiler log containing information about its contents. Other mods are not currently supported.
