Hollow Knight Randomizer 4 vs Wind Waker Randomizer

Hollow Knight Randomizer 4 is a free Windows mod that changes item placements and transitions for Hollow Knight patch 1.5 and later. Item pools can include skills, charms, keys, shards, relics, maps, grubs, and boss essence. Transition settings range from no randomization to Map Area Randomizer, Full Area Randomizer, and Room Randomizer. Additional options include Randomize Swim, Randomize Nail, Split Claw, Split Cloak, and Split Superdash. Players can save and load settings profiles, and generate shareable codes for base randomizer settings; codes correspond to a specific mod version. RandoSettingsManager can synchronize randomizer settings and most connection mod settings, with an internet connection required for its codes. The mod writes tracker, helper, and spoiler logs to the Randomizer 4 folder in the save directory. It requires Hollow Knight Modding API for patch 1.5 or later, MenuChanger, ItemChanger, RandomizerCore, and RandomizerCore.Json. It does not support Hollow Knight patches 1.4.3.2 or earlier. Benchwarp and QoL are strongly recommended and may be necessary for some logic or modes. The repository identifies the license as LGPL-2.1.

Wind Waker Randomizer rearranges items in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, creating a different item layout for each playthrough. It opens travel across the sea from the beginning, removing the usual fixed progression, and most cutscenes are removed while sailing and text speeds are increased. Optional settings can shuffle dungeon entrances or restrict which types of locations may contain progress items. Players can configure hint sources, types, and quantities. The program creates a new randomized ISO rather than replacing the original, and the FAQ says every seed is beatable without glitches. Builds are offered for Windows, MacOS, and Linux, though the getting-started guide describes the randomizer as PC-only. Use requires a North American GameCube version ISO and a way to play GameCube games; European, Japanese, and Wind Waker HD versions are unsupported. The Nintendo Gallery cannot currently be completed because some characters are absent. The program is free.
