In their own words
MultiworldGG
MultiworldGG is a multi-game randomizer that joins supported games in one multiplayer session. An item found in one player’s game can be assigned to another player, and supported games can also be generated as single-player experiences. The project is a fork of Archipelago, with tweaks and additional third-party worlds. Players can generate locally with the desktop client or use the website by uploading YAML configuration files or ZIP archives. Lobbies let participants upload configurations and coordinate in chat before a host generates the multiworld. Hosts can upload a generated ZIP or multidata file and provide trackers and patch-file downloads. Installations include a launcher, generator, server, and some clients; desktop downloads are available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. The website also links tools such as a text client, checklist tracker, and manual world client. Website-generated multiplayer games are limited to 30 players; larger games must be generated locally. Many catalog worlds are still in development and may be buggy or unfinished. MultiworldGG is free and open source.
The Wind Waker HD Randomizer
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.
