To give an explanation as to what some of that means.
Logic: Shows that it has randomized the items in a manner that does not require any glitches
Difficulty: Standard ALTTP damage and default hearts
Variation: Standard ALTTP gameplay
State: The game starts in the normal way and you have to save the princess from the castle then escape. You are provided a light source for the escape by default, even if you don't have the lamp.
Swords: The location of Swords and the upgrades are random too. You may not find one for a while.
Goal: The game ends when Ganon is defeated.
To get started click the "Permalink" above. You will be asked to provide the appropriate version of the ALTTP ROM. Anyone who doesn't have this can contact me and I'll point you in the right direction.
It also allows you to tailor the ROM to your own taste. This is purely cosmetic, but you can change Link's Sprite, the colour hearts appear and how quickly the "low health" warning bleeps.
Click "Save ROM" for it to download your patched ROM and then plug it into the emulator of your choice! I recommend BSNES where possible.
On the file select screen of the game you'll see a "Code" like below. If it matches, you're ready to go!
Finally, a couple of brief rules. When participating please do not post item locations in the thread. If you want to discuss what you've done or found, use Spoiler boxes.
Save states are allowed, but only to save your progress at the end of a session. It shouldn't be used to check a location, then reset to a previous point, or help with a boss fight.
If you find yourself stuck somewhere and can't find a way out, hitting "Select" will allow you to save and quit, then reload at one of three locations in the game. You can use this to move around quickly if you wish.
Obviously this is just for fun, so there will be no-one, or way, to enforce this. We're just going to trust each other.
Have fun!
