[Preview] Upcoming v1.4.1 Features
🕑 Added 2025-08-06 19:15:14 +0000 UTCProbably the MOST IMPACTING UPDATE so far - MORE FREEDOM, MORE GAMBLING, MORE CHALLENGING GAMEPLAY!
I am happy to present Version 1.4.1 of the TOTK Randomizer! This update overhauls the Randomizer experience quite a bit. The Great Sky Island skip from the last update was only a teaser - now the real gameplay changes are here! Core abilities can now be found anywhere and the Great Sky Island can be skipped at any point in time by just jumping down.
As I mentioned, the Purah Pad, Ultrahand, Fuse, Ascend, Recall and the Energy Cell can now be found anywhere in the game! These items are no longer randomized within each other on the Great Sky Island, meaning that you can find them literally anywhere - in a chest, given by an NPC, etc. The time where you do not have these abilities is quite challenging and as soon as you get one of them the joy is quite high! Since you can now leave the Great Sky Island immediately, just jump down whenever you like or stay to farm some items first! Personally, I jumped down immediately and accidentally landed at Monster Camps where mostly Blue Enemies were present (that was a mistake), haha! Shrines and Towers can be unlocked from the start now as well. No need for repetitive cutscenes to go through anymore. Please note that there is a possibility to unlock all the core abilities right away for players that would like to have a shorter run (read more down below)!
Because of the new gameplay changes, there are possibilities where you cannot advance easily. Imagine falling into a well without having the Purah Pad or Ascend to get out. For this situation, I'm happy to welcome a new Randomizer menu option - Teleport points! Equip the Randomizer Emblem and navigate to Miscellaneous > Teleport points. From there, select a teleport point to go to - more will be unlocked as you progress. For now, the Temple of Time teleport point will be unlocked once the Randomizer Cycle started for the first time, and the Lookout Landing teleport point will be unlocked once you visited it beforehand - keep that option in mind in case you accidentally fall into a well and you can't get out!
As for changes, the "Review statistics" and "Watch credits" main menu options have been moved into the new "Miscellaneous" main menu option to have a cleaner Randomizer main menu. "Check the text log for details." has been added after checking goals to avoid confusion as to how to find out which goals have not been completed yet. The secret developer tips text has been overhauled to match the new gameplay changes better. The v1.4.0 Great Sky Island skip dialogue has been changed to "Want to go directly to the Temple of Time and unlock core abilities?" instead, which really just does this now, as you can skip the Great Sky Island anyway just by jumping down now!
The amiibo feature is now unlocked from the beginning as well to match the new gameplay changes better. The chance for random teleports out of nowhere to occur has been slightly increased and the chance to get Monster Parts from NPCs, Treasure Chests, the Randomizer Cycle and the Randomizer Shop has been increased - this will especially help for goals where you need to possess specific Monster Parts! A bug has been fixed where the "Cook Dishes" and "Sleep at Inns" goals were not reset upon rerolling.
As for optimizations, 9 files have been removed from the mod and therefore 65 KB have been saved. Additionally, I optimized the code and was able to remove 18 query nodes, 14 action nodes, 6 flags and 2 functions.
🌟 I hope you are looking forward to this update! I will be streaming the update this Friday/Saturday on my YouTube channel to both showcase it and to make sure there are no issues before releasing it on Sunday.
