I love playing OOT randos. Not only is it a new puzzle every time, there are a lot of quality-of-life improvements (e.g. pushing blocks is faster, cutscenes are skipped) that make it much more enjoyable for someone who already knows the game well.
What platform or emulator do you play them on? I suppose these will work on Analogue 3D when it gets released?
What timing - I just started playing Wind Waker HD randomizer runs. It really adds a lot to the experience, especially after having played through the vanilla game several times. It manages to re-capture some of the feeling of exploring the world for the first time.
I can't wait until my daughter is old enough to play the Wind Waker. It's so amazing that only one generation after OoT they released a Zelda that not only is arguably as good or even better than OoT, but it holds up over 20 years later. You can play Wind Waker today and not realize it's not a new game, the graphics and the gameplay are just perfect.
It would be fun to play Windwaker someday with my kids. I never played it.

That's great! Now does the DAG make sense to humans? Does it ever put things in absurd places, eg. a necessary dungeon key in a random grotto halfway across the map (or in another time)? Without clues, how would you know where to check next? Does the game help at all? How out of sequence can the game get? Is Master Quest just the moral equivalent of a single static random roll of the Randomizer? Someone should do thi…

Does the game help at all? It can be configured with options as to how items are distributed. But yeah, in general anything can be anywhere. Without clues: sometimes there are clues, those silly gossip stones in OoT can output a m…

I'm glad to hear that Wind Waker HD has fan support like this. It was always a bummer to me that the best versions of Wind Waker and Skyward Sword were trapped on the Wii U, given the incredible preservation that Dolphin provides for their original versions. Edit: I own a Wii U, I'm not trying to be a hater. For years, it really was the ultimate Zelda box.
Does cemu not provide comparable preservation for the HD versions? I played through both WW:HD and TP:HD on my Steam Deck using cemu and found it a great experience.

I’ve played most Zalda games but life was busy when Windwaker came out and I just completely skipped it on accident. Should really grab a copy after hearing your praise.

It's possible I just had a Wii U with an unusually tight joystick or something.
