[Preview] Upcoming v1.5.9 Features - TOTK Randomizer (Patreon)

I am happy to present Version 1.5.9 of the TOTK Randomizer! This update adds new Fuse items, rebalances several shop-related systems, and includes important early-game fixes to prevent progression issues.

This update introduces 2 new Fuse items - Barrel and Mesh-Block, expanding the variety of possible combinations and interactions during gameplay.

Several gameplay changes have also been made. Armor pieces in the Randomizer Shop now cost 500 rupees instead of 750, making them more affordable and accessible. At the same time, the sell price of many armor pieces has been reduced from 600 to 200 rupees to discourage exploitative trading. In addition, the Korok in the Room of Awakening is now available from the start, rewarding a randomized starter item. To reduce confusion early in the game, the Surface map layer is now unlocked from the start, preventing Surface goals from appearing on other map layers.

A major safeguard has also been added for progression stability. Save files created without the mod installed that have not yet completed the Great Sky Island can no longer continue and will now return to the title screen after the "Start a New Game" recommendation message, preventing logic issues later in the run.

As for bugfixes, an issue where the "Start a New Game" recommendation failed to correctly detect players who had not started a new game before Zelda inspected the stone statues during the intro has been resolved.

Finally, this update includes general code optimization to further improve overall stability and maintainability.

🌟 I hope you are looking forward to this update! I will be streaming the update this Friday and Saturday on my YouTube channel to showcase it and to make sure there are no issues before releasing it on Sunday.
