A New Chapter for Waikuteru's Zelda Mods 💛 (Patreon)

I want to share an important update about how I will be working on my Zelda projects going forward.

For about 3 years, the TOTK Randomizer has had a new update released every 2 weeks. I am incredibly proud of what we have built, and I want to thank everyone who has supported the project!

However, I have decided that it is time for a change.

📅 TOTK Randomizer Updates: Once Per Month

Instead of committing myself to a new Randomizer update every two weeks, I will be moving to one update per calendar month.

This does not mean updates will happen on a fixed day. For example, one update could be released in mid-September, while the next could come in early or late October.

I also want to make sure that Tears of the Kingdom, the latest open-world Zelda game, continues to receive regular Randomizer updates, which is why I will continue releasing at least one update each calendar month.

This schedule gives me more flexibility with development, testing, and larger features.

And there is a very good reason for this change:

🛠️ New Mods Are Coming Back!

With the additional time between Randomizer updates, I can finally start working on new Zelda mods again.

This includes:

🗺️ Custom maps

🏰 Custom dungeons

⚔️ Challenge-run mods

👑 New enemies and encounters

💎 New gameplay mechanics

And other projects I have wanted to work on for a long time

I want to get back to creating larger, more unique experiences instead of having the Randomizer be my only major development focus.

🧡 One Early Access Tier - All Projects Included

I also want to keep things simple.

Rather than separate Patreon tiers for the Randomizer and new mods, the BOTW & TOTK Randomizer Early Access tier has been renamed to Zelda Mods Early Access.

This tier now gives you Early Access to all of my active projects.

The $25 (+) and $50 (++) tiers will remain unchanged, but their benefits will now apply across all active projects as well.

To make this more transparent, I also added a new development page to my website:

🌐 https://waikuteru-zelda-mods.com/development

This page will show the currently active projects, so you can always see what your support is helping to make.

I can also already share two things that are scheduled:

🎉 BOTW Randomizer 5th Anniversary Update - November 25th

🗺️ A new custom map-related mod - planned for Q4 2026, with more details to come!

🔓 Patreon Early Access Changes

New projects will be available to Patreon supporters before their public release.

TOTK Randomizer updates will remain in early access until the next Randomizer update is released.

New mods will have 30 days of Patreon early access before becoming publicly available.

💰 Patreon Price Update

The early-access Patreon tier has been $15 for about 3 years.

Due to inflation, as well as putting that support toward multiple projects rather than only the Randomizer, the price will increase from:

$15 → $17.50

The $25 (+) and $50 (++) tiers will remain at their current prices.

I wanted to be open about these changes and make sure that your support directly helps me create more content and new projects.

❤️ Thank You

The most important thing I want to say is thank you.

The fact that I have been able to work on Zelda mods for so many years, continuously develop the Randomizer, and now return to completely new projects is something I genuinely appreciate.

This change gives me the flexibility to spend more time on quality, experimentation, and new ideas, while still continuing to develop the TOTK Randomizer.

I'm really excited about what comes next.

The Randomizer continues.

New mods are coming.

And this is just the beginning. 💛

Thank you for supporting Waikuteru's Zelda Mods!
