The Wind Waker

Weighted Options

Weighted options allow you to choose how likely a particular option's value is to be used in game generation. The higher a value is weighted, the more likely the option will be chosen. Think of them like entries in a raffle.

Choose the options you would like to play with! You may generate a single-player game from this page, or download an options file you can use to participate in a MultiWorld.

A list of all games you have generated can be found on the User Content page.

Item Randomizer Modes

Sword Mode

Controls whether you start with the Hero's Sword, the Hero's Sword is randomized, or if there are no swords in the entire game. - **Start with Hero's Sword:** You will start the game with the basic Hero's Sword already in your inventory. - **No Starting Sword:** You will start the game with no sword, and have to find it somewhere in the world like other randomized items. - **Swords Optional:** You will start the game with no sword, but they'll still be randomized. However, they are not necessary to beat the game. The Hyrule Barrier will be gone, Phantom Ganon in FF is vulnerable to Skull Hammer, and the logic does not expect you to have a sword. - **Swordless:** You will start the game with no sword, and won't be able to find it anywhere. You have to beat the entire game using other items as weapons instead of the sword. (Note that Phantom Ganon in FF becomes vulnerable to Skull Hammer in this mode.)
