ABSTRACT
Game randomizers are programs which aim to increase replay value for (mostly older) video games by shuffling their main components around. This forces a new path to completion to be solved. This project looks at randomizing the item locations in The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons. Item placement must follow a set of rules to ensure all items are obtainable and the game is completable. The randomization bias should minimize placement bias and maximize efficiency. This project explores six different strategies which attempt achieve a good balance between these two metrics.
