# Links Awakening DX
|
||||
|
||||
## Where is the settings page?
|
||||
|
||||
The [player settings page for this game](../player-settings) contains all the options you need to configure and export a
|
||||
config file.
|
||||
|
||||
## What does randomization do to this game?
|
||||
|
||||
Items which the player would normally acquire throughout the game have been moved around. Logic remains, so the game is
|
||||
always able to be completed, but because of the item shuffle the player may need to access certain areas before they
|
||||
would in the vanilla game.
|
||||
|
||||
## What items and locations get shuffled?
|
||||
|
||||
All main inventory items, collectables, and ammunition can be shuffled, and all locations in the game which could
|
||||
contain any of those items may have their contents changed.
|
||||
|
||||
## Which items can be in another player's world?
|
||||
|
||||
Any of the items which can be shuffled may also be placed into another player's world. It is possible to choose to limit
|
||||
certain items to your own world.
|
||||
|
||||
## What does another world's item look like in Link's Awakening?
|
||||
|
||||
The game will try to pick an appropriate sprite for the item (a LttP sword will be a sword!) - it may, however, be a little odd (a Missile Pack may be a single arrow).
|
||||
|
||||
If there's no appropriate sprite, a Letter will be shown.
|
||||
|
||||
## When the player receives an item, what happens?
|
||||
|
||||
When the player receives an item, Link will hold the item above his head and display it to the world. It's good for
|
||||
business!
|
||||
|
||||
## I don't know what to do!
|
||||
|
||||
That's not a question - but I'd suggest clicking the crow icon on your client, which will load an AP compatible autotracker for LADXR.
|
||||
|
||||
## What is this randomizer based on?
|
||||
|
||||
This randomizer is based on (forked from) the wonderful work daid did on LADXR - https://github.com/daid/LADXR
|
||||
|
||||
The autotracker code for communication with magpie tracker is directly copied from kbranch's repo - https://github.com/kbranch/Magpie/tree/master/autotracking
|
||||
|
||||
## Some tips from LADXR...
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Locations</h3>
|
||||
<p>All chests and dungeon keys are always randomized. Also, the 3 songs (Marin, Mambo, and Manu) give a you an item if you present them the Ocarina. The seashell mansion 20 shells reward is also shuffled, but the 5 and 10 shell reward is not, as those can be missed.</p>
|
||||
<p>The moblin cave with Bowwow contains a chest instead. The color dungeon gives 2 items at the end instead of a choice of tunic. Other item locations are: The toadstool, the reward for delivering the toadstool, hidden seashells, heart pieces, heart containers, golden leaves, the Mad Batters (capacity upgrades), the shovel/bow in the shop, the rooster's grave, and all of the keys' (tail,slime,angler,face,bird) locations.</p>
|
||||
<p>Finally, new players often forget the following locations: the heart piece hidden in the water at the castle, the heart piece hidden in the bomb cave (screen before the honey), bonk seashells (run with pegasus boots against the tree in at the Tail Cave, and the tree right of Mabe Village, next to the phone booth), and the hookshop drop from Master Stalfos in D5.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Color Dungeon</h3>
|
||||
<p>The Color Dungeon is part of the item shuffle, and the red/blue tunics are shuffled in the item pool. Which means the fairy at the end of the color dungeon gives out two random items.</p>
|
||||
<p>To access the color dungeon, you need the power bracelet, and you need to push the gravestones in the right order: "down, left, up, right, up", going from the lower right gravestone, to the one left of it, above it, and then to the right.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Bowwow</h3>
|
||||
<p>Bowwow is in a chest, somewhere. After you find him, he will always be in the swamp with you, but not anywhere else.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Added things</h3>
|
||||
<p>In your save and quit menu, there is a 3rd option to return to your home. This has two main uses: it speeds up the game, and prevents softlocks (common in entrance rando).</p>
|
||||
<p>If you have weapons that require ammunition (bombs, powder, arrows), a ghost will show up inside Marin's house. He will refill you up to 10 ammunition, so you do not run out.</p>
|
||||
<p>The flying rooster is (optionally) available as an item.</p>
|
||||
<p>You can access the Bird Key cave item with the L2 Power Bracelet.</p>
|
||||
<p>Boomerang cave is now a random item gift by default (available post-bombs), and boomerang is in the item pool.</p>
|
||||
<p>Your inventory has been increased by four, to accommodate these items now coexisting with eachother.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Removed things</h3>
|
||||
<p>The ghost mini-quest after D4 never shows up, his seashell reward is always available.</p>
|
||||
<p>The walrus is moved a bit, so that you can access the desert without taking Marin on a date.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Logic</h3>
|
||||
<p>Depending on your settings, you can only steal after you find the sword, always, or never.</p>
|
||||
<p>Do not forget that there are two items in the rafting ride. You can access this with just Hookshot or Flippers.</p>
|
||||
<p>Killing enemies with bombs is in normal logic. You can switch to casual logic if you do not want this.</p>
|
||||
<p>D7 confuses some people, but by dropping down pits on the 2nd floor you can access almost all of this dungeon, even without feather and power bracelet.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Tech</h3>
|
||||
<p>The toadstool and magic powder used to be the same type of item. LADXR turns this into two items that you can have a the same time. 4 extra item slots in your inventory were added to support this extra item, and have the ability to own the boomerang.</p>
|
||||
<p>The glitch where the slime key is effectively a 6th golden leaf is fixed, and golden leaves can be collected fine next to the slime key.</p>

# Links Awakening DX Multiworld Setup Guide
|
||||
|
||||
## Required Software
|
||||
|
||||
- [Archipelago](https://github.com/ArchipelagoMW/Archipelago/releases). Make sure to check the box for `Links Awakening DX`
|
||||
- Software capable of loading and playing GBC ROM files
|
||||
- Currently only [RetroArch](https://retroarch.com?page=platforms) 1.10.3 or newer) is supported.
|
||||
- Bizhawk support will come at a later date.
|
||||
- Your American 1.0 ROM file, probably named `Legend of Zelda, The - Link's Awakening DX (USA, Europe) (SGB Enhanced).gbc`
|
||||
|
||||
## Installation Procedures
|
||||
|
||||
1. Download and install LinksAwakeningClient from the link above, making sure to install the most recent version.
|
||||
**The installer file is located in the assets section at the bottom of the version information**.
|
||||
- During setup, you will be asked to locate your base ROM file. This is your Links Awakening DX ROM file.
|
||||
|
||||
2. You should assign your emulator as your default program for launching ROM
|
||||
files.
|
||||
1. Extract your emulator's folder to your Desktop, or somewhere you will remember.
|
||||
2. Right-click on a ROM file and select **Open with...**
|
||||
3. Check the box next to **Always use this app to open .gbc files**
|
||||
4. Scroll to the bottom of the list and click the grey text **Look for another App on this PC**
|
||||
5. Browse for your emulator's `.exe` file and click **Open**. This file should be located inside the folder you
|
||||
extracted in step one.
|
||||
|
||||
## Create a Config (.yaml) File
|
||||
|
||||
### What is a config file and why do I need one?
|
||||
|
||||
Your config file contains a set of configuration options which provide the generator with information about how it
|
||||
should generate your game. Each player of a multiworld will provide their own config file. This setup allows each player
|
||||
to enjoy an experience customized for their taste, and different players in the same multiworld can all have different
|
||||
options.
|
||||
|
||||
### Where do I get a config file?
|
||||
|
||||
The [Player Settings](/games/Links%20Awakening%20DX/player-settings) page on the website allows you to configure
|
||||
your personal settings and export a config file from them.
|
||||
|
||||
### Verifying your config file
|
||||
|
||||
If you would like to validate your config file to make sure it works, you may do so on the
|
||||
[YAML Validator](/mysterycheck) page.
|
||||
|
||||
## Generating a Single-Player Game
|
||||
|
||||
1. Navigate to the [Player Settings](/games/Links%20Awakening%20DX/player-settings) page, configure your options,
|
||||
and click the "Generate Game" button.
|
||||
2. You will be presented with a "Seed Info" page.
|
||||
3. Click the "Create New Room" link.
|
||||
4. You will be presented with a server page, from which you can download your patch file.
|
||||
5. Double-click on your patch file, and Links Awakening DX will launch automatically, and create your ROM from the patch file.
|
||||
6. Since this is a single-player game, you will no longer need the client, so feel free to close it.
|
||||
|
||||
## Joining a MultiWorld Game
|
||||
|
||||
### Obtain your patch file and create your ROM
|
||||
|
||||
When you join a multiworld game, you will be asked to provide your config file to whoever is hosting. Once that is done,
|
||||
the host will provide you with either a link to download your patch file, or with a zip file containing everyone's patch
|
||||
files. Your patch file should have a `.apladx` extension.
|
||||
|
||||
Put your patch file on your desktop or somewhere convenient, and double click it. This should automatically launch the
|
||||
client, and will also create your ROM in the same place as your patch file.
|
||||
|
||||
### Connect to the client
|
||||
|
||||
##### RetroArch 1.10.3 or newer
|
||||
|
||||
You only have to do these steps once. Note, RetroArch 1.9.x will not work as it is older than 1.10.3.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Enter the RetroArch main menu screen.
|
||||
2. Go to Settings --> User Interface. Set "Show Advanced Settings" to ON.
|
||||
3. Go to Settings --> Network. Set "Network Commands" to ON. (It is found below Request Device 16.) Leave the default
|
||||
Network Command Port at 55355.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
4. Go to Main Menu --> Online Updater --> Core Downloader. Scroll down and select "Nintendo - Gameboy / Color (SameBoy)".
|
||||
|
||||
### Connect to the Archipelago Server
|
||||
|
||||
The patch file which launched your client should have automatically connected you to the AP Server. There are a few
|
||||
reasons this may not happen, however, including if the game is hosted on the website but was generated elsewhere. If the
|
||||
client window shows "Server Status: Not Connected", simply ask the host for the address of the server, and copy/paste it
|
||||
into the "Server" input field then press enter.
|
||||
|
||||
The client will attempt to reconnect to the new server address, and should momentarily show "Server Status: Connected".
|
||||
|
||||
### Play the game
|
||||
|
||||
When the client shows both Retroarch and Server as connected, you're ready to begin playing. Congratulations on
|
||||
successfully joining a multiworld game! You can execute various commands in your client. For more information regarding
|
||||
these commands you can use `/help` for local client commands and `!help` for server commands.
