LADXR: The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX - Randomizer
What is this?
LADXR is an item (and entrance) randomizer for the North American/English (revision-0/v1.0) ROM of "The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX".
What does this do? It changes the locations of items in order to provide a new experience to the game.
It ensures the game is still beatable by checking if all locations can still be reached, but progress will (usually) not be linear: you will have to find your own path.
The goal of this randomizer is to create a new experience, both glitchless and bugless (except those caused by the player). Normal gameplay should not introduce any bugs, and it can be experienced like the normal game.
Feature list:
- Nearly every item is able to be shuffled, depending on your selected settings.
- Dungeon items are shuffled within their respective dungeon by default, but can be included with the rest of the pool (via keysanity, and the such).
- Dungeon keys (Tail Key, Angler Key, Face Key, Bird Key and Slime Key) and the Golden Leaves are also shuffled into the pool of items.
- The trading sequence and the date with Marin are now optional. Each part of the trading sequence will give you an item if you show them what they need.
Play older versions
You can use the following webpages to generate a custom randomized ROM for you.
V0.11: Countless logic fixes, a new entrance rando mode, and proper webside plando support.
V0.7: A few small logic bugs, far less options.
V0.5: Contains a few logic bugs, newer versions are recommended.
(Older versions are too unstable to be useful and are not recommended, as seed generation was not stable)

Visit here for another Links Awakening Randomizer called Z4R, which has a different focus and gives different playstyle options. Both are cool! We use the same discord server.
