## What is Door Randomizer?

Door Randomizer takes the dungeon experience in A Link to the Past to the next level by shuffling the connections between rooms within dungeons. Instead of just shuffling dungeon entrances, Door Randomizer can:

- **Shuffle doors within dungeons** - Rooms connect in completely new ways
- **Cross dungeon boundaries** - Walk through a door in Eastern Palace and end up in Tower of Hera
- **Adjust intensity levels** - From basic door shuffling to complete dungeon lobby randomization
