Hint description:
|
|
|
|
Hints will appear in the following ratios across the 15 telepathic tiles that have hints and the five storyteller locations:
|
|
|
|
Hint distribution for crossed entrance / crossed dungeon:
|
|
|
|
* 4 hints for inconvenient entrances.
|
|
* 2 hints for random entrances (this can by coincidence pick inconvenient entrances that aren't used for the first set of hints).
|
|
* 1 hints for inconvenient item locations.
|
|
* 7 hints for valuable items
|
|
* 1 hint for the Thieves Town attic
|
|
* 5 district hints
|
|
|
|
More vanilla shuffles of entrances reduces the number of inconvenient and random entrances hinted and generally follows adjustments in the ER_hint_reference.
|
|
|
|
Non-crossed door shuffles removes the attic hint and reduces the number of interesting items hinted at.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### District Hints
|
|
|
|
These replace all junk/joke hints.
|
|
|
|
Each dungeon is considered its own district. The overworld is divided into districts as according to this picture:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each district is classified in one of five categories:
|
|
|
|
* Foolish
|
|
* Connector Only
|
|
* Dungeon Only
|
|
* Useful
|
|
* Vital
|
|
|
|
A vital district contains one or more vital items. This includes:
|
|
* Y Items: Bows, Hookshot, Both Rods, Bombos, Lamp, Hammer, Ocarina, Book, Cane of Somaria, Mirror
|
|
* A Items: Gloves, Moon Pearl, Boots, Flippers
|
|
* All Swords, Triforce Pieces, and the Silver Arrows
|
|
* Ether and Quake if used to open an entrance
|
|
* Big Keys, Small Keys, Bomb Bags, Arrow Quivers in the appropriate mode (wild big keys, wild small keys, bomb bag, retro + shopsanity)
|
|
|
|
The hint will name the item if there is only one vital one, or give the number otherwise.
|
|
|
|
Useful district contain one or more useful items, but no vital items.
|
|
|
|
* Y Items: Boomerangs, Magic Powder, Mushroom, Shovel, Bug Net, Bottles, Cane of Byrna, Cape
|
|
* Ether and Quake if not used to open an entrance
|
|
* Shields, Mails, Magic Upgrades
|
|
|
|
Notably, the fetch items may technically be required depending on what is located at the fetch quest, but are considered useful still.
|
|
|
|
The hint will name the item if there is only one, or give the number of useful items otherwise.
|
|
|
|
A "Dungeon Only" district has no vital or useful items but contains one dungeon or more. The hint will pick one of the dungeon and state: "{district} is on the path to {dungeon}"
|
|
|
|
A "Connector Only" district has no vital or useful items but contains a connector that reaches a potentially inaccessible area like
|
|
the Turtle Rock upper ledge or the Maze Race (you have no mirror yet). The hint will state "{district} can reach {region}"
|
|
|
|
Foolish districts have no dungeons, no potentially useful connector and no useful or vital items. These districts, if they exist, are preferred for hints. The others are chosen randomly. |
