What Oracles Randomizer NG is
Oracles Randomizer NG reads a Zelda: Oracle of Seasons or Oracle of Ages ROM, rearranges most item and mystical seed locations, and saves a modified ROM to a new file. Its web interface provides information and seed generation. Cross-Items can place items from one game into the other, while Keysanity spreads dungeon keys, maps, compasses, and Ages slates across the overworld. In Keysanity mode, the in-game Dungeon Items menu shows which dungeon items have been obtained. Music randomization can include custom tracks written by ZerotoKoops. Seasons randomizes each area's default season except in regions with only one season; in Ages, the harp progresses from the Tune of Echoes to Currents and then Ages. The project lists Linux and web platforms, with Game Boy Color as the supported platform, and identifies its license as MIT. The web interface can be self-hosted on Linux directly or in Docker, which is recommended because of dependencies. Self-hosting requires clean ROM files for both games in a roms directory. Building requires previously built baseroms. Multiworld and Plando are not supported, linked games are disabled, and some out-of-logic Seasons actions could cause a softlock.

Who it suits
This is for players looking to randomize Oracle of Seasons or Oracle of Ages ROMs, including those interested in Cross-Items or Keysanity. Self-hosters need clean ROMs for both games and the required baseroms for building.
Verdict
