{{quote|After saving both Hyrule and Termina, Link found himself without a quest. He journeyed long and far without knowing what to do. He thought a lot about the time manipulation he had done and asked himself if he was the real hero or if he was just a victim of these stories.
The more his obsession of time had grown, the more it felt that time was slowing down… Until it froze completely, condemning his journey to an endless day… Just before passing out from exhaustion, Link finally found a new country…
Master of Time is a new story in a completely new world, Abello, where Link must restore the flow of time. Abello is a big and dangerous world, but Link can count on the help of Nite the fairy.
Around 20 hours of gameplay in various areas and dungeons with custom cutscenes, songs and much more. Good luck finding all 100 skulltula tokens and 20 hearts!|[https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/5801/ Developer description]}}

BotW Randomizer mod shuffles the location of items throughout the game (see below), and requires the player to obtain the [[Master Sword]] to fight Ganon, meaning 13 hearts are required to beat the game

It works by creating "graphic packs", which can be used to change where items are located in the [http://cemu.info/ CEMU Wii U emulator]

{{quote|As it happens to be a feature of Randomizers, this Randomizer will randomize items you will find in chests and be given by NPCs. Randomized enemy drops are included too. Additionally, warping via both the Sheikah Slate as well as going inside and outside of shrines has the chance of getting randomized too.
 
But... this was only the basic part. I aimed to expand the definition of a “Randomizer” for this legendary game... So I built a new system which I named “The Randomizer Cycle”. This cycle will trigger randomly and picks one of many, many options that will change your game on the fly.|Developer description}}
