List of hacks

This is a list of ROM hacks for Oracle of Ages and Seasons.

These hacks are distributed as patches, so you must have the original US ROM files of the games in order to play them. You can use the online patcher to apply the patches.

The hacks showcased on this page fall into these general categories:

• Original hacks (newly created worlds and dungeons)
• Mods (keeping the original game structure largely the same but with some changes, ie. Kaizo)
• Graphical hacks
• "Other" (randomizers, etc)

Original Hacks

These are listed roughly in reverse order of creation (newest first).

Made by Lin and Fatories in ZOLE's heyday. It was finished up to the end of Dungeon 3.

Hackathon 2024

To celebrate the release of LynnaLab v2.0, we had our first Zelda Oracles hackathon in July/August 2024, with a total of 7 submissions! The hackathon lasted for just 5 weeks, so the hacks were short in length.

The following submissions were received for the hackathon:

Translations

Korean

Korean translation hacks were made in 2010, making these some of the earliest ROM hacks of any kind.

Ages

Seasons

Other types of hacks

Crossworld

Made with the help of oracles-disasm by dan jia. Both of the Oracle games combined into a single ROM with the ability to move between the two worlds via the Ring Shop. (Bugs included.)

Randomizer

Without changing much of the game itself, the randomizer shuffles item locations all around the world. There are several active versions of the randomizer.

oracles-randomizer-ng

Link

Rewrite of the randomizer with new features such as "cross-items", keysanity, custom sprites, music shuffle, etc.

Archipelago

A multi-game randomizer allowing you to generate multiple worlds of different games and shuffle each game's items between those worlds. Ages and Seasons support are in active development, with Seasons in a playable state at the time of writing.

• See the archipelago site for more information and a discord invite. (Look for the Oracle of Seasons/Ages channel under the "development" section in the discord).
• Seeds can be generated either as single-player self-contained seeds, or multiworld seeds.
• The feature set is very different from NG. It lacks crossitems but does have a TON of other unique features even for single-player games.

Legacy versions

Original randomizer by jangler. Stable and solid. A web interface exists for this and the entrance randomizer.

Entrance randomizer branch: All indoor<->outdoor warps are randomized. Hasn't been updated in a long time, may have issues. Can be used in the web interface above.

Plandos and Mini-Hacks

A number of small hacks have been made within the speedrunning community. As these are made for a specific audience, some may require advanced game knowledge, or familiarity with how the randomizer normally works.

At first, these hacks took the form of "plandos", which are like randomizer seeds, but with planned item locations. These plandos were taken a step further by adding extra hacks to create interesting challenges, without changing too much of the base game.

Later on, jangler started making mini-hacks which can't be considered "plandos" anymore, since changed item locations are not the focus. Note that hacks listed here which aren't considered "plandos" won't have shuffled item locations.

Each of these mini-hacks has a gimmick. The gimmicks aren't explained here since that would spoil the experience.
