Ocarina of Time Maps

About

Ocarina of Time Maps (also ‘OoTM’, ‘OoT Maps’ or ‘ootm’) is a simple Ocarina of Time map tool for use with a loading zone randomizer.

It allows the recording and display of transition destinations and features maps for all overworld places, dungeons and some special areas like the “Kakariko Potion Shop” (which connects two doors in Kakariko Village) or “Dampe’s Grave”.

OoTM is optimized for the randomization rules and glitchless logic implemented in the randomizer on OoTRandomizer.com. This means that for example “Side Alley” is inseparable from “Market”, while “Market Entrance” (the single screen between the castle bridge and the market) and “Temple of Time Entrance” (the small path before the temple) are individual overworld areas and the “Carpenter Tent” is not supposed to be accessed as child. The transition from Gerudo Valley through the river to Lake Hylia, the Spirit Temple hand transitions, the Castle Garden entrance and the Thieves’ Hideout transitions are always connected to their normal exits.

Screenshots

Example for a connected entrance (in this case Dampe’s House leads to the Temple of Time)

Features child and adult maps (left side Kakariko as child, right side Kakariko as adult)

And side and top perspective maps for all locations

Adding a conection is super easy, just click on any connection and you see a list of all transitions that make sense.

And adding the way back

Special thanks

• Peardian and VGMaps.com for their amazing map database
• Ship of Harkinian (An OoT PC port which I used for some high-res screenshots to cut out a grotto, an overworld tree in Hyrule Field, the entrance to Dodongo’s Cavern, an entrance into the Thieves’ Hideout, a door in Kakariko and three quarters of Link’s house)

Possible additions in future versions

• Include house maps and grotto maps
• Include Guard Stealth Passage and Castle Garden
• Include blue warps / cutscene warps
• “Mixed connection types” option, where connections don’t depend on the connection type
• option to show non-intended connections (worker’s tent as child, ice cavern as child, jabu as adult…)
