alttp randomizer, crosskeys
So I tried another crosskeys seed, this time with random swords and with a note-taking device handy.
The previous time, it gave me early boots, early flute, early gold gloves, and easy connectors to dark world. Nooooot this time.
Hell seeds in crosskeys are apparently *amazing*.

It then put both gloves, flute, hammer, flippers, and boots (read: just about every item that unlocks easier access to the overworld) all deep into this required path, then stacked *six* of the game’s main dungeons into death mountain.
Go Mode was a Swamp Palace small key.
I... don’t know if I have the fortitude to try one of these again, but it certainly was fun to puzzle out.
