How was Trinity "invented"

Playing around with the ALTTPR Customizer, user thkg00fy found out that it is possible to integrate Triforce Pieces and even Triforces into Defeat Ganon seeds.

Knowing this, he created several "Troll Randomizer" games, which sent players around Hyrule and the Dark World, hunting for pieces that didn't exist.

After a sleepless night and the first "Triforce Pieces Hunt" Daily Challenge seed, the idea came op to include multiple goals in one game.

The first versions were just created via the ALTTPR Customizer. Adding several pieces, setting number for the Pieces Goal and placing a Triforce on the Master Sword Pedestal: that's it!


Since this manual seed rolling was way too inconvenient, the hunt for an easier way started. Luckily, at the same time, developer Synack provided the community with a way to create custom presets for SahasrahBot.

Using this way, every preset could be changed instantly and new modes could be shared with other users without attaching Customizer preset files.

Why is there no Trinity on the ALTTPR site

Trinity is a Fan Project that is (currently) not linked to official development. Although it has been added to some randomizers, it still lacks a good balancing.

Right now, statistics show that - in its current version Defeat Ganon is still the most frequent goal, followed by Pedestal.

Collecting the minimum amount of Triforce Pieces is way too rare. This might be fixed by adding more pieces by default, but this would also lower the - already low - amount of Pedestal goals.

What will come next

Things do change, sometimes even daily. If you want to follow the latest updates, you might want to check the Development preset via SahasrahBot on the official ALTTPR Discord.

You can "roll" a "Trinity Dev seed" by using the command /alttpr preset preset:thkg00fy/trinitydev

Be careful! The outcome of these seeds can be very unbalanced and even contain modes you're not familiar with (OWG, Keysanity, ...)
