If it is not, then the feature you are looking for might be a feature that is pending approval and is being playtested by the streamer, or it might be a feature from their own fork that they are playtesting.

If you cannot reach them, then folks in the {{discord}} will probably know where to find these branches.

	To run ~~these branches~~ of the ~~randomizers~~, ~~download the source code and open <samp>Gui.py</samp> with Python v3 (also requires Node.js v14.x or lower).

	The Door of Time doesn't work like the game made you think it does, the original Ocarina of Time programmers took shortcuts to reduce the amount of code they needed to write to check that you can open the door and you only need an ocarina and the Song of Time to open the door.
