Most every small community will eventually create its own jargon and abbreviations for things naturally out of the desire to communicate more quickly.  Ocarina of Time and the Randomizer which was built for it is no different.  Below you'll find an alphabetized list of both terminology and abbrevations commonly used in both the Ocarina of Time speedrunning and randomizer communities.  If you join the discord or a stream chat and are curious what something means, but don't want to ask, this is the place for you.

A

All Locations Reachable
