Awesome idea for a zelda game. This is what they should have done with Link Between Worlds. Doesn't just encourage exploration - it requires it at some points. The whole point of a Zelda game.

Actually, this would be a great Hero Mode option. Much better than just flipping the map.

Yeah its only in japanese, but by the time this game mode is relevant, you mostly have it memorized anyway.
It's supposed to be impossible to get stuck on the way the items are set up, but you do have to open just about every single chest in the overworld in order to pass the game, since sometimes key items are hidden in caves where you would normally just find cash or arrows.
Also people who give you items count as treasure boxes, so for example giving the witch the mushroom won't usually give you the powder, rather a different item in return. The good news is getting items out of order (glove / mitt) or something that replaces another item (mushroom / powder) doesn't replace the better version with the crappier one as the old algorithm would allow and you can swap between them with the Y button.

Another cool thing is you can beat the bosses in different ways as well since before you wouldn't have the same items available. Like the eyeball monster that you would normally need the hookshot for to pull the eyeballs out of the goo can be passed by putting on the inviso cape and smacking the eyeballs while you're invincible.
