Can't seem to advance
To start off with, my seed is: NYMr3kwVv9
I've beaten the first dungeon, but I can't access either the flute or the book of Mudora to reach the second dungeon. I can't access the hammer yet either, nor the flippers. I can't reach Aghanim because I can't get the Master Sword yet.
Can anyone see a solution that I may be missing? I greatly appreciate your help!

If you go to the permalink of your seed and scroll to the bottom, see the bit that says "spoiler"? Click on that to expand it, and then click the bit that says "Playthrough." That will show you a list of the required items in roughly the order the game expects you to find them.
In this case, it looks like the game expects you to get the Magic Cape from Kakariko Well and use that to get through the bat that blocks the way to Agahnim and your Dark World access. Although you use the Master Sword to kill the bat in the vanilla game, in the randomized version you can also use the cape. The Fighter's Sword will reflect Agahnim's magic just as well as the Master Sword will.
Hope that helps!
I’m curious now, if you somehow obtain the cape early in the vanilla game does it also allow you to get into Aga tower?
Yes. It's possible with glitches.
I’m assuming yes, since stuff like that doesn’t usually get added in by the rando devs
Thanks for the help! That's actually a really interesting mechanic. I had no idea the cape would do that.
Yup. Another interesting property of the cape that affects item logic is that it allows you to pass through those big blue bouncy bumpers.
Edit: here's a pretty good list of common "gotchas" that tend to stump brand new runners: https://alttprlinks.page.link/QxvY
