https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/a-zelda-64-beta-version-has-been-discovered-and-fans-are-pulling-it-apart/
tl;dr: Half of a OoT demo ROM from Spaceworld 1997 was found on an F-Zero X dev cart. Contains stuff like whistling grass for Epona like in Twilight Princess, different areas that were cut, a beta map screen, and the cut magic spells that would've originally have been from using medallions as items, among other stuff --- ...

No more Ocarina of Time secrets. I'm still shocked there's a fully functional Arwing hidden in the game and that you can actually fight it. (With a GameShark.)

Can anyone translate the "" item? It's sixth from the bottom on the left most column. I'm pretty sure it's Lon Lon Milk, but my very limited ability to read katakana is leading me to believe it says "Ron Ron Cow Juice" lol

From the text, there's weird stuff about events in the game. Like originally Link was gonna rescue trapped fairies inside the Deku Tree, and eventually you'll find a "different fairy" and that fairy becomes your Navi >_>

Fun Fact: In the N64 version, you can still see the Fire Medallion icon in the Shadow Temple entrance where you're supposed to use Din's Fire. The Fire Medallion was originally gonna be an item to use that would work like Din's Fire before it got replaced, but that icon is still leftover from it.
Also Forest and Water Temple were supposed to be Wind and Ice Temples, which you can see reminents of that in Ganon's Tower during the trials. Hence why the Forest (Wind) Medallion was gonna act like Farore's Wind --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

That's what I figured, but I can't really read the words after "Lon Lon" super well lol The word after Lon Lon is pronounced gyuunyuu. It means cowmilk. I've never played Zelda so I don't know what its supposed to be but the Katakana is ron ron. ... Copied to Clipboard!

The localized version has always called the ranch in the game "Lon Lon" and you get the item "Lon Lon Milk" from there. I've never been sure why they went with Lon Lon instead of Ron Ron other than one of them sounds like a man's name in English lol ... Copied to Clipboard!

I meant generally how localizers decide whether to change it to an "L" or "R" sound. Like, there's an anime I like with a character whose name in katakana is "" and it's been localized as "Loropechika." I assume in that case they ask the original author what their intent was. I mean, my username is based off the way you write "Link" in katakana lol ... Copied to Clipboard!

I've always read that the Japanese "R" isn't really like an English "R" and that it sounds like it's between an English "L" and "R" though I suppose that's a very anglophone way to view it... ...

So apparently it doesn't seem like the rom is playable because too much of it is overwritten from F-Zero X. Plus there doesn't seem to be any beta music or sound effects either. However people are able to import the maps to OoT to "play" them >_>
