The amount of detail in the texturework of the water temple "base" is ridiculous, especially for a beta rom extract. The rest is just obvious geometry and gamepacing tests but still fascinating nonetheless. The team did an astrnomical amount of work for what was, compared to the cut content, a relatively small final result. Can't imagine what those dudes would have been driven to do with even a bit stronger hardware.

its amazing to think that many of these devs were doing 2d games for the likes of the snes and genesis before this

That is amazing! I know hard4games YouTube channel covered this a little yesterday. Combined with what weve got so far from the giga leaks there is enough material to almost make a modded full game out of this.

The labyrinthine early Death Mountain gave me Zelda 2 vibes. I wouldn't be surprised if that's what they were going for initially.

Hard4games has uncovered so much cool stuff from the N64 era. It's crazy how much beta content is even accessible considering how cloak and dagger Nintendo is about their property's development.

It's amazing to me how many early concepts and ideas really didn't change all that much at their core between then and final release.

They found the house by the lake in those really old screenshots. It is very basic but so surreal seeing it in the actual game instead of a blurry magazine screenshot.

There originally was going to be a shop in Lon Lon Ranch. Here's the 2D render of the background



Also there was going to be inns in various places and you could go to sleep and you could choose the time you would want to be woken up. That would've been pretty neat to have >_>
