Perhaps, the title is a bit misleading, because this isn't really discussing much of substance. But I like to speculate, and I welcome others and their theories.
First, I might want to mention that for those of you who haven't heard about the
Ocarina of Time - Debug ROM, you might want to check some of that information out. (No ROM links or requesting for ROM links, please.)
Apart from all the neat stuff you can find by exploring around in this copy, it got most of it's fame from showing the "Stalfos Boss Room", which we all know from early Zelda64 videos.
Next, is another obvious one--
The Legend of Zelda: Mystical Seed of Courage, which would have been a third "Oracle of ..." game. I don't mind that there were only two, but I think the original concept of having three with linking features was pretty darn cool too.
This next bit is rumors of a
Zelda 1 BETA. Personally, as the site states the picture was featured in the original manual, I think it was probably just a challenge mode option they took out to avoid confusion. Doubt if this BETA somehow did exist that it would be impressive.
The next two things are VERY impressive, though (although most of you have, again, probably seen these already). First we have a prototype for Link's Awakening from an old NP magazine. Here's a scan:
If this was out there somewhere, I'm sure we'd ALL be very interested as to what this is like. Some have suggested that it might have been closer to aLttP in that, there may have been a "dark Hyrule" or something. Open to discussion, jerks.
This is the thing that gets me the most excited, though, because I'm a huge fan of the
BS Zelda games. It appears to be a SNES remake of Zelda II:
Have anything to contribute to the thread/discussion? Post away!
