This was pretty much the final game, the control style is the same as the final one except that the 'A' and 'B' buttons have switched roles.

Although quite a lot of stuff was still being changed it was mostly minor, the story had been finalized and most things were probably just being tested to make sure they worked properly.

Although you may have never seen her here, this is where you'll find Malon during the day, before you get Epona. | |
The timer is counting backwards, odd. | |
Here Link has a second go at the race, he has only 110 rupees now rather than 120. | |
Malon, standing between the house and Cow shed, she never appears here in the final version. | |
The crate and tree from the final version are not here. | |
The closer of the two fences is very very low, it would have made navigating the ranch much faster. | |
A very different starting view. | |
Here you can see that the counter starts at 3 minutes (It says 2:59 here though). Why it counts down I don't know, maybe you had to be in the lead when the time ran out or something? | |
Sheik teaching Link the Minuet of Forest. Once again after he has walked onto the warp platform, the area itself looks quite different too. | |
Interesting this.
This is the cinema that used to play after you traveled forwards in time for the first time. | |
As you can see the door of time (green) is closed again to prevent you going backwards in time until after you beat the Forest Temple. | |
The strangest thing here is the clear Spiritual stones, maybe the magical energy is meant to have been sucked out of them or something. At this time in the game's development though the three stones were actually used to "power up" the OoT, so perhaps this is where the colour is meant to have gone. | |
The Triforce symbol above the door of time is upside down. Maybe it turned the right way up after you opened the door. | |
Warp pad looks very different! | |
The Alter of Time looks different too, here it's just one big slope, in the final version the part where the stones go is flat and the back is sloped. | |
The Master Sword is removed. | |
And replaced. | |
