The First and Lost Build of Ocarina of Time | Zelda Cut Content 

Thank for watching everyone! Next time we plan to do a Ura Zelda video as a transition point to Majora's Mask. Also this took surprising long simply cause the portal effects I had to key into this. PS. I accidently had this premiering an hour earlier than I wanted (literally uploaded it before I slept), so as such I apologize for not being there for the premiere. I'll plan to be more careful next and join again for the premieres!

I am surprised that this build (lost or not) even is a built at all. I always assumed this was just a pre-rendered video that didn't ever "saw" an N64.

It's amazing still seeing beta content. These old trailers and pics use to haunt me back in the day just wishing I could get a glimpse. The N64 Goldeneye remaster prototype has finally hit the surface to public and I hope to see the same with beta Zelda 64

Amazing video. Thank you for showing your sources, unlike other channel that make stuff up and spread misinformation. You make the best videos on these topics.

This is just... wow. A very different game indeed!

Amazing to look back how Nintendo developed these games, wish I could play the beta games stage one development

That early forest temple stage looks amazing 👊 Thanks O.G

Amazing work man! Can’t wait for more cut content!!!!

I think they could’ve stay with that and see where they could go with that engine for the very first build

When I saw your other video and you showed us that dark nut/iron knuckle guy I thought he looked a lot like the silver guy in this trailer

Ura Zelda! I can't wait! :D

Steel Divers on 3DS almost made me choke. At least he gave me a gateway to custom themes.

I absolutely love this channel . Great work

5:00 "...and even a more expressive Link" Link: 👁️👁️

Good god man "comment if you would have liked if Zeld had conitnued from this lost build" You're just asking for a fountain of comments. Jesus I wish Nintendo would resurect this version & use it as an alternate universe release of the game, & alternate from release to release between this version of Zeldas & the usual they types they create. But that will almost certainly never happen, what a thrill this has been to see all this way back, 95 man, I was 5 then, don''t think I've even played Links Awakening on the gameboy, but that was only 2 years separated from this build of OOT, that just blows my mind, narely 24 months between those 2, ahhhh so so very long ago now

Thank you for making this series I always learn something new with each video :)

To be fair, _Portal_ was based on _Narbacular Drop,_ released in 2005. Yeah, I know. One year's difference. But still.

I kinda thought that "build" was just a short video, using models or assets to show a concept Rather than an actual playable build

I’m excited for the Ura series

thanks for the video

URA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2:39 Harold & Kuthbar go to Nintendo

That super fx Link looks hot!

I wonder how well that build would have ran it sounds like it would be really hard to get it running at a reasonable frame rate.

Can't wait for MM

Great info! Always curious for more. Btw is it just me or is his pronunciation of the word "button" a tad off?

When you say five you say foive, when you say content you say chonthentah, and you're the only American in history to pronounce his T's.

The photoshopped portals in the wood temple. Someone that knows how to mod portal make this real so I can run around Oot with portals? I'm sure I'm not the only one who would buy it.

Is there gonna be anymore?

Warp arrows and now just Portal before it existed. Clearly this type of gameplay mechanic is meant to be, but I’m not confident it’ll be in Breath of the Wild 2.

It took a very long time for many other developers to make good 3D games meanwhile Nintendo made some of the greatest 3D games in existence right off the bat with the shitty N64 lol. Even with all the restraints.

Wooo

honestly that trailer was just them saying “yeah Zelda’s coming to the Ultra 64” but its cool to see the scrapped ideas they had throughout the games early development

Interesting... (With all due respect; Goddard sounds like a health issue/disease...)

I remember seeing those screens in magazines as a kid, when N64 was first revealed! Had no idea there was more to the trailer build, especially not an area outside Hyrule Castle that used portals. Mind blown! Thank you for all your hard work on these videos. This is the best channel on RU-vid for Zelda 64 cut content, and I look forward to seeing other games in series covered.

Finally the algorithm doesn't screw you out of me seeing your videos on the same day! Haha another great OoT installment! Looking forward to your take on Ura and MM. I've never seen much on MM Beta so I'm very looking forward to your insight

That crystal portal concept is SUCH a cool idea. I wouldn’t have minded seeing that being used if Nintendo had decided to make OoT a more linear game like Super Mario 64. It would have been a very cool alternative to jumping into photos!

This tech demo reminds me of the NGC and WiiU Zelda tech demos. It's like Nintendo is used to show the power of their consoles with some Zelda themed demos which are never meant to be released.

So it's...still on his hard drive??! * insert So there's a chance meme here *

I’m imagining if the OoT would have been built off of his original engine, imagine the improvements that could’ve been made with Ura Zelda/ Disk Drive. This man has so much potential

That's a very creative pronunciation of "Dylan Cuthbert" at 2:38

Where can I get these early builds mentioned in the intro, in playable format, and can they be run on Everdrive X7? Have they even been released/built? I'm intrigued.

I always wonder why Nintendo hasn’t opened up a museum or archive of some kind documenting all of this kind of cut content.

3.5 years development for an N64 was a long enough time to have 4-5 different builds of a game, huh? Today I feel like games undergo less drastic changes maybe. Seems like a full game takes like 5-6 years now in maybe one or two stages? Idk I'll keep watching. Hopefully you have stuff all the up to newer games.

wow portals and reflective water on n64

I dunno I'm not sure he's telling the truth. The guy being interviewed, I mean. He's promoting this new game of his, we recently have these leaks making interest in early N64 builds peak again, and then all of a sudden he's like "BTW I worked on the first map for Ocarina of Time in a secret build and I came up with Portal's gimmick and got it running and light mapping running and real-time reflections on N64 but nobody except me ever saw it." Bull. Absolute bull. I mean I'm not saying it's impossible but the timing and the details are SUPER suspicious, and when pressed about it he pauses for like, ten seconds looking around scratching his head going "Uh uh uh" and then just says "I guess because... nobody ever saw it..." I'm not gonna call him a liar but we only have his word for all this. It's not a great source at the moment. I'd love to uncover what he was talking about in a new leak or something down the line and be able to compare it to this interview like how we can compare the Mario Kart town track to the interview describing it and the parking garage. The only things we have to back his claim up are the Super FX Link and a tech demo featuring a different model entirely. Tech demos aren't builds, they're tech demos. Just like that one for Wii U where the only thing used was the lighting engine for Wind Waker HD. I just don't think we have enough evidence to cast off the skepticism and extremely suspicious other factors surrounding this dude.

zelda fans mistaking tech demos/hardware demonstrations for actual lost games is surprisingly common.

Giles Goddard recently showed off the actual in-game portal function on twitter with a gif. He also said he *does* still have the build.

Could you ask Guiles Goddard to give us his early build?

another amazing vid. great work

Zelda's Secret Ocarina gang!!! Killer series dude. Living my dream.

The first model of Link looks like it was based on the CD-I games.

Hows the research goin in climbing on & fighting a giant Ganon?

Well tbf some of the interior of hyrule castle is in the game we can see it in the windows at zelda's garden I guess they server as reminder of what was once an idea they had as well.

WOW!! I was not expecting so much information!

I didn't know there was more to the game in 1995

You showed 2 Kirby games there, Kirby's Air Ride and Kirby Ball 64, not just one

Portal before Portal? Holy crap! :O

very exited for the URA zelda video.. i have been obsessed with URA zelda for years lol

I see this just as i sit down to eat a big ole bowl of pasta. Buck yeah

Thanks Obsessive Gamer! The ideas that didn't make it into the final game blow my mind. It would be awesome if someone made a build that somehow implemented those features.

One question, do you think other Zelda games had as much cut content as OoT?

Thanks you for this video and this series. It's rly entertaining to see all the things that didn't make it. Curious to find out what you will show us next.

Didn't see the notification, but the "I just checked my subscription tab" squad is here!

Amazing video as always, I really enjoy the way you explain things and put us in context so smoothly, I can't wait to see the Majora's Mask video!!

Amazing content

Lol so much repeating videos. Over and over again.

Great video

Portal 3

The portal was probably farores wind
