There's some more unused dialogue in Zelda: Ocarina of Time, according to this site. (Scroll down to "text dump oddities".)
Once again, I could be wrong, but I certainly don't recognize any of the things the author claims are unused.
To be honest, the Door to the Past/Present/Future text always fascinated me. Weren't there roughly two versions of Zelda 64/OoT, with the other being dumped in favor of Ocarina? I always wanted to see what the original game ended up being. =/
Also would like to mention Darunia has text for when you find the Fire Tunic before you rescue him, but... the event doesn't trigger the shortcut opening to Death Mountain. Makes it a pain in the arse. |

Yeah, I bought the Tunic THEN saw Darunia. Didn't work =P He never gave me the tunic (still had my own), and never opened the shortcut.

I don't believe it, it's still Schala, I tell yee! XD *shot*
Seriously, awesome. I'm glad this found was found out =P It also makes sense, because while the unused overworld sprites in the Pre don't highly resemble him, they do if you squint your eyes a little =P
Wonder how he would've been implemented...? |

May not be quite that, but I love things like this. Things of The Scenery Doing It and revealing all the stuff that didn't make it out of beta, but designers forgot to change. =P
I mean, look at Zelda 64. The Adult Market shows the original Hyrule Market without the Happy Mask Man Shop. See here: http://zeldapower.com/images/beta_oot/5betahyrulemarkt.bmp
You can see the same market if you stand outside Hyrule Castle Town from Hyrule Field and look close enough at the images on the way in. =P
...Yeah, way too much free time. ^^;;
(Its really become a pain to find beta Zelda 64 shots since the Zelda Coalition and Zelda Chaos went byebye... ^^;; ) |

They're not very well organized right now and don't have any commentary, Aeonic Butterfly, but I've reuploaded all the beta screens from ZSO as well as all the prerendered backgrounds found in OoT at my webpage. Hope that helps. =)
I believe as well that ZSO is still mostly intact in archive form at www.archive.org.
Thank you, Glitter. Say, you're also from ZSO, right? XD Seen you before.
If you need any help reorganizing, I'd be interested. ^^
(Would it be out of the interest area of TCRF to upload all the pre-release stuff, sicne it was technically cut? But hardly anything can be recovered from the released game ^^; ) |

I agree with Glitter on this one; I would think a subsection would be a great idea, rather than a whole 'nother Wiki. It'd be more sane to keep organized, and the Internet really hasn't had a successful source for all things prerelease game.
I mean, X-Cult was a valiant attempt, but as far as I'm concerned, the project is practically dead, and Unseen 64 has a more schizophrenic layout than I can create. |

| If the subpage thing is a go, can I go ahead and start organizing the Zelda 64 prerelease stuff? Or shouldI hold off? =) |

Speculation A-go-go? To be honest, no idea exactly what to call it. Past Peeking? =P
(And seriously, if this is given a go, is it okay to note some of the rooms that also appeared in the Zelda 64 debug (Room 120, 121 are seen in the magazine pics as a Stalfos fight and a supposed temple thing, then the Stalfos Bossfight, from the A+B Era) |

| If we were to just put up screens that were relevant to the final ROM? (Again, Rooms 121 and 120 to the Debug, and Ganon's Castle appearing in A+B Development) |

http://tcrf.net/Solitaire
Yeah yeah, was browsing the Wiki. =P
I noticed the mention of Solitaire having a game number screen. I remember Win 3.1 had a version of Solitaire where you could invoke the number screen; maybe its not unused, but leftovers from an older version?
Yes, I remember this because Tut's Tomb also used numbering, and I remember comparing the numbers when I was little. =P
If anyone still has access to 3.1, could they double check my statements for me? |

Unreal 1995 Tech Demo

Unreal Tournament "Beta" (more like an alpha but oh well)
Unreal Tournament 2003 late beta
Diablo Alpha (IIRC this is back before Blizzard bought the devs)
I find the Unreal protos fascinating. If its worth noting on the Wiki, the readme to a few of them mentions they were also in development for the DEC Alpha. |

Sorry, but that seems like a complete stretch. First of all, Deadly Creatures was developed by THQ, who had absolutely nothing to do with SMG. Second, the game came out 2 years after SMG and after SMG2 had already been announced. What's more, the creatures in Deadly Creatures are real animals, and the art style is much different.
Edit: Also, I should mention... I finished. I've gone through every model in both SMG games now. There is nothing left to report, at least as far as models are concerned.
I applaud your work. Good job. =) |

| Curiosity, since I think I noticed this before, or my memory's going bad. Does the 3x version have the Enter Game Number, or is that bad memory? |

This is interesting; been a while since it's all been collected in one spot. Thank you for providing translations of the text, as well XD =)
(Give kudos to your friend, as well XD ^^)
ETA: Looking at the 98 stuff, video 1 at :18 seconds in... what is the weird white-blue thing in the upperleft corner, in the Kakariko shot? XD; Is it the dog lady, or what? |

By the way, has anyone determined the date of the untextured zora model? I know it was said to be one of the oldest, but is it from the same time as the other ones that were found? Is there even a way to determine the dates?
It might be feasible to check and see what bones it uses; might not be entirely accurate (they could have rerigged it later), but it'd give a good idea.
Thanks xdaniel, btw. That looks like it. 
(The Zora uses 26 limbs, inline with a lot of the older NPCs, like the Beta Saria model, Beta Fado, and object_human, amongst other alpha NPCs, like blue dress lady above. I have UoT open XD) |

Hey, welcome from the ZSO =D My name was the same there as it is here, and formally, TerminaSageZelda, incase it rings a bell. Nice to see you XD |
