5 Awesome CUT Content/Unused Ideas from Zelda Games!

[@Zeltik]

Sorry if I sounded off, bit sick rn Follow me on Twitter: twitter.com/zeltik Or instagram: instagram.com/zeltikinsta

[@OlleMoquist]

Those assets found in the majora files were most likely just placeholders and would therefore not have anything to do with Ganondorf. They are just leftovers from development. Could have been a model of adult link or any other character with about the same proportions.

Man an alternate Termina Ganondorf that’s just super chill and loves to fish would’ve been the coolest thing ever actually.

[@TheZephyrsWind]

Chat about stuff, have some beer (preferably liquor), and then Link and Ganondorf could just become best friends, putting the past behind them.

[@Danosauruscrecks]

I thought the same thing. You just run into him and he a guy that has no power in a tribe of gerudo where only one woman is born every century. He just hangs out and fishes, drinks milk.

[@deltaknight2764]

There can even be a starting cutscene that has Link mistake Tanon (Termina + Ganon) for Ganondorf. Link notices Tanon chilling and fishing, but Link, having already dealt with Ganon before, rears up and attacks. However, it was at the worse possible time as Tanon pulls up a massive fish that slaps Link in the face by complete accident. Tanon goes to apologize to and help Link, who's on the ground with Tanon's big catch. Link immediately realizes this guy isn't Ganondorf, as he absolutely would've just stomped Link dead if it was actually Ganon.

I would LOVE to see a casual Ganon just chillin' in the Oceanside Fishing Hole. Maybe Link could even get surprised and trip down when first meeting him.

[@linktheheroofhyrule2498]

The original concept for the final boss in Ocarina of Time was a fight against a massive version of Ganon that you had to climb up to defeat him. This idea was scrapped due to hardware limitations but inspired the boss fight against Megaleg in Super Mario Galaxy.

[@rhettmitchell]

Those designs would be great for a new darker Zelda game in the style of Twilight Princess or OOT's shadow tample/bottom of the well. When I played Twilight Princess as a kid those shadow beasts creeped me out, and those cut guardian designs would certainly be at least as effective and seem to fit that theme really well.

[@Hamada-uy8uy]

Well, at the end of the day, Zelda’s a Nintendo series. While it might get s T rating now and then, having pure nightmare fuel for the sake of it would turn off a lot of you get players. I’m all for badass monsters, but I don’t de them ever using fifty foot abominations anytime soon.

Ganondorf was actually considered for Majora's Mask (3D)? That would've been sick! I mean, his Terminian counterpart has to exist somewhere in some form. I think him just chilling in a fishing hole would've been the funniest, most ironic thing Nintendo could've pulled with him. Making friends with a guy whose medieval counterpart is a psychopathic jerk craving for power is bond to make the fishing hole a popular hangout for players. That said, I read some online role play once that depicts Ganondorf's Terminian self as a Pirate King for the Gerudo Pirates. I thought it was a really cool concept, something Nintendo could've done back when originally crafting the game. I think its a huge missed opportunity to not include him as a member of the pirate gang and pose as a final boss of their Fortress instead of the same Gerudo warrior assaulting Zora Link. It would've been a spectacular showdown for a mini dungeon, and a memorable one at that. I can always fantasize it at least. :)

[@stevencooper1103]

There's a ton of cut content from Ocarina of time. My favorite being that the sage medallions were originally intended to be used with the bow to make special arrows. Only 3 stayed in. Fire, Ice and Light. The water temple was originally an ice temple, that's why the emblem is a snowflake. Also the forest temple was originally the wind temple, that's why it's a windmill, also the small sections of both of those dungeons in Ganons tower are based on ice/wind puzzles respectively.

[@royblack27]

that scrapped Guardian art is like a blend of HP Lovecraft and Stephen Gammell, really cool!

[@Boko]

Idea for that blue dungeon: So, the chamber of sages is blue and flowy too, and that is supposedly in the sacred realm, right? The triforce is also in the sacred realm. Maybe, after opening the door of time and lifting the master sword, link had to go through this "dungeon of light/time" in the sacred realm to get the triforce, only for ganondorf to take it. However, that could've been scrapped and replaced with link simply ageing, and ganondorf taking it then.

[@utterclown1580]

Wait.... What if they had it so there were seven mini-bosses. After each fight, link would age subtly.... Then, when you go to fight Ganondorf, you find out that this was a dream, and you've been sleeping for 7 years.....

[@albertnortononymous9020]

You’re right. I read somewhere that what was in the alpha footage was actually the first idea of the Light Temple under the Temple of Time as a dungeon, with the Triforce being at the end of it. They eventually used this idea in Skyward Sword.

[@TheWither129]

I believe the temple of light was going to be a dungeon but it got cut, hence Rauru just giving you the light medallion, which based on interface placement, is the last medallion. there are so many interesting things hinted at that got cut and its kinda sad, namely the wind and ice temples(possibly replaced with forest and water respectively) and light being cut altogether.

...I want chill Fishing Hole Ganon in MM so badly now. That's such an awesome idea. Why did they cut this?

[@brandontoledo1405]

3:27 this idea could be rescued in BOTW 2

[@FabledThunder]

The creatures from 6:31 to 7:08 look like they’re from a book I saw (forgot the name) when I was younger.

[@Saltgod6940]

Probably those scary stories to tell in the dark books(I think that's what it was.) I loved those when I was younger

[@_Tzer]

I actually like the idea of a modern hyrule with a link with a hoodie

[@calmsh0t]

Someone read some lovecraft novels before creating these BotW concept arts :D

[@smartalecl4]

Just imagine walking down to the fishing pond and seeing Ganondorf wearing grandpa-style fishing clothes, like a fishing hat or cargo shorts

[@alexveld2884]

I am just waiting for a Skyward Sword remake for the switch... That game needs more love, it's one of my favs.

[@_Tzer]

You need wisdom and courage to not be corrupted by power.

[@Konfizry]

LET! GANONDORF! FISH! YOU! COWARDS!

[@ultrathief4846]

Lol if fisherman Ganondorf was actually a thing it would be the biggest zelda meme of all time

[@just_a_dustpan]

There's no Card in the top right.

[@NoaH_CrVnched]

I really hope some of the designs of those horror themed monsters return in a later game. I always love when Zelda games get spooky

[@TwinBlasters]

Nose flower??

[@zzheeya2250]

The Dark World Zelda and Chill song you used for your intro is my favorite!

[@Max-qb5ui]

I want an oot remake this year for the anniversary and Majoras mask in two years.

[@Max-qb5ui]

Alice-Cartelet it would be cool I’m not saying it’s gonna happen but I want it to. My stupid theory is that we’re gonna get SOMETHING ocarina related this year because it’s been 20 years since the original release and 7 years since the 3D remake. 7 was a big number in ocarina.

[@stormmarc5706]

That would be awesome to see in 1080p

[@tmt1387]

Tbh I would kind of like to see an Ocarina of time in the world of breath of the wild! It'd be the same story we're used to but in a different setting! I'd love that so much

[@SSDARKPIT]

OoT has been remade to death, even 2 times on it’s original console (1.1 & 1.2), so Idk we might see an OoT remake in 2019.

[@pryt86]

We have one on 3ds

[@ZeroFighter]

8:31 I've seen that frame so many times on a website called The Odyssey of Hyrule which came out shortly after Ocarina of Time did, but I never gave any thought to where it came from. Now I know. Too bad the website no longer exists.

[@twotimer6731]

Please never put zeldamaster in another video. I just watched one from 2 weeks ago and couldn’t last 30 seconds with his voice.

[@BigGamingBossMan]

Twotimin JimmyJones if you give him a chance, he actually is super passionate and makes some pretty awesome content. I initially felt the same way, but its not exactly fair to judge someone based on the sound of their voice. They can’t help how they sound

[@Goodbutevilgenius]

@@BigGamingBossMan Of course they can - they can choose to remain silent.

[@leonardocouto3109]

Holy crap, imagine just going to a pond in Majora's Mask, talking to a guy on... I dunno, flip flops and shorts, who's reeling a line, and it's FREAKING GANONDORF! Imagine the dialogue possibilities. "Hey kid! How's your fish hunt going? Ey, why the weird face? You look like you're blasted away or somethin'"

[@DarkEcho32]

...kinda wish the eldritch designs of the guardians were kept,if even as a completely different enemy

[@kekememe1457]

Love the little detail of the developers using a Skyward Sword npc to show the scale of what they were trying to accomplish with the minish at 3:30

[@Max-uu6rv]

WELL okay tis video is so wrong, why would ganon he in the game? Maybe they just used the models to test something in the fishing hole!? And those things you called guardians were concept art for the game’s visual style, you invented most of the facts And yes termina is as good as it can be it doesen’t need ganon

[@IanFraser420]

Reading Hyrule Encyclopedia, you really learn to appreciate the Zelda team’s development process. Like, Tingle was totally something that someone came up with as a joke, and they were like, “sure, let’s put _that_ in the game.” They deeply enjoy their work, and it shows.

[@marumisu9560]

It seems like every iteration, they're cutting more and more content. BOTW felt so empty. It would have been nice if they had more secrets. I would have rather had secret holes everywhere with 1 or 2 rooms where you fight and get rupees or prizes instead of those ugly shrines. The shrines just felt like a rip off of portal and they were all just copy and paste blue walls.

[@KOTEBANAROT]

Maru Misu and even then they still had to delay it over and over to put something more. i dont mind botw, but i believe the next zelda will be them doing their homework, less empty, more content.

[@marumisu9560]

@@KOTEBANAROT I would have been happy if they made the map tiny and had 6 or 7 really good short dungeons. The only part that actually felt like zelda was going through hyrule castle, which is sad because it's completely optional. They could have completely gotten rid of the shrines and just put copy and paste hyrule castles everywhere and that would have made the game so much better. I wouldn't even mind if they reused the map and just added Dungeons that resemble hyrule castle across the map. I mean if they're really lazy at least just put a color filter on the walls and make them red and yellow and green and purple instead of all the shrines being blue and all the divine beasts being sandstone. There's just so many bad decisions they made in this game. I think they spent 99% of the development time making the overworld and they forgot to make a game.

[@sammyshehole]

I believe the next game will have more content and hopefully including actual dungeons again, since unlike BotW’s development, they don’t have to spend all that time and resources developing a new engine and can instead just use BotW’s engine. Leaves more time for extra content.

[@Emperorcalebtine]

In the Summer of 2000, I recall taking part in Camp Hyrule through Nintendo’s website. In one of the chats, I introduced the idea that the Moon in Majora’s Mask was Ganondorf’s counterpart in Termina. Crazy, I know, but I was just a teenager. I recall one of the NOA people in the chat room ran with that idea I had and it created a little buzz at least throughout all the Camp Hyrule chats. Those were the days.

[@jasonw3414]

ganon at the fishing spots: even tyrannical despots need to chill from time to time

[@sparkymist]

I still think the Triforce thing in OoT was just a demo thing and was never planned to be in the game.
