Beta Enemies of Ocarina of Time | Zelda Cut Content

[@Wyatt_James]

The slime enemies are called Zols. Zols exist in Zelda 1, ALttP, Link's Awakening, and the Oracles to name a few games. Weird how they never made the transition to 3D.

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

Technically Chus from Twilight Princess are those, but with a different name and they produce Chu Jelly

[@ZeldaboyOG]

Zols break down into small Gels. Then in Zelda 2 you had Bits and Bots, neither of which break down. Since the OoT beta ones break down into smaller ones I would agree with you that they are Zols. The TP Chus should also be Zols.

[@dawnbreaker2912]

I think they just became the Chus in later games, and they never bothered to retcon the original. Or maybe that's just what they were called at that Hyrule timeline. Zelda 2 just randomly renamed a bunch of monsters unnecessarily to add confusion (Keese are called "Aches" for some inexplicable reason, and you'll never convince me that Iron Knuckles and Darknuts are not the same thing).

[@Wyatt_James]

@@dawnbreaker2912 can the Zelda 2 shenanigans be chalked up to translation liberties?

[@dstinnettmusic]

@@Wyatt_James Almost certainly. They never thought people would actually care that much about their games back then. Deep lore beards weren’t all about video game lore back then because the limitations of the medium.

3:42 That Beta Octorok is cute. He's so happy to be found ^^

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

We've been looking for him for a while, i'm glad he is :)

(TURNS INTO THE BETA OCTOROK) meow

[@zaizen4359]

It was really cool to see some info on some cut enemies from Ocarina of Time. I really like the prototype Octoroks as you can see how they tried so hard to model it off the original NES version....and it looks so ridiculously out of place-straight out of the early trailers! The current version in comparison looks so much different. I also want to give a high five to whomever in the development team thought to use the ARWING to simulate Volvagia’s movements-that’s some ingenuity right there! The beta chu was funky to see as well. I wonder why it was scrapped? I always love when a prototype element from an earlier game makes its way into a newer one-like how we see the chus in Twilight Princess and Wind Waker. All of these videos have been very enjoyable to watch so far. I basically eat up any alpha/beta/cut Zelda content, so the gigaleak was a great time for me LOL

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

Thank you! Yeah I feel early builds of Zelda 64 were taking more a NES inspiration with its cartoony design while later they started to go for more the ALTTP realistic look. I do have in the description a link to the interview of the Arwing which credits the guys who thought of this genius move if you are interested. I imagine the Beta Chu was taken out cause him splitting apart into multiple enemies may have been a bit much for the N64s memory to muster. Regardless, thank you for enjoying all these! planning to return with more.

[@robintst]

Beta Iron Knuckle is based on his original design in the first Zelda, hence the winged helmet.

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

Good eye on that! There definitely is an allusion to them designing the characters and enemies like NES Zelda including the Stalfos looking more like their Zelda 1 variant

[@dawnbreaker2912]

Darknuts, you mean?

[@ZombifiedBuizel]

You mean Zelda II?

[@dakotakirkpatrick1335]

@@TheObsessiveGamer I I'm happy that they found Luigi in Mario64

[@DragonFire64]

What I find interesting about the Beta Iron Knuckles is how close they were to how Iron Knuckles were in Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link, with them wielding a Sword & Shield and everything. Though having Iron Knuckles wield an axe in the final game does help the Iron Knuckles stand out from Darknuts. Even though Darknuts & Iron Knuckles never appear in same the game together outside of The CD-i games, Cadence of Hyrule and The Relics of Hyrule Mod for Skyrim.

[@radishpineapple74]

Notice how the beta floormaster/wallmaster has 4 fingers, while the final one has 5. This change was probably done to conform to censorship laws and standards, because four fingers is associated with Yakuza.

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

Hmmm is there a censorship law like that considering Yakuza games have the 4 finger display at times?

[@radishpineapple74]

@@TheObsessiveGamer The four-fingered thing isn't a law as far as I know, but it's still a standard in that publishers will usually self-censor themselves in order to avoid controversy. There are cases like the Simpsons which famously have 4 fingers without much trouble, but on the other hand, there are many cases where publishers go through the effort and expense to add a finger.

[@younghacker09]

you're videos are really interesting and well made man keep up the good work!

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

Thank you!

[@palecrayon]

As a child i swear the ar-wing would appear in the ice cavern room with the boots. Its the strangest thing i feel like im having a Berenstien bears moment

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

I imagine the game could have glitchrd to make the arwing appear as it's not programmed at all to appear there. Maybe the actors!/objects code glitched to it

[@palecrayon]

@@TheObsessiveGamer thats what i assume happened it must have been a bug, i had just assumed was an Easter egg all these years haha

Floormaster is really Ganondorf's hand and they are nasty.

[@Heraplayswith]

I watched many Zelda theory videos before. But newly discovered your videos. I've seen some cut contents of the game before, but for example I never thought of Arwing animation was used for Volvagia. And your videos kinda reminds me of Dr. Wily's Zelda videos. Thanks for putting up a lot of effort and making these videos! 💖

[@SameytheHedgie]

I hope I don't work when this is premiering aaa

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

Hopefully you are are then. If not, always can watch later and try for another premiere :)

[@Gator159]

3:10 Slimes, they are in the final game game. They are the floor slugs that are always on Fire. Found in the Adult Fire Temple, you can flip them over with the Hammer and they make the same sound as the "Like-Like's" (I forget the name of those things)

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

I consider them seperately as slimes are supposed to split apart. Both are soft though lol

[@dstinnettmusic]

I think that the chu enemies from Majora’s Mask might be more direct descendants to those slimes

[@itsslothh3908]

I always wondered if moblins texture in OOT were last second beta textures they used they look so much less detailed and basic compared to other enemies of the game, the face especially has a much different art style from the rest of the game

[@1993Southparkfan]

The first time I saw the Arwing in OOT is a video showing a montage of OOT photos. And because of that, I thought the Arwing was photoshopped until I saw actual gameplay footage.

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

Yeah it's a weird one that one would at first think is fake.

[@05r41]

When i saw the 1995 mario 64 beta on the real nintendo channel it shocked me kinda but kinda scared me cause the beta of mario 64 is really creepy like the a.i making the game personalized

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

Well the whole personalized copy isn't real actually, but alot of the of the old 1995 build does have a creepier element to it I agree

[@PrimevalDemon]

@@TheObsessiveGamer I feel so stupid for past me. I would have instantly known had I not been so sleep deprived! Thanks for your exhaustive coverage of the game btw. I didn't grow up with the original but playing 3d in middle school during summer vacation was quite the magical experience. So I really value stuff like this. Great work as always. Additionally if you don't mind maybe the end slate segment with the video links and subscription stuff should be lengthened for about 10 to 15 seconds longer than it is now? Just a suggestion. Regardless Thanks again

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

@@PrimevalDemon Thank you! 3D is the definitive way to play it, so good on you! I usually like to make those 20 seconds just cause that is the limit KZbin allows and gives people time to click on it

[@GaiaChrono]

I don't remember if this was confirmed or not, but wasn't Ocarina originally being developed as a Zelda II overhaul/ remake on the N64? I want to say a lot of the earliest content, even Link's model with brown hair and yellow band hat were evidence of this. Not to mention a lot of the enemy designs, when compared to their Zelda II counterparts, do have quite the similar look before being remodeled, textured, and completed to what we see in OoT.

[@dakotakirkpatrick1335]

Did ocarina of times leak have the unicorn fountain

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

Unfortunately not. So we are still stuck just a few screenshots. Hopefully one day in a Gigaleak 3

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

@UCq9w_OhPK-OE0yK4Gm07Dvg Nothing we heard or ever even saw in the beta concepts as far as we know. Who knows if it ever was intended to exist

[@leberpower2022]

A question, was navi supposed to be in a Zelda game ? There’s beta content about her ?

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

She was definitely planned for the game. There's plenty of footage of her in the beta. You can actually see her hovering over links head near the end of the video when Link is in front of that sunset.

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

@@tafferchuck1349 The big red button is from the GameCube version of Ocarina of Time. The Arwing is found within the data of the game. I literally captured this footage myself by enabling from within the data, the Arwing to appear. I only use the GameCube version because it is easier to mess with, but this can be done on the original too. Hell, literally pull out an N64 copy of the game, a gameshark, and find the code to activate the Arwing. It works.
