[@danielhall6888]

In the final game, I seem to remember Triforce engravings located where you'd need to play your ocarina, perhaps just an earlier version of them?

[@UraYukimitsu]

The triforce engraving is the cue for playing Zelda's lullaby, since the triforce is said to be the royal family's crest.

Back in 2006 when I was a kid, I used to spend long hours playing with the OoT Debug Rom and posting screenshots of my findings in foruns or showing to my friends. The Ocarina Pedestal was one of my favorite findings and I'm happy that I finally know what it was meant to be thanks to you! Thank you!

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

Thank you! and ah so you were around during the era I was also involved with OOT Cut Content. Were you perhaps on the "Zelda's Secret Ocarina" Forums?

Quality content. I'm really into the beta of Ocarina and thought that nothing really surprised me anymore and each of your videos brought up things that I hadn't considered.

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

Thank you! Yeah for a while we had maxed out on what we found, but I say since the gigaleak happened and we got new beta material, looking back at some of the older stuff in detail is more important than ever, thus why I was able to piece the many spread apart pieces of this Beta Ocarina pedestal too Thanks for watching! Got more I'm planning for OOT

[@SEMIA123]

I would love for miyamoto, anouma etc to do a series of interviews where they're shown cut content from various games and answers questions or just talk about and reacts to them. There's so much we could learn about what was going through their minds at various points in development not to mention I'm sure we'd learn about how things worked.

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

I feel that only Iwata ever did that with them since they revealed quite a bit of info about the cut content actually that way

I've always loved your videos and I've always given you the friendly critique that most of the stuff you talk about would be known to people who have been this fandom long enough, but I always couple that with the fact that you present the information very well. in this video you taught me something I never had any idea about I always just thought it was kind of like a "haha that's weird" type of thing Great job, goron brother!

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

Thank you! Friendly critiques always welcomed and yeah even if known to one involved in the cut content community, my initiative always was to present these, both old and new info in a very presentable documentary that both current and new fans of the subject can enjoy for either revisiting the topic or just to learn this. I am glad that this video let you learn you more as someone also versed on this topic too fellow Goron Brother :)

[@MrLydio]

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

[@mynameisNeo369]

Your channel is great, glad I found it. This playlist is a dream come true, thank you!!! 🙏

[@The-Anathema]

Another possibility for the ocarina pedestal could be to signify that you had to play a song to complete a puzzle (the same role a triforce on a wall or floor has in the final shipped game), in that case it was probably cut for being a bit heavy-handed and clunky. This might imply that we needed a song to open jabu-jabu (and other dungeons?) Like we need to in Majora's Mask.

[@dstinnettmusic]

I like that you are getting into the code So, I’m guessing OOT was made in C++ or something high level like that uses Object Oriented Programming, So the “objects” for each scene is a collection of properties. Probably things like dimensions, textures, and whatever else goes into making a polygon into the shape you want. The Actor is the thing that is rendered. Imagine that the “standard” Actor might be something like a cube of some specific size. The Object give the properties to the Actor and this tells the game how to shape the Actor. Each scene then has some other more complex thing that tells all the actors where to be, this probably also involves using Objects, with the nested Actor+Object polygons being set as an Object for the game to pull information from fit the scenes together. The appeal of this programming method is you can have very modular code that can be interacted with by coding out changes to the objects. So like, you shoot the eyeball, the actor registers a hit, and this changes it’s Object “eye open” property from open to closed and the actor then displays the texture associated with the closed eye.

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

Ooh that's an interesting more technical look at how it all works. Like I got a very basic understanding which I had to dumb down even more in the video as to confuse the audience and stretch out the video more than it needed to be, but I really like this explanation here.

[@JazzonAA]

Nostalgia candy for a 29 year old. Thank you :D

[@zaizen4359]

While I think it pretty easy to use one’s context clues and deduce that this beta Ocarina Pedestal was exactly that-a beta version of the Ocarina Pedestals that you see in the final version of Ocarina of Time, with the functionality that entails such as warping you to and fro, etc....I do appreciate that you took the time to dig a little further and give us not only more on the history of this beta item, but also find some things we may not have been aware of-like the two Jabu Jabu’s in the game, etc. It was weird seeing Jabu-Jabu with four fins.....and two sets of teeth.....>____< (truly, some eldritch creature dwells in the deep waters of Hyrule...LOL) Beta Zelda content always gives me life, and that’s especially true when the content creator takes the time to do their research! Looking forward to future videos!

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

Thank you! and while it was a good amount of research to deduce all the stuff that goes beyond just entering that scene setup, the history of it was all me seeing it back then (and finding the old site that posted it too again originally) Got plenty more planned. Ocarina of Time really is large with Beta Content and following Zelda games too.

[@Kazooples]

I spent hours playing with the beta rom in the hopes I’d find something no one had found yet, I didn’t know how data mining worked though so I didn’t have much of a chance lol

[@cctomcat321]

First Jabu Jabu is probably the normal model, the second being the cinematic one? Like only one would be meant to be shown, then the open mouth model would take a close model placement. Just a guess.

[@zigazav1]

I think the reason there was two Jabu-Jabus, because one is the beta version, while the other is from the final release of the rom.

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

No that wouldn't be the case as this is its own map separate from the final version that also exists in the game. As shown the map editor, that version of the Zora Fountain is what it looked like in the beta version including the 2 Jabu Jabus

[@durangedindividuals129]

[@YowLife]

You have very nice in depth videos on Beta content, especially for The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. Although I would prefer if you correctly pronounced it as "Oh-car-ina".

[@shadowledastray]

Nah, it doesn't matter which pronunciation you use, it will always irritate the "other half" of listeners who are used to the opposite. lol For example, Obsessive Gamer's pronunciation of "Ocarina" sounds right to my ears, but I always get thrown off when I hear people pronounce Mario as "Merry-Oh".

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

Thank you very much! Either pronunciation is fine. I feel the way I say it is correct, so i'll keep going with that lol yours is correct too. Always more than one way something can be pronounced. Thanks for watching! PS. You have pretty fun videos on your end!

[@YowLife]

@@TheObsessiveGamer The original inventor of the Ocarina is Giuseppe Donati, an Italian man who pronounced his own creation's name as "Oh+carina". The name he chose is derived from the Italian word for "little goose", "piccola oca" (pronounced as Oh+kah). I say there's much more precedence to call it the "Oh+carina" out of respect and knowledge for the instrument, rather than the literal mispronounciation that others resort to. The question comes down to: do you follow the trend or go straight to the source? It's akin to calling Link "Zelda" if you don't have enough knowledge on the game.

[@YowLife]

@Marc Carran There are many names in the Zelda series with debated pronunciations: Deku, Gerudo, Epona, Hylian, Kokiri, etc. These are mainly made up words, so debating their pronunciations is common. However the Ocarina(Oh+carina) is a real Italian instrument, with a real-word origin. mistaken identity > When someone incorrectly thinks that they recognize something as something else. Ergo, recognizing Ocarina as "Ah+carina" instead of the original pronunciation "Oh+carina". Imagine meeting a girl named Lara (pronounced Lora) and telling her parents the daughter they named is "Lair+ah" and claiming it has to be right despite the parents' intentions on naming their own daughter to sound like "Lora". This is the very definition of mistaking someone's identity. Perhaps it's not as severe as thinking one person is someone else, but it's the same idea nonetheless. *Giuseppe Donati named it the Ocarina, as in Oh+carina, and I feel we should all respect that.*

[@YowLife]

@Marc Carran Yes words can change, names can change, and meanings can change. This is for a variety of reasons, such as making a word easier to say "Hamburger > Burger" or to avoid offending others "Pussy > kitty". But this is not one of those cases. This is one syllable of a word that was altered for no reason, not to make it easier to say, not to avoid offending anyone. As such you can not claim "Ah+carina" has any benefit over saying "Oh+carina" and vice versa. So if both pronunciations are equal, then the only deciding factor left is what the original creator of the instrument intended. *And we have evidence that he named it the "Oh+carina".* Look there is no need to push this any further. I've fully nullified any arguments to ease of use, intended purpose, and past examples. *Overall, the isntrument in this Legend Of Zelda game is called the Ocarina, pronounced as "Oh+carina".*

What tool did you use in the video

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

[@Fuzzypaws]

I'm curious about the "mole people" from that toy show review. I assume those are the Gorons, but Gorons don't look like moles and don't have a king, unless Darunia was a royal early in dev. XD Did Gorons used to look different, were they originally the skyward sword moles?

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

Yeah i'm guessing that's gorons too. Must be the skin colour I guess? Gorons shouldn't have looked different since they were based on ALTTP's version which still looked similar but mean

[@rexellate]

@@TheObsessiveGamer the reason for that is most definitely because someone said “make the pad bigger” but they didn’t remake the texture to fit the longer sides- so they “stretched” the exact texture along the UVs of the model, thus the stretched look.
