• $F5 - BWOD0

Appears to be just any regular tree.

• No Number - BWOD1

Original	Corrected

The two center tiles, WOD04 and WOD05, could've been switched during development. There doesn't appear to be any graphics in the leaked data that fit.

• No Number - BWOD2

Original	Corrected

IWA00 is the liftable rock tile, despite the structure name being BWOD2 which implies it's related to trees. The "Corrected" image is a mockup of what it could look like.

• F7 - HOUS1: This unit's name translates to "House 1". It's described in ZBS.DMG as a "Long space home (house)", but ZBN.DMG marks it as unused.

A house exactly like this one appears on an earlier version of the overworld map which was based on A Link to the Past.

• F9 - MHOKO: This unit's name translates to "Water Shrine", which is also the internal name of the Swamp Palace in A Link to the Past. It's described in ZBS.DMG as "Mizu no hokora iriguchi", meaning "Water Shrine Entrance", but ZBN.DMG marks it as unused.

This structure was also featured on the A Link to the Past-style map.
