This is a sub-page of Development:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Unused actors and objects in the Ocarina of Time iQue leak.

To do: This page is not completely illustrated and is already slow to load, especially with the videos; splitting it up or changing to images/gifs instead of embeds may be inevitable. (Or native video embeds may be enough)

As zelda_fd is the object for Volvagia's flying form and zelda_fd2 is the object for Volvagia's Whack-a-Mole form, there may once have been a second phase to the Gohma boss fight. In the final version, object list entry 00E3 is a copy of 00E5, zelda_ny, which contains a spike trap.

Magic_Light#

This actor was dummied out in z_actor_dlftbls.decl. Its purpose and object are unknown. However, given that it shares a similar name to the medallions, which at one point in development were all equip-able as elemental spells; along with the apparent placeholder effects above for the fire, wind, and ice magics; it can be reasonably assumed that this was a placeholder object for the light medallion spell.

However, given that it shares a similar name to the medallions, which at one point in development were all equip-able as elemental spells; along with the apparent placeholder effects above for the fire, wind, and ice magics; it can be reasonably assumed that this was a placeholder object for the Spirit medallion spell.

Objects

ID Known#

zelda_oF1#

To do: Add gifs for the animations.

The folder for this object can be found in data/shape2. It's commented out in data/obj_make.

There are two other similarly-named objects. zelda_oF1d_map contains Goron, Medigoron, and Biggoron, and zelda_oF1s contains an early, unused Goron.

The model itself looks like zelda_oF1s, but is missing the unreferenced display list for the Goron curl and seems to utilize a different animation format.

Pre-release	Final

The animation data is stored separately inside zelda_oE_anime, which includes 2 different animations.

Animations#

oFx_konnichiwa_anim

oFx_matsu_anim

zelda_gate#

It used to be sold in the removed Lon-Lon Ranch store (also present in these files, and referenced in the internal list of shops and items inside ovl_En_Ossan in the final game).

zelda_spot01_objects2#

The folder for this object can be found in data/shape2. According to the commit logs, it was added to the game on 1998/08/17. Unfortunately, its contents appear to have been dummied out.

ID Unknown#

be_old#

This object is an early flame animation with eight frames.

The fire effect used in the final game consists of two overlapping textures, a flame shape and a noise image. The noise image scrolls to create the illusion of flickering. This is less resource-intensive, and uses a longer animation loop.

zelda_va#

No corresponding object for this folder remains, but it's commented out in data/obj_make. Volvagia is referred to as z_boss_va.o, so this file may have been related to it.

zelda_marker#

To do: Investigate this in conjunction with the unused marker function. Did this just get moved to gameplay_keep in the final? Also, what's the file path for the MM file?

According to a file called find_Gfx.tag, which, despite being found in the directory of Majora's Mask, references early Ocarina of Time material, this actor contained the following:

./zelda_marker/Shape/marker_shape.c:19:extern Gfx marker_model[]={
