Japanese Version Features#
Saving#
The kiosk demo lacks the ability to save at owl statues, which was introduced in the final western release.
Poison Water#
If you're in the poison water as Zora Link in Woodfall outside of the temple and die, he will be lit on fire. This does not happen in any other area with poison water. In the final western release, the death oddity in Woodfall was removed.
Swordsman's School#
If you successfully complete the Expert course by scoring 30 points you can still walk around for a while and do things like leaving the area. In the final western release, you lose control right away after slashing the last log.
Postman Heart Piece#
It is much harder to get because you have to be exactly frame perfect. In the final western release, the last digit of the milliseconds counter was cut out, which allows for a certain margin of error and makes it easier to press A at the right time.
Clock HUD at 12:00#
Because Japan uses a 24 hour clock system, the clock HUD reads "0" at 12:00 PM and 12:00 AM. In the final western release, the clock HUD reads "12".
Fourth Heart Piece#
Upon collecting the fourth Heart Piece, the fanfare of a Heart Container collection will play instead of the generic one used for the first three pieces that the final western release plays instead. The collection is complete after closing the text box, unlike in the final western release where its effect is immediate on pickup.
Area Subtitle Bar#
Great Bay Coast's area subtitle bar doesn't show up after you exit Zora Hall or Waterfall Rapids. This was added in the final western release.
Termina Field's Time Transition#
When the camera overlooks Termina Field during a day/night transition, the screen HUD will not appear before the camera returns to Link. It does happen in the final western release.
Song of Double Time Storage#
At night, if the Song of Double Time storage glitch is activated during loading to a location where a day transition does not reload the area, time will skip ahead to a day later than the song under normal use would take you to. In the final western release, the glitch would only reset the day the same as it does in locations where a day transition does reload the area.
