Unused Text#

A placeholder Dutch language track is in the game, but it's mostly blanked out, or in English.

Unused Actors#

Some actors are completely unused.

Aruki (OKAM)#

The actor OKAM is an unused but fully functional enemy! Based on data related to this enemy, it can be concluded that his intended name might be Aruki.

Similar to Hikkun, an existing enemy from Four Swords, Aruki also requires at least two players to defeat him. However, unlike Hikkun, Aruki cannot be pulled apart. Instead, he exposes his weak spot when attempting to attack one of the players.

In single-player mode, Aruki does not spawn and is replaced by another enemy, such as an Octorok or Stalfos. This limitation may be one of the reasons why he was ultimately removed from the game.

Digging Minigame (ANHO)#

The actor ANHO is an unused but fully functional digging minigame!

Shop Items(SITM)#

DETH#

To do: Are we sure "DETH" doesn't instead mean "Dethl", the final form of the Shadow Nightmares in Link's Awakening?

"DETH" will spawn Vaati and print the message "Vaati is here! You can't defeat him yet!". Vaati will then give chase after the four Links. Touching him in this state results in an instant knockout. In multiplayer, you must be picked up to be revived.
