Unused Inventory Screen Items#

MM (U) 1.0#

(05) - Fairy Ocarina#

The Fairy Ocarina appears in the first batch of Majora's Mask pre-release screenshots, in August, 1999. The Ocarina of Time doesn't appear until December.

(0B) - Fairy Slingshot#

Link is seen in pre-release screenshots with the Fairy Bow equipped from August, 1999, till December, upon which the weapon's design changes to match the Hero's Bow. When he might have used the Fairy Slingshot is unclear. This item is referred to as the "longshot" in the game.

(11) - Longshot#

Zora Link is seen in pre-release screenshots from August, 1999 with the Longshot equipped on B. It's likely that this ability was later replaced with Zora Link's special attacks. The only remaining icon in the game is for the Hookshot, not the Longshot, despite everything else indicating the Longshot. This item is referred to as the "fairy slingshot" in the game.

(1C) - Blue Fire#

Unlike the other unused items, this item's name was translated into English. It may have been used for melting ice before the Hot Spring Water was implemented. It can be sold for 50 rupees at the Curiosity Shop.

(26) - Hylian Loach#

The Hylian Loach was likely replaced by the Seahorse, an item which also once came in a bottle. The text associated with it is located next to the Seahorse's text in the game's script. Like the Zora Eggs, it can be sold for 20 rupees at the Curiosity Shop.

(27) - Granny's Drink#

The icon for Granny's Drink is identical to that of the Empty Bottle. In the game's script, オババ (old woman) is used to refer to both Kotake and Anju's grandmother. Consequentially, it is uncertain which old woman this item references.

(31) - Moon Stone#

The icon for the Moon Stone is identical to the icon that is displayed when you buy maps from Tingle, though it never appears in your inventory. Because there are two references to the Moon Stone in the Japanese get message and description for the Moon's Tear, it seems that this was an early name for the item used in the Deku Scrub title deed trading sequence.

MM (J) 1.0 Only#

(24 to 25, 29 to 2F) - Granny's Drink#

This item appears in MM (U) 1.0, but it has multiple duplicate entries in MM (J) 1.0. See (27) - Granny's Drink.

(35) - Poacher's Saw#

The Poacher's Saw is an Ocarina of Time leftover.

(36) - Broken Goron's Sword#

The Broken Goron's Sword is an Ocarina of Time leftover.

(37) - Prescription#

The Prescription is an Ocarina of Time leftover.

(38) - Eyeball Frog#

The Eyeball Frog is an Ocarina of Time leftover.

(39) - Eye Drops#

The Eye Drops are an Ocarina of Time leftover.

(3C to 43, 46 to 4C) - Moon Stone#

This item has multiple duplicate entries in MM (J) 1.0. Its icon is slightly bigger than that of the normal Moon's Tear icon.

Unused Quest Screen Items#

MM (U) 1.0#

(4A) - Wind Medallion#

This text is a leftover from the early development of Ocarina of Time.

(4B) - Fire Medallion#

This text is a leftover from Ocarina of Time.

(4C) - Ice Medallion#

This text is a leftover from the early development of Ocarina of Time.

(50) - Fierce Deity Link's Sword#

While icons for the Kokiri Sword, Razor Sword, and Gilded Sword appear on the quest subscreen, depending on what Link has equipped, the Fierce Deity's Sword does not.

(59) - Green Wallet (99)#

It's easy to tell from this wallet's icon that it holds 99 Rupees, making it the smallest wallet available. It does not match any wallet from Ocarina of Time, nor does it exist unused in that game's files. However, the same icon was later discovered in an overdump containing assets from an Ocarina of Time build from late 1997. Wallets never appear on any of the pause screens in either Zelda game.

(5A) - Adult's Wallet (200)#

This wallet, identical to the Adult's Wallet from Ocarina of Time, can be obtained by depositing 200 Rupees in the Clock Town Bank. However, wallets never appear on any of the pause screens in either Zelda game.

(5B) - Giant's Wallet (500)#

This wallet, identical to the Giant's Wallet from Ocarina of Time, can be obtained by collecting 30 Gold Skulltula Tokens from the Oceanside Spider House. However, wallets never appear on any of the pause screens in either Zelda game.

(5C) - Fishing Rod#

The Fishing Rod is identical to Ocarina of Time's. When used, Link takes it out and holds it, but the model is invisible, and the game freezes when it is cast. The fishing rod was updated and used in the 3DS remake at either the Southern Swamp or Great Bay fishing holes.

(66) - Nocturne of Shadow#

This text slot is leftover from Ocarina of Time, when Link had 6 warp songs instead of 5.

(6C) - Sun's Song#

This text slot is leftover from Ocarina of Time, when Link had 6 non-elemental ocarina songs instead of 5.

The Sun's Song itself is in Majora's Mask, with it's unlock flag always set to 0. Using codes to enable it or accessing debug tools and setting the flag to 1 allows it to be played and has the same effect it does in Ocarina of Time, and can make the moon crash if the player does not enter another area on Night or the Final day.

(6E) - Gold Skulltula#

The Gold Skulltula count is leftover from Ocarina of Time. The Gold Skulltula counter in Majora's Mask appears on the HUD when Link is in a Skulltula House, rather than on the quest subscreen.

(6F) - Piece of Heart#

To do: Write a description.

(70) - Piece of Heart#

To do: Write a description.

(71) - Sun's Song#

This text slot is a duplicate of item 6C, and is leftover from Ocarina of Time, when Link had 6 non-elemental ocarina songs instead of 5.

(72) - Song of Time#

A duplicate of Item 67.

(73) - Lullaby Intro#

To do: Write a description.

MM (J) 1.0 Only#

(69) - Goron Drums#

The drums can only be used as Goron Link. They work as expected, causing Goron Link to pull out his drum set. The icon was updated and used in the 3DS remake on the Ocarina Button as Goron Link.

(6A) - Zora Guitar#

The guitar can can only be used as Zora Link. It works as expected, causing Zora Link to pull out his guitar. The icon was updated and used in the 3DS remake on the Ocarina button as Zora Link.

(6B) - Deku Pipes#

The pipes can can only be used as Deku Link. They work as expected, causing Deku Link to pull out his pipes. The icon was updated and used in the 3DS remake on the Ocarina button as Deku Link.

(72) - Mirror Shield#

The OoT Mirror Shield, complete with the new Gerudo symbol it later used in the GameCube version of that game. More often than not, using it crashes the game, but if it doesn't it will work fine despite being invisible.

Unused Map Screen Items#

(99) - Boss Key#

Unused "Get Item" Models by Shader#

Picking up these items does not display a "Get Item" model. As such, these are not used.

(20) - Stone of Agony#

The Stone of Agony is unused in Majora's Mask. When obtained, it replaces the Ocarina of Time with a blank icon in the inventory screen.

To load it, use these GameShark codes and go to South Clock Town:

8154E6DE 000C
8154E7B4 0006
8154E7C2 0A20

(39) - Biggoron Sword#

A model for Biggoron's Sword is present at ROM address 013BF00 - 013BF8C0 (US). It uses shader #39 and object #00CB.

(70) - Magic Mushroom#

This "Get Item" model is similar to the Odd Mushroom from Ocarina of Time. It was likely intended to appear when Link acquired a mushroom using the Mask of Scents.

(9E) - Hylian Loach#

This "Get Item" model is connected to the unused Hylian Loach item.

(9F) - Bottled Hylian Loach#

This "Get Item" model is connected to the unused Hylian Loach item.

(xx) - Bottled Seahorse#

This "Get Item" model is identical to that of the Gold Dust. It seems that the seahorse originally came in a bottle.

(AD) - Big Poe#

This "Get Item" model is a recolour of the Poe model that is used in the Potion Shop in Ocarina of Time. Its shader is #AD and its object is #0139.

(B2) - Poe#

This "Get Item" model is identical to the Poe model that is used by the Potion Shop in Ocarina of Time. Its shader is #B2 and its object is #0139.

(B4) - Bottled Bug#

This "Get Item" model is identical to the Bottled Bug in Ocarina of Time's Potion Shop. However, bugs are not sold in any shop in Majora's Mask.

(EB) - Bronze Quiver#

This is the "Get Item" for the starting quiver. It exists within Link's player actor, ovl_player_actor, but isn't referenced.

It's linked to object 0097, which contains the game's quivers. The shader it uses is #15, while the silver Large Quiver uses shader #16, and the gold Largest Quiver uses shader #17. Because Link automatically receives the starting quiver when he obtains the Hero's Bow, its "Get Item" is never seen.

(F8) - Music Note: Yellow#

This is the "Get Item" for a music note that used to be displayed when Link learned a new song. The object also went unused in Ocarina of Time.

(F8) - Music Note: Purple#

This is the "Get Item" for a music note that used to be displayed when Link learned a new song. The object also went unused in Ocarina of Time.

(F8) - Music Note: Orange#

This is the "Get Item" for a music note that used to be displayed when Link learned a new song. The object also went unused in Ocarina of Time.

(F8) - Music Note: Blue#

This is the "Get Item" for a music note that used to be displayed when Link learned a new song. The object also went unused in Ocarina of Time.

(XX) - Bottled Zora Egg#

The Get Item model is not used, however you would receive a bottle and a Zora Egg. Shader #59 Object #01AE.

Unused Items Actions#

To do: Supposedly, the Goron Bracelet functionality is present in the game, which allows Child Link to pick up bushes. Deku Link, however, does not have it and as a result he will struggle picking up bushes just like Child Link in Ocarina of Time. This is unseen however, as Deku Link cannot pick up bushes in the first place without the use of glitches.

In ovl_player_actor file contains data items, can be found in offset 00CC9A20 - 00CFE660 (J 1.0), the original items values can be found in 0x2EAEC at 0x2EB5C in ovl_player_actor (J 1.0).

gameplay_dangeon_keep#

Many Ocarina of Time development leftovers can be found from offset 010AF000 - 01141630 in the Japanese v1.0 version of the game. These offsets are equivalent to the gameplay_dangeon_keep file in Ocarina of Time, which also contains various development remnants.

Majora's Mask also shares a set of unused icons with Ocarina of Time, as seen below.

Heart#

This model can be seen in an Ocarina of Time pre-release image.

Majora's Mask (ripped graphic)	Ocarina of Time (early screenshot)

(xx) - Arrow#

Though there is not much detail on this object, it was probably used during the development of Ocarina of Time, as it is found among the lost icons.

Bomb#

One of the oldest leftovers from the previous game's development, back when the interface used an A + B control scheme.

Majora's Mask (ripped graphic)	Ocarina of Time (early screenshot)

Heart Container#

There is an unused Heart Container model in Ocarina. Majora actually contains an icon for this item.
