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

To do: Keep integrating the dummied-out messages into the article main body, and add further info about unused lines.

Ocarina of Time contains a number of unused messages. Each of the game's messages is linked to a four-digit hex identifier, available here.

Almost every message has a developer comment attached to it in Japanese and English to help identify the text and occasionally provide hints to the localizers, such as indicating the tone of a speaker or confirming who is doing the talking. These comments have been sourced from the iQue leaks. It is unclear who wrote the comments and at what point in development they were written, but the English comments seem to be based on an older version of the Japanese comments. To highlight the occasional differences and keep the page clean, an unofficial translation of the Japanese comment is provided in the "Dev. Note (J)" column, rather than the original text.

Message Organization

ALL_0

000B#

You'd think this would be used if you happened to be in possession of the Giant's Knife when completing the fetch quest for the Biggoron's Sword, but it isn't. Instead, line 000C is used, which says "You handed in the Claim Check and got the Biggoron's Sword!" The developer note attached to it reads "Biggoron's Sword Obtained w/o Giant's Knife".

In the final game, the Giant's Knife can be bought from Medigoron as an adult for 200 rupees. It's unclear whether this indicates that the Giant's Knife was once part of the trading quest, and if it took the place of or could be used instead of the Claim Check to trade for the Biggoron's Sword.

巨人のナイフと　交換で
剛剣ダイゴロン刀をもらった！
絶対折れない、匠のワザだ！

You traded the Giant's Knife 
for the Biggoron's Sword!
This blade was forged by a 
master smith and won't break!

002C#

You can still play at the Shooting Gallery even without the Bow.

ダメ…　弓もってなきゃ。

You can't! You need a bow!

0049#

An unused line for the Bombchu Bowling Alley proprietor. In Japanese, she says "Alright, pulling myself together... START!!" This and the apology in the English translation are presumably in reference to sleeping on the job.

じゃ、気をとりなおして…
スタート！！

Sorry about that...OK, well...

LET'S BOWL!

006A#

This generic line isn't used by any shop in the final game.

いらっしゃいませ！
買い物する
ひやかし

Welcome! May I help you?

I want to shop
Just looking

008D#

This message can't be triggered in any way. Attempting to use a Big Poe results in the standard "This item can't be used here." message.

ビッグポウは　ここでは　使えない！
城門の男に　売りつけよう！

You can't use a Big Poe here! 
Sell it to the man at the Hyrule 
Castle Town gate!

00B5#

This message is identical to 00B4, which is displayed when you destroy a Gold Skulltula. Since the note on the used line is "Gold Skulltula Destroyed, Name Unknown", it appears the message would've changed somehow, perhaps after talking to the man in the House of Skulltula.

黄金のスタルチュラを　倒した！
倒した「しるし」を手に入れた！

You destroyed a Gold Skulltula.
You got a token proving you 
destroyed it!

00BE#

The slingshot Shooting Gallery is located in the Market during the Child Era, while the bow Shooting Gallery is located in Kakariko Village during the Adult Era. Despite this location's changing nature, it uses a single scene file. The map it exits to, the actors and objects loaded, and the era it corresponds to change depending on in-game circumstances. As such, it is not possible to legitimately access the slingshot Shooting Gallery as an adult, and even if you do the proprietor won't say this line, anyway.

To do: Double check the veracity of that last sentence.

ダメ…　オトナのくせに。

C'mon, man! You're too old for 
this game!

00C9#

You can continue playing in the Shooting Gallery after losing or winning, so it is unknown when this would have been used.

はい、おしま～い！
つぎの　仕込みが　おわるまで
外で　まっててね～！

All right, you're done! 
Please wait outside while I set 
up your next challenge!

00D0#

Watch on YouTubeThis message is linked to an unused door variable. The door is slightly ajar, but slams shut according to its own volition when Link approaches it. If Link tries to open it, the message below appears.

These doors may have been present in a demo version of the game available in Seattle at an event called the 1998 Toy Test, which took place in July and August 1998. According to a contemporary account of a Zelda fan known as David C., when he visited Kakariko Village as Adult Link, most of the doors in the village were open, but when Link approached them they were slammed shut in his face.

あかないヨ？

It won't open!

00F9#

When you catch a Big Poe, the used message 508F is displayed, which reads "You caught a Big Poe! Sell it at the Ghost Shop for a lot of money!" The developer note for the used message reads "Big Poe Caught". This, along with the dummied-out Big Poe shop message, suggests that it was possible to obtain a Big Poe without catching it yourself.

Oddly, only this message displays a Big Poe icon, while 508F (unlike other "caught" messages) does not.

[Item Icon 1E]ビッグポウを　ビンにつめた！
ゴーストショップで　売ろう！
なにか　いいこと　あるかも。

[Item Icon 1E]You put a Big Poe in a bottle!
Let's sell it at the Ghost Shop!
Something good might happen!

NAVI_8

The name of this file suggests that Navi messages were once prefixed with 80xx.

Additionally, the fact that unused line 012D is labeled "Dungeon 6 Hint 6" and unused line 013F is labeled "Dungeon 8 Hint 8" suggests that dungeon hints once occupied IDs 0100-013F, with 8 hints for each of 8 dungeons. The hints are no longer categorized in this fashion, with some dungeons having more hints than others, and numbering being inconsistent.

Navi Dungeon Hints I#

0109 - 0118#

011A - 011B#

Two of the dummied-out lines are slightly noteworthy in that their Japanese message content does not match their text ID.

０１０７

011a

０１０７

011b

011C - 011E#

011F#

Hint 4 has this strange line with no obvious location of what it could be referring to.

[Link]…
なに　ジロジロ　見てるの？！

[Link]... what are you 
staring at?!

[Link], what are you 
looking at?

0120 - 0123#

0124#

The one hint actually present in the dungeon ended up inaccessible by accident. The Navi target is located behind the statue's face and its collision disables Navi's targeting. This was caught and corrected in Master Quest, which moves the Navi target in front of the statue's face.

この　女神像の顔…
邪悪な気を　感じるの…

The Desert Colossus's face...it 
sure looks evil!

0125 - 013C#

013D#

It would seem originally there were fake flags present in the Haunted Wasteland and you would have to use the Lens of Truth to make them disappear. In the final game, all the flags are real. It is the Poe guide who is invisible and must be viewed with the Lens of Truth in order to lead Link on a safe path through. The Guide Poe's actor was added very late into the game's development, as revealed by the commit logs found in the development leak.

WHAAAT!? Look at all those flags! 
Can you figure out which ones are 
real?

013E - 015E#

Saria Hints#

0164 - 016F#

This line would be said if you played Saria's Song and chose to talk to Saria after completing Jabu-Jabu's Belly (in the final game, she says something similar after getting the Goron's Ruby, except it's about the Stone of Water and King Zora), but before obtaining the Goron's Bracelet from Darunia. However, this condition is impossible to legitimately fulfill: In order to reach Zora's Domain, Bombs are required. In order to obtain the Bombs from Dodongo's Cavern, one must first have the Goron's Bracelet (which triggers Saria to give the "Darunia liked my song" message until you get the Ruby).

精霊石を　あつめてるの？
あと　ひとつ　なの？
炎の精霊石だけ　なのネ？

ゴロン族のダルニアさんが
もってるって　デクの樹サマから
きいたこと　あるワ…

Are you collecting Spiritual
Stones? You have one more to
find? You mean the Spiritual 
Stone of Fire, don't you?

The Great Deku Tree once told me
that Mr. Darunia of the Gorons
has it...

Navi Dungeon Hints II#

0180 - 01B1#

This Navi message wasn't deliberately left unused. It was supposed to pop up in the spinning scythe room in the Ice Cavern, but the developers added a staircase over the actor responsible for triggering it, rendering it inaccessible. Oops.

Also, while the mention of an "Ice Temple" might be exciting, it is likely that it is a mistaken copy-and-paste from the developers' notes around it, which say "Shadow Temple Adult". It also appears to be a one-off, as other Ice Cavern hints are labeled "Ice Cavern".

どこかから　声がきこえてくるよ…

「５つの白いルピーあつめろ！」
…だってサ。

I can hear a voice from
somewhere...

It's saying:
"Collect five silver Rupees..."

This warning from Navi would have been used for the spooky ferry in the Shadow Temple:

ここの船にのるなら、気をつけて。
かなり　古そうだし…
いつ　沈むか　わかんないヨ。

If you want to ride that boat, be
careful! It looks very old… Who
knows when it might sink?

The Navi target for this message is located near the door on the other side of the chasm after the boat ride. While technically not unused, the trigger is too far to target from the other side of the chasm and also disappears after the bird statue is bombed down. This was caught and corrected in Master Quest, which moves the target closer to the edge. The message can still be seen in the original game by using the Scarecrow's Song and Longshot to avoid bombing the statue.

ここに　トビラが　あるよ…
どうにかして　わたれないかな？

There is a door over here... Is 
there any way to get across?

A rather unhelpful comment from Navi. This line may have been for the red ice located right at the entrance of the dungeon.

赤い氷なんて、変わってるね。

That red ice...it's so weird!

This comment from Navi is present near the totem statue blocking the door that leads out of the Megaton Hammer room in the Fire Temple. However, the trigger for the message is placed one unit too high, which makes it impossible to see, possibly by mistake.

"この　石像って…
どっかで　見たことあったよねぇ？"

"This statue...haven't we seen it
somewhere before?"

DOOR

0200#

This placeholder text can be triggered by loading variable 0000 of the "checkable spot" actor. In addition, it appears in the Sasa Test map found in the Master Quest Debug ROM.

しゃべる扉で～す！

Hi! I'm a talking door!

0216#

ちいさなカギが　当てた人だけが
この先に　チャレンジできる
はずれた人は　帰りましょう

Those who find a Small Key can 
advance to the next room. Those 
who don't can go home!

0217#

This unused message would presumably have been triggered if you'd attempted to speak to King Zora directly.

余に　話しかけるならば
壇上から　話すゾラ。

If you wish to speak to me,
do so from the platform.

0222#

More mysterious door text.

ただいま改装中

This door is currently being 
refurbished.

0228#

This message from Navi is for a check spot located inside the yellow eye switch in the double fire circle room of Dodongo's Cavern. It is located too close to the wall to read but it is unlikely it was meant to be seen anyway due to its location and primary function of alerting the player to the switch's presence.

見て！　見て！

Look at this!

To do: Get a pic, add a description.

0302#

This unused sign is interesting in that the Japanese text, "城塞都市　ハイラル" (Fortress City Hyrule), differs from the final name, "ハイラル城下町" (Hyrule Castle Town). Perhaps the former was an earlier name for the city.

城塞都市　ハイラル

Fortress City Hyrule

Hyrule Castle Town

0303#

An unused sign for the Temple of Time.

時の神殿

The Temple of Time

030D#

This unused sign text is identical to message 023C, which is used by a check spot in the entrance room of the Shadow Temple. No doors give this message.

カカリコ村に伝わる
真実の目を持つ者のみ
闇は道をひらくであろう

The Shadow will yield only to one
with the eye of truth, handed
down in Kakariko Village.

0313#

This text was likely used on a sign that was once located outside the Forest Temple, as can be faintly seen in this screenshot from a promotional video:

This unused message does appear on one of the signs in a Kokiri Forest scene setup, indicating that message IDs got moved around at some point.

森の神殿

Forest Temple

031D#

There is no sign in front of the Spirit Temple in the final game. However, artwork made for the official guide does depict a sign located in the spot where the Magic Bean spot/plant is in the final game. Additionally, sign object 012F is loaded, but not used, in the Desert Colossus Adult setup.

魂の神殿

Spirit Temple

0328#

This unused sign text would have kept track of your record time for the Dampé race. Additionally, sign object 012F is loaded, but not used, in every room of Dampé's Grave.

オラと遊んだ人の記録
[Dampé Race Time]
墓守りダンペイ

The record time of those
who raced against me was:

--Dampé the Gravekeeper

032A#

It seems that Hyrule Castle Town once had sign text for each business. In Majora's Mask, the Treasure Chest Shop and the Lottery Shop are two different things.

宝くじ箱屋
売っているわけでは　ありません

Treasure Chest Shop
We don't necessarily sell them...

032E#

An unused sign for the Happy Mask Shop.

しあわせのお面屋
しあわせ配達人ぼしゅう中

Happy Mask Shop!

032F#

An unused sign for the Bombchu Bowling Alley.

ボムチュウボウリング場

Bombchu Bowling Alley
You can experience the
latest in Bomb technology!

0330#

An unused sign for the Bazaar.

なンでも屋

Bazaar
We have a little of everything!

0331#

An unused sign for the Potion Shop.

クスリ屋

Potion Shop

0332#

There's a sign in front of the Zora Shop in the final game, but no sign in front of the Goron Shop.

ゴロンのお店
山で必要な品あれこれ

Goron Shop
Mountaineering Supplies!

Gossip Stones#

0400#

Just as message 0200 is placeholder text for door descriptions, this line is a placeholder for Gossip Stone descriptions.

ゴシップストーンで〜す！

This is a Gossip Stone!

TEKI

0600#

A placeholder for Navi enemy texts. The equivalent for general Navi texts, ID 0100, was localized the same way into English as this line, but they differ from each other. The general line is used when checking Ruto's bottle, the Ocarina of Time underwater, and (in Master Quest) the cows in Jabu-Jabu's Belly.

わからない！

What's that?

0620#

Navi's informational message about Gold Skulltulas goes unused because they can't be targeted.

黄金のスタルチュラ
のろいのクモと呼ばれてるよ。
倒せばしるしがもらえるよ。

Gold Skulltula
This is also known as a Spider of
the Curse. If you defeat it, you'll
get a token as proof!

062E#

Like Gold Skulltulas, Dead Hand's Hands can't be Z-Targeted, rendering this Navi description unused.

デドハンドの手
つかまれたらボタン連打で逃げて！

Dead Hand’s Hands
If it grabs you, tap any button to escape!

064A - 064B#

Moblins are not targetable in the final game, but by using a GameShark code to enable Link to target every actor, the line can still be triggered. The following code works in the Master Quest Debug ROM:

81032968 2419
8102F0E0 2418

The removed Navi description for the spear-wielding Moblin in the Sacred Forest Meadow:

While technically not unused, Big Poes fly away so fast that it's not normally possible to Z-Target them in time to see this text.

Big Poe
This Poe won't disappear even

MORI_1

1049 - 104A#

This unused Kokiri dialogue references the Deku Tree's sad fate, as well as the forest's connection to the element of wind.

デクの樹サマ　どうかしたの？

Did something happen to the 
Great Deku Tree?

なんだか　森の空気が　変わった…
そんな　感じ…

Somehow, it seems that the air in
the forest has changed.

105B - 105C#

おニイちゃん、
[Link]ってコ
知らない？

むかし、森から　出て行ったまま
帰ってこないの…[goto 105C]

Mister, do you know a boy 
named [Link]?

He left the forest and never
came back...[goto 105C]

もう、帰ってこないのかナ〜。
[Link]…

I wonder if [Link] will 
ever return?

105D - 105E#

This line is said by the Kokiri boy next to the crawl hole as Adult Link. The Kokiri only appear in the Forest with the Forest Medallion in Link's inventory, and he only says this line if the Medallion is not in Link's inventory.

ニイちゃん　イイな、おっきくて！
ニイちゃんみたく
おっきくなりたいな～。

おっきくなって　強くなって…
デクナッツとか　やっつけたいな。
でも…

It would be awesome to be big 
like you, mister! I really want to
be big like you!

I want to be big and strong and 
beat up the Deku Scrubs, but...

オイラたち、コキリ族って
おっきくなれないんだって…
つまんねーの！

We Kokiri won't ever get bigger 
for the rest of our lives...
What a bummer!

1069#

A message spoken by Phantom Ganon!

The "gap between dreams and reality" may be linked to the alternate dimension referred to in the boss' full title, 異次元悪霊ファントムガノン (Evil Spirit From Another Dimension: Phantom Ganon). Additionally, the "dream" bit may be a reference to Phantom Ganon manifesting himself as the villain that haunts Link's nightmares.

我が魔力に　囚われし者よ…
夢と　現実の　はざまで
みじめな屍を　さらすがよい！

Thou who art imprisoned by
my magic...
May the gap between dreams and reality
bleach your wretched corpse!

I have you now! 
In this gap between dreams and 
reality, soon all that will remain 
of you will be your dead body!

106E#

This line is before Mido tells Link that he trusts him after playing Saria's Song. The game does a jump to that line instead of this one. It might have been jumped over by accident or intentionally for some reason.

サリア　まだ　帰ってこない…
でも　いつか　きっと…
きっと　帰ってくるヨ！

Saria hasn't come back yet...
But I know she'll return someday...

1078#

The Deku Tree Sprout helps communism take root in Kokiri Forest.

森は　ボクたち
みんなで　守っていくデス！

We'll all work together to protect
the forest!

10AE#

This line comes after learning Saria's Song. Saria would have presumably said this when talked to in the Sacred Forest Meadow at some point.

サリアのオカリナ　大事にしてる？

Are you taking good care of 
my Ocarina?

10D4-10D5#

Two unused near duplicate lines for buying Deku Sticks and Nuts from Deku Scrubs. The line used for buying sticks in the final game specifies that the price is for a single stick.

まいったピー！
おわびに　デクの棒　売るッピー！
１５ルピー　だピー！

I lost! Now I'll sell you a Deku 
Stick for 15 Rupees.

まいったピー！
おわびに　デクの実　売るッピー！
５個　２０ルピー　だピー！

I lost! Now I'll sell you Deku 
Nuts if you leave me alone.
5 pieces 20 Rupees they are.

HEIYA_2

200D#

An unused line for Talon. It seems that he originally awarded you with an Empty Bottle when you visited him at the ranch after waking him at the castle, instead of giving one to you as a prize for winning the Super Cucco game.

ムニャ…　ムニャ…
はい、おきてますだーよ！

ん？

おー、よく　きただーな！

あれから　マロンに

What?

Hey, it's you! Welcome!

Awww... That was rough!
Malon yelled at me for a long
time!

You took care of us, so I'm proud 
to give you this milk! You can 
keep the bottle for yourself.

200F#

Both the Mountain Gate Guard and the Carpenter Boss are programmed to respond with this line when offered a trade item other than the one they want (Zelda's Letter and the Poacher's Saw, respectively). However, because the player code responsible for actually initiating the conversation first checks if the item being requested by the NPC is what the player selected and defaults to a generic failure message if it is not, this doesn't get displayed. You can get the text to display by changing the actors to request Blue Fire instead, which is special-cased to always trigger conversation regardless if the items match.

ID	Script (J)	Script (E)	Dev. Note (J)	Dev. Note (E)	style="width: 15% | In-game
200F	そんなもの　いらん！	I don't want that!	Blocking Hylian Soldier, Don't Want	Warrior doesn't want it

2011#

An unused line for the soldier in Kakariko Village who guards the gate to Death Mountain Trail. This message directly follows the response he gives after being shown Zelda's Letter.

おや　勇者クン、
おつとめ　ごくろう！
ハッハッハ！

2014#

This seems to be an earlier introduction line for Ingo as Child Link.

オレは　馬の世話係の　インゴー。
仕事のジャマだ、どきな　小僧！

I am Ingo--Mr. Ingo to you.
I take care of these horses.
You're in my way, so scram,
kid!

2017#

A line intended for the encounter with the dying knight in Hyrule Castle Town's Back Alley. Message 7008, "He's not moving anymore....", is used instead.

だめだ…　息をしてない…

Oh no... He's not breathing...

2018#

It seems Zelda would have shouted at Link as she passes by him with Impa and throws the Ocarina of Time.

[Link]！？

[Link]!?

2058 - 205A#

These appear to be earlier lines for Ingo's horse race. It seems you didn't have to pay to race.

久しぶりに　レースやる？
[two-choice]やる
やらない

It's been a while...
Do you want to race?
[two-choice]Yes
No

気が　かわったら

If you change your mind,
come back anytime!

そうかい。
じゃ、とっとと　帰んな！

All right then! Scram,

205D - 205E#

Talon uses an alternate milk buying text in the final game which also includes the option of playing the Super Cucco game. It's possible the mini-game didn't exist originally.

これ以上　サービスしたら
インゴーが　うるさいだーよ。
これからは　フツーに　売るだーよ。

If I give ya more free of charge,
Ingo will get mad at me. So I'd
better sell it to you for the
normal price.

やめとく

Wanna buy milk for 30 Rupees?

[two-choice]Buy
Don't buy

206D#

Kaepora Gaebora says this when you make him repeat what he said in front of the stairs to Kakariko Village. He only says it if the flag for having obtained Zelda's Letter is set, but the flag also removes Kaepora from the entrance of Kakariko Village. Curiously, the line was also left half-translated.

オイ、[Link]！
ちょっと　こちらを　ごらん。
インパから　オカリナの歌を
教えてもらったようじゃな？

その歌は　ハイラル王家のあかし。
どこかで吹けば　役に立つじゃろう。

この先は　カカリコの村。
気をつけて　行くがよい…

Hey, Link!
Look over here!
Looks like Impa taught you
an Ocarina melody, no?

That song is the mark of the Royal
Family. Try playing it somewhere,
it might come in handy.

Beyond here is Kakariko
Village. Take care on your
journey...

Hey, [Link]! 
Look over here!
Beyond this point you'll find
Kakariko Village. Watch your step!
Hoot hoo!

2089#

Another unused line for Talon. In the final game, his line for if you attempt to purchase milk or win the Super Cucco game a second time with no empty bottles is similar to this, but with an ellipsis instead of an exclamation point, which then cuts to another text box where he points out that you have no empty bottles.

ほら、とれとれの
ロンロン牛乳　持って行くだ！

Here you go! Take this super
fresh Lon Lon Milk!

YAMA_3

3029#

An unused Darunia line, foreshadowing your later encounter with Link the Goron.

オメエには　感謝してるゴロ。
オレのこどもが　生まれたら
オメエの名前を　つけるゴロ！

You know, I'm so grateful to you.
When I have a kid, I will name it
after you!

302B#

An unused explanation regarding the use of Bomb Flowers. In Japanese, the speaker has a stutter, which seems to be characteristic of the Goron Shop proprietor, though it may have been used by the Goron standing next to the Bomb Flower in Death Mountain Trail whose lines are also attributed to "Goron C".

こ、この　バクダン花は
[A]で　引っこ抜くゴロ。
も、もいちど[A]でセットするゴロ。

You pick the Bomb Flowers with 
[A]. Press [A] again to set it.

303A#

This unused line is located alongside other Fire Temple text. It suggests that imprisoned Gorons originally awarded Link Small Keys upon rescue. In the final game, the dungeon's keys are located inside treasure chests.

た、たすかったゴロ！
サ、サンキュウゴロ！
こ、これ　やるゴロ！

I'm saved!
Thank you!
Here, take this!

303B#

This unused line would have been spoken by Darunia somehow prior to the battle with Volvagia.

[Link]…
もう　ダメだ…

オレの　力じゃ
コイツは　押さえきれねぇ！

に…　逃げろぉ～！！

303F#

Sheik does indeed bid you farewell after teaching you the Bolero of Fire, but she reuses message 106D, which is part of her Minuet of Forest dialogue. The two lines are identical in Japanese, but the English translation for 106D is slightly different: "[Link]...I'll see you again..."

[Link]…　また会おう！

[Link]...See you again...

3044#

This seems to be an alternative "thank you" line for the Gorons, but none of them say it.

た、助けていただいて
ほんとに　感謝してますゴロ！

Thank you very much for
saving us!

3047#

Another unused line for the Goron Shop proprietor. In the final game, if you talk to him before defeating Volvagia, he says, "Oh, no! Everybody's gone! Only I was left behind!" Despite the line being changed, it seems his line for after defeating Volvagia was a reference to the original line, "Everybody has come back! It's business as usual!"

た、た、た、たいへんゴロ！
みんな　いなくなっちまったゴロ！
でも　ショーバイは　つづけるゴロ！

Big problem!
Everybody is gone!
But I'll keep my business open!

3049#

An unused line for Medigoron. It can't be triggered legitimately, as it requires you to enter his chamber without bombing the final wall blocking access to his room.

せまい…

Tight fit...

Apparently, after your first encounter with Princess Zelda, you were originally meant to visit her again after obtaining the Goron's Ruby but prior to acquiring Zora's Sapphire. This prompt to return to the castle was removed from the final game, but Zelda does still have unique dialogue if you pay her an optional visit with the Ruby.

Kaepora Gaebora is still programmed to display this message in Zora's River if you talk to him after learning Saria's Song, but before learning Zelda's Lullaby. However, this situation isn't possible in regular gameplay, as you can't leave the Castle Courtyard without obtaining Zelda's Lullaby and you need Zelda's Letter for Kaepora to appear and Saria to move to the Sacred Forest Meadow. Saving and quitting after receiving Zelda's Letter but before learning Zelda's Lullaby doesn't save Zelda's Letter, either.

ホホーゥ！
[Link]よ、ちょっとは
たくましくなったようだのぉ。

ゼルダ姫は　お前が
戻ってくるのを　待っておるぞ。

ゴロンのルビーは
もう　手に入れたはずじゃな！

Hoot hoot!
Link, you look as though
you've gotten a little bolder.

Princess Zelda is awaiting
your return.

You should have the Goron's Ruby
by now, no?

Hoot hoot!
[Link], you look like 
you're getting more comfortable
in your role as adventurer.

I think Princess Zelda is 
waiting for you to visit her again.

You already have the Goron's Ruby,
don't you?

4023 - 4024#

These unused Ruto messages occur between the used lines "You...You're late! What took you so long? You're useless! I was just lonely, that's all... Just a little!!" and "You! You looked cool... cooler than I thought you would, anyway... Just a little! Well, anyway, you saved me, so I guess I'll reward you. What do you wish? Just tell me..."

チョッピリ…
コワかったんだから…ゾラ！

[Link]！
[Link]！

[Link]!
[Link]!

4033#

A strange message. It precedes the line "Her most precious possession? You don't know what she's talking about[...]". It seems that Zora's Sapphire may have initially been awarded by King Zora after successfully locating Princess Ruto, rather than presented by Ruto herself.

ルト姫を　みつけた！！
これで　キングゾーラから
水の精霊石が　もらえる…　カモ？

…………ん？

You found Princess Ruto!
Now King Zora will give you the 
Spiritual Stone of Water...
Well, maybe.

Huh?

4058#

This unused Sheik line's position indicates that it would have been part of her congratulatory speech on beating the Water Temple.

ボクは…
キミが　この世界を救ってくれる
と、信じている…

I...believe that you are going to 
save this world...

406A#

A helpful lesson from the Magic Bean Seller. In the final game, a dialogue box tells you how to use the beans after you receive one, followed by the bean seller instead saying, "If you want to plant beans, go around and look for soft soil. Chomp chomp chomp..."

マメを　[C]にセットして、
ためしに　この横の土の上で
使ってみなよ。　ポリ…ポリ…

Set a bean to [C],
and test it out by using it
on the dirt next to us. Chomp chomp...

Set a bean to [C] and use it on
the dirt right here.

4079#

Pierre is programmed to say this line if you talk to him again as an adult after playing the Scarecrow's Song for him as a child. However, this isn't possible because Pierre is gone from Lake Hylia in the adult era, and the Pierre you summon with the Scarecrow's Song is a separate actor who cannot be spoken to.

アンタが　聞かせてくれた　あの曲は
今でも　オラの心に　残ってる。
一発　やってみっか！

That song you played for me still
stays in my heart. Let's hear it
again!

408A#

An unused option to continue fishing. In the final game, if you speak to the Fisherman mid-fishing, he'll give you three choices: "Weigh my fish", "Let's talk about something", and "I want to quit". Selecting the third option will either yield for the Fisherman to say, "Come back when you get older! The fish will be bigger too! Maybe..." as Child Link, or for him to simply say nothing as Adult Link.

まだ　やる？
はい
いいえ

Do you want to continue fishing?

Yes
No

There's a strange guy living in the

him, Mr. Hero?

The Gerudo gate guard has different dialogue, rendering this line unused.

よう、新入り！
開けてやるから、ちょっと待ちナ！

Hey, newcomer! Wait a second 
and I'll open the gate for you.

6008 - 600A#

These three messages seem to have been meant for the snake statues in the entrance room of the Spirit Temple. The statues would have said different things depending on Link's age. As it wouldn't make much sense for the text to change, different lines are used instead.

過去の入口

The Entrance to the Past

現在の入口

The Entrance to the Present

未来の入口

The Entrance to the Future

600D - 6012#

Alternate lines for the horseback archery, for whatever reason.

アタイは　ゲルド一の　弓の名手！
さらに　ゲルド一の　乗馬の達人だ！

２０ルピーで　やぶさめ　やるかい？
はい
いいえ

I am the Gerudo master of 
horseback archery! On top of 
that, I'm the Gerudo master of
horseback riding!

Want to try horseback archery
for 20 Rupees?
Yes
No

いい度胸だね…
気に入った！　ついてきな！！

You have guts--I like you. 
Follow me.

馬がいなけりゃ　話にならないね。

It's out of the question if you 
don't have a horse!

腰抜けには　用はないよ！

I won't have anything to do with a
coward like you!

フン、口ほどにもないねぇ。
出直してきな！

Ah, you are not as good as you 
claim. Maybe next time.

や、やるじゃないか…

今日のところは　負けを　認めるよ。
アタイも　まだ　まだ
修業が　足りないねぇ…

You did well.
For today, I admit I lost. 
It seems I have a lot of room for 
improvement.

6013#

An unused line for the Gerudo stationed in front of the entrance to the Training Ground. In the final game, if you try to approach or interact with any Gerudo before obtaining the Gerudo's Membership Card, they just arrest you on the spot. In addition to this unused line, the description for the Membership Card only states that it allows you to "[...] get into the Gerudo's training ground in their hideout." This suggests that, originally, the card may have simply granted you admission to the Training Ground, rather than allowing you to roam freely around the entire fortress.

ここは　ゲルド族の修練場。

会員証を　持たぬ者は　入れない！

This is the Gerudo's Training 
Ground.
Nobody is allowed to enter 
without a membership card.

602F#

The brainwashed Nabooru would have spoken this line after being ordered to attack by Kotake and Koume.

ガノンドロフ様ニ…
サカラウ者…　コロス…

I will destroy... all
who oppose the great Ganondorf...

Great Ganondorf's...Enemy...
Must die...

6037#

This would have presumably been said by the master of horseback archery and the original way to obtain the Membership Card. It would seem you would've earned their trust in word only.

アタイが　大切にしていた
コイツをやるから、また　勝負だよ！

I'll give you this thing I've
been looking after. We'll have to
have a rematch sometime!

Here, I'll give you this...
It's a very important thing to me.
Let's have a competition later!

6038#

Sheik would have seemingly said this after teaching the Requiem of Spirit, but instead she retreats silently.

[Link]…　また会おう！

[Link]... Let's meet again
someday!

[Link]...see you again!

6070 - 6072#

More unused lines for the guard at the entrance to the Training Ground. As mentioned above, you cannot initiate conversation with her before obtaining the Membership Card, which automatically qualifies you to enter the Training Ground.

ここは　ゲルドの修練場。
資格なき者　入る事　まかりならん！

This is the Gerudo's Training 
Ground. Unqualified persons are 
not allowed.

ここは　ゲルドの修練場。
資格を持つ者よ…　おのれの力を
存分に　みがいてくるが　いい！

This is the Gerudo's Training
Ground. You're qualified...
C'mon in and hone your skills
as much as you want.

ここは　ゲルドの修練場。
たとえ　資格ある者でも…
宝物を　ひとりじめは　するなよ！

This is the Gerudo's Training 
Ground. Even though you're 
qualified, don't hog all the 
treasure here for yourself!

If you want potions, you'd better 
bring an empty bottle. Understand,
young man?

残念ですが、これは　ニセモノです

I'm sorry, but this is just a model. 
Because of the crisis in Goron

If you plan on scaling Death

You can defend yourself against
falling rocks with that shield.

But it might be a little bit 
big for a kid....

706D#

This unused line from the final battle was replaced by Zelda's line "Use the Master Sword! Destroy Ganon with the sacred sword!"

[Link]！
時の剣…
マスターソードで　とどめを！！

[Link]!
Finish him off with the sword of
time, the Master Sword!

706E#

This unused line is located among other text used during the sealing of Ganon at the end of the game.

六賢者により開かれし封印の扉よ…
闇の化身と共に　永遠に閉じよ！

70DF#

At the end of Ocarina of Time, Princess Zelda plays the ocarina to return Link to the child era, where he returns the Master Sword to its pedestal and Navi takes her leave. In the very last scene, Link is seen to visit Zelda in Hyrule Castle Courtyard, where the two meet again for the first time. This line's position suggests that it was intended to be displayed there.

アナタ・・・　だれ？

You...who are you?

Interestingly, the line itself seems to be an older version of Princess Zelda's original dialogue upon meeting her. The content is slightly different from her used lines below:

！

だ、だれ？

!

Who?!

あ、あなた　だれなの…？

どうやって　こんなところまで…

Who are you?

How did you get past the guards?

However, it is almost identical to the dialogue shown in this screenshot from June 1998, save for a single space:

70EC#

This message is found amid the Hyrule Castle Town NPC text, but no one actually says it.

なによ？
今、それどころじゃないのよ！

Hey, what do you want?
I don't have time to talk
to you!

70EE#

The peddler does not respond with this line, no matter what item you show him.

ちがうんです！
ビンのなかみが　ほしいんです！
そうじゃないんです！

No...
That's not what I want...
I want something inside a bottle...
I didn't mean that thing...

70F3#

It's impossible to sell the peddler a fairy.

あ～　妖精さん　だ～っ！
２５ルピーで　買います！
もう　かえしませんよ～っ！！

Oh, a darling little Fairy!
I'll buy it for 25 Rupees!
All sales final, OK?

7148 - 714B#

The position of this unused mask reaction text suggests that it would have been spoken by a resident of Kakariko Village.

キツネは　キライじゃよ！

I HATE foxes, sonny!

うっとうしいカオしとるのお。

Now if that isn't the most
irritating face I've seen in
all my days, I don't know what
is!

なかなか　よいカオを　しとる。

Hey, that's a fine face
you got there, sonny!

なにか　フマンでも　あるのかい？

Have you got any complaints?
Speak up, then!

7165#

Unused Kokiri mask reaction text. Developer notes on used lines indicate that this text would be spoken by Kokiri boys, but it's not clear which mask it would be a response to.

ミドが見たら　なんていうかナ？
見物だネ。

I wonder what Mido would say if
he saw that?
I really would like to see his
reaction!

Zelda would have spoken this line when she encountered trouble during the escape sequence.
