Heck we got this video to 100K now. Thank you very much everyone! :)

I love how unicorn fountain is basically the holy grail of oot cut content.

[literaltrash]

Imagine being the person just getting a cart that you think is FZero and then you see all unreleased zelda content. This content is 20 years old and NEVER seen or been used till 2021. Crazy

[hebrides]

I'd love to see a remake of OOT with all the cut content now that hardware restrictions aren't much of a problem anymore

[ZeldaMaster]

It really looks like a lot of the cut or changed content was simply due to unfortunate hardware limitations, and nothing more. I really would have loved to have seen some of these areas in the game, perhaps in a true remake, but alas, Nintendo will never do that.

This gives me hope for ura zelda to be discovered once again

19:55 Jesus Christ, those poor souls living in the timeline where they actually added that extra floor

[neoqwerty]

The grave on the side of the castle sounds like the Royal Family's grave, if that makes sense? The game teased a lot about the grave having a secret passage from the castle to the fields-- so perhaps that was why Impa can take you back out of the courtyard and you end up at around that spot? And how Zelda escapes from Ganondorf's pursuit? (It's interesting, because real-world castles HAD these features-- especially smaller castles surrounded by a town, they would have a hidden passage to evacuate in case of an attack on the town inside a holy place (usually the local church or the lord's chapel).

man, i wish the cartridge wasn't overwritten, that seems really interesting

[canaricassius]

Love seeing developers original visions and how they change overtime, you're like an archeologist for video games XD
Keep up the great work!

[RoseBleueDuRosierSec]

Ok, now that I've watched... That water temple is so much prettier :c now I'm a bit sad it got cut.

[TheObsessiveGamer]

Thank you for watching everyone! and thank you all for making us finally hit the big 5K mark! We'll plan to keep making more Cut Content videos as we go forward so make sure to subscribe and stay tuned!

[RaveNinja]

9:40 they should have kept that skylight in the temple's main room, it looks beautiful, through probably they had to do away with it because of the whole Poe Sisters' mechanic and the showdown against Meg.

[Hazardus]

This video is super interesting and really well made, 5k super well deserved.

[MalabarTheGreat]

Great video. I'll never forget how as a kid, I'd stare at the beta screenshots and wonder how the game used to be, prior to release.

[Zephor]

It's amazing that this cartridge was leaked at all but it really makes me wish it wasn't overwritten. I guess we just have to be grateful for what we have. Keep up the good work. You are the best in the cut Zelda content community.

[rexellate]

I love that this cartridge dump happened shortly after your first episode. Perfect timing

[jalen]

4 levels of water in the water temple: *cries*

[treerich]

Beta Lake Hylia ran perfectly fine on my everdrive, so the n64 can handle it fine. I think it was changed because all that empty space may have been thought of as boring to traverse. Also, it may have been worth noting that the famous sunset scene was very likely taken place in the forest building map, as someone on Twitter has discovered. Lastly, I don’t think that beta lost woods matches the screenshot. I think that screenshot takes place along the castle walls, as it can be seen in the background.

[Southparkfan]

It might be just me but it feels like the great fairy fountain in the beta version of Hyrule Castle is a lot closer to the one at Ganon's Castle than it did in the final version. Which is funny because I always thought the path to the great fairy fountain in Hyrule Castle did not match up with the path to the one in Ganon's Castle.
