The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass/Map Data/MapObject Rooms

This is a sub-page of The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass/Map Data.

Early Level Geometry

While most maps are tile-based, with their model files automatically generated by the map editor, there are some rooms that had custom models made for them, for example boss arenas and interiors, allowing for more immersive camera angles during cutscenes.
Those areas are implemented using separate models, which are loaded into the respective map and are used for the entire geometry of the respective area.

These models are stored in a separate directory, and Nintendo did not remove the original models that are stored natively inside the map files themselves, so we can explore them in their early, unfinished state here!

Of note is that the minimaps shown on the top screen are actually generated from the tilemap by the map editor, just like the unused, native map models. Therefore, they don't actually reflect the models actually used in-game. This is usually not very obvious since the basic layout tends to be similar, but in some areas the mismatch is very clear. However, since many of these rooms are interiors or areas that can only be accessed during cutscenes (or have the camera set up to show the 3D viewport on both screens), these minimaps are usually not seen.

Early Steel Interiors

After fighting the respective bosses, you enter a room where you get the sacred Metal. In the final game, those are once again handled as MapObjects, including leftover original level geometry.

Early House Interiors

There are a few unused house interiors present. While all final house interiors are properly labeled, these aren't. Some of these were used in the E3 demo map, the others are presumably early versions for other maps.

  • Zelda PH room a 0.png
  • Zelda PH room a 1.png

room_a_1

room_a_1 was used for the top right house, room_a_1_1 used for the top left house, and room_a_1_3 for the bottom house on the beach section of the E3 demo map. room_a_1_2 was not used.

Ember Island

Ember Island is a bit of an exception here in the sense that the early non-MapObject house interiors are still present in the map files with their level geometry intact!

room_fire

This is the room of Astrid's assistant.
