When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's the end of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D and you shouldn't have done that.

To do: The baby Goron, regular Goron, and Goron Link's sleeping/shielding models have geometry and textures on the bottom, which you can't see in-game. Get pictures of this. Many more of the unused stuff from the original is also present here, including unused items (most of them have the same functonality as the original, but with missing icons), unused actors (like En_Zo or Bg_Keikoku_Saku, which have updated models?), unused cutscenes and scene setups. Visit the talk page for some codes that can be useful to further document these. Unused Link's animation? (index 0x0004?) Appears to be Link when being thrown by the Great Fairy in one of the unused cutscenes. zelda2_keep.gar has a few unused object models in the /debug, /debug_data and /model directories inside the file. Unused Epona's song effect model in zelda2_keep.gar (in /efc_ocarina/model/ocarina_epona_model.cmb). There might be a few more unused ocarina song effect models in there as well. All of Saria's animations seem to be empty (they don't contain actual animation data). Document the leftover 8, 7, 6, 5, 4 and 3 diving action graphics from OoT 3D

Sub-Pages

Unused Link Animations

Unused Text Official translations for most of the previously Japanese only text!

Unused Graphics

Developer Note

The texture haka_kabe_02 in hakaana2_0_info.zsi, whose file name suggests that it is used in the Beneath the Graves map, has 入口 (Entrance) handwritten on its border.

Memory Leak

Present in os/memory_leak.ctxb is this graphic saying that there is a memory leak.

Placeholder Bomber's Notebook Quest Map

Present in layout\map\genbamap\EU_English\000.ctxb (and all other language folders) is this image. The text translates to:

Investigating a case.
There's no map yet.
Sorry.

??? of ??

This suggests that the image is a placeholder for a Bomber's Notebook quest map.

Temporary Icon

Present in layout\Joker.gar called multi_dummy_tex.ctxb is this small icon that says KARI, or Temporary.

Dummy Map

For every scene that doesn't have a minimap, this map exists of Great Bay Temple with the floors viewed together. This can be seen, for example, by wrong warping to the giant's cutscene then voiding out.

Test Minimaps

test01_info	test02_info

These two minimap test images can be found in the Scenes directory.

Leftover OoT 3D Images

Deku Tree	Saria

Two unused graphics which were used in the ending of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D are present in layout\Joker.Main.Ending.gar.

Leftover OoT 3D Menu Icons

Chinese	Korean	Taiwanese

Leftover graphics for the Chinese, Korean, and Taiwanese file select screens from Ocarina of Time 3D are present in menu\savadata_maintainer.

Full Heart Piece

In the same way it appeared in Ocarina of Time 3D, Majora's Mask 3D also features a full Piece of Heart stored in the file menu_collect_parts00.ctxb inside Joker.Main.Play.SubMenu.gar. It's obviously impossible to see this in-game.

Leftover OoT Moon

Inside zelda2_keep.gar.lzs is the file moon_model.cmb, which is a square with the moon texture seen in the original Ocarina of Time.

Anju's Grandmother's Stories

The two pieces of art used in Anju's Grandmother's story are in 3D this time around. To accomplish this, rather than use a static 3D picture, the game stores parts of the artwork in pieces and assembles them in-game. Some art pieces are obscured by other pieces as a result of this.

Carnival of Time (in-game)	Carnival of Time (pieces stored separately)

Notice how the tower, the man with a red shirt and blue mask, and the built sign are all partially obscured.

Four Giants (in-game)	Four Giants (pieces stored separately)

The right giant's left foot is obscured, along with the left giant's left foot, and part of the sun. The background mountains are also hidden from view.

Carnival of Time Background	Four Giants Background

The backgrounds for the two pictures are also partially hidden. The Carnival of Time background is just black underneath, but the Four Giants' background has some hidden detail to it.

Early OoT icons

zelda2_dangeon_keep.gar.lzs still contains the models and textures for the early icons of the Kokiri Sword (knife_model.cmb), Slingshot (patinko_model.cmb), Bomb Bag (bombhukuro_mode.cmb), and Small Magic Jar (mahou_bin_model.cmb) that already went unused in the original Ocarina of Time.

Professor Shikashi	Cursed Skulltula

Two unused icons for both Professor Shikashi and the cursed Skulltula meant to be used in the Bombers' Notebook can be found in the game.

Unused Scenes

test01_0_info

Entrance index
1000

The test map from the Japanese Majora's Mask was ported over. However, a few differences are present:

• Some of the floors are no longer colored, making them look the same as most other floors.
• The ladders as well as the water textures are opaque.
• All textures now have a specular reflection.
• No objects are present.
• Leaving the map will return the player to the same map, as opposed of being warped to the uncursed Southern Swamp.

test02_0_info

Entrance index
1200

It's identical to test01_0_info, except for a few differences:

• It uses less meshes.
• It now uses a single, solid color texture for the whole map, except for the water.
• The water now has newer animated, semi-transparent textures, looking pretty much the same as the water in all other used maps.
• An Owl statue can be found in the stairs area as the sole object. Saving the game in it works although the name of the place displayed in the save file will be "(?)". However, when going back to the save file, the map loaded will be the one in which the player has saved before saving in said statue from the test map.
• The bloom effect is present, which becomes very strong from around 10 AM to 2 PM, brightening the scene considerably to the point where it becomes very shiny.

	From the right Inner Palace Garden	From the left Inner Palace Garden
Entrance index	1480	14F0

In the Japanese version of the Nintendo 64 Majora's Mask, the path to get to the Magic Bean seller at the Deku Palace was much different: the player had to enter the left garden rather than the right and pass through several enemy-filled grottoes to get to the one with the salesman inside. In the international releases and most later versions of the game (including this one), the path was greatly simplified so that the player only has to sneak through the much smaller right garden and drop into a hole. Despite their removal, map data for the removed grottoes remains in Majora's Mask 3D, although their textures were removed.

This vertically-oriented cave originally contained two climbing walls, a few Skullwalltulas (in one of a whopping two appearances in this game!) and a horde of Black Boes.

This grotto, on the other hand, is much simpler. The circular area cut out of the shrubs in the middle of the area housed a Deku Baba in the original Japanese release.

Altered Scene Setup

To do: Some other objects, like a tree, the bushes and the Keaton Fox also have different positions.

For some reason, Grezzo altered the position of Tingle's object in an unused scene setup of North Clock Town (setup 01).

Unused Music

Besides from a few select examples, all of the music in Majora's Mask 3D is streamed, meaning it is prerecorded instead of synthesized. All of the below songs are streamed.

Sun's Song

The Sun's Song, which was unused in the original Majora's Mask, returns...to be unused yet again. Well, its audio does, at least. In the N64 game, the Sun's Song could still be activated via cheat codes, and would make the Moon fall faster. It could also be used on the Final Day, only to make the Moon crash into Termina at an unstoppable speed. It's song ID is 0x33.

Ocarina of Time 3D Credits

The second end credits song from Ocarina of Time 3D returns to Majora's Mask 3D, albeit unused this time around. However, this version of the song is synthesized, compared to the track in Ocarina of Time 3D, which was fully orchestrated. In fact, the composer who made the original version of this track, Ryo Nagamatsu, wasn't even credited in this game!

Stereo Milk Bar Theme

The stereo version of the Milk Bar music that was used in the original game is still left in the game files. It's song ID is 0x56.

Partial Copy of Credits Music

A copy of the second portion of the N64 credits music exists in the game, called 127NA_BGM_OCA_MUS.dspadpcm.bcstm.

Unused Ocarina Songs

Enable the code below on an European v1.0 copy of the game, and then play any song in the ocarina to bring up any of the following songs. The XX refers to the ocarina song playback ID.

	EUR v1.0
Code	6FFFF004 00000000 BFFFF004 00000000 200078B4 000000XX D2000000 00000000

NOTE: All of these songs display the "ERROR!****" message when attempting to display the "You played the X song!" message (in the 1.0 version of the game), likely due to missing text referring to these songs. Besides, when playing these songs in the ocarina, no music will actually play, probably because its associated music sequences are missing in the ROM.

Sun's Song

Like in the original, the Sun's Song from Ocarina of Time 3D is present in this game and fully working just like in the aforementioned game. The only notable difference is the missing light effect that appears above Link (although the lighting around Link still changes) when playing the song. While a streamed version of the song exists in the game (see the section above), it doesn't actually play when performing the song from the ocarina. Interestingly, playing this song results in the time speed increasing to 0x010B, unlike in Ocarina of Time, Ocarina of Time 3D and even the original Majora's Mask, in which said value is 0x0190. It's ocarina song playback ID is 0x0B.

Saria's Song

Likewise Saria's Song playback data still exists in the game. When playing the song, a green visual effect appears, similar to the one that appears when playing the Elegy of Emptiness. Unlike in the original, the Final Hours music does not start playing when performing the song. It's ocarina song playback ID is 0x05.

Zelda's Lullaby

Playback data also exists for Zelda's Lullaby, although unlike with the songs above, no visual effect can be seen when playing the song. It's ocarina song playback ID is 0x15.

Unused Instrument Voices

	EUR v1.0
Code	D3000000 00000000 207CB2E8 000000XX D2000000 00000000

Much like with the original N64 title, Majora's Mask 3D has unused instrument voices, those that can be heard when playing the ocarina, Deku pipes, Goron drums or the Zora guitar. Use the code above to change the ocarina's voice to one of the following "XX" values:

• 03 - Impa's Whistling
• 04 - Sheik's Harp

Unused Models

To do: Saria has a ton of animations. Are all of these from OOT3D, or are some new? Ganondorf, Sheik, and Impa all have animations as well. Get GIFs or videos of these up!

Ganondorf and Sheik

Present in zelda2_fishing_man.gar.lzs are models for Ganondorf and Sheik (with her harp) from Ocarina of Time 3D (Ganondorf is named "fishing_man.cmb", while Sheik is named "fishing_man2.cmb"). The "zelda2_" file prefix indicates that the model was reworked for Majora's Mask 3D. Based on the file name, these characters would have been related to the fishing pond.

fishing_man.cmb	fishing_man2.cmb

Impa

Present in zelda2_fishing_woman.gar.lzs is the model for Impa and her knife from Ocarina of Time 3D. The "zelda2_" file prefix indicates that the model was reworked for Majora's Mask 3D. Based on the file name, Impa would have been related to the fishing pond. She has exactly the same bone structure as the fishing man.

Saria

Present in zelda2_sa.gar.lzs/saria.cmb is the model for Saria and the Fairy Ocarina. She also has the "zelda2_" prefix, possibly indicating new changes made to her model or animations.

Moon Children's Faces

The Moon children's model has a very disturbing unseen feature: their faces are identical to the Happy Mask Salesman's! This is in contrast to the N64 version, in which their faces were not textured.

Biggoron's Sword

Found in actors/zelda_gi_longsword.gar.lzs, is both the Biggoron's Sword and Giant's Knife "get-item" model from Ocarina of Time 3D. The one pictured below is the Giant's Knife.

Ocarina of Time 3D Logo and Copyright

The 3D logo and copyright from Ocarina of Time 3D can be found in zelda_mag.gar.lzs.

Ocarina of Time Actors

Actors brought over from Ocarina of Time 3D have filenames that are prefixed with "zelda" rather than "zelda2", making them easily identifiable.

Development Data

Internal Project Name

Majora's Mask 3D is referred to internally as "Joker". The reason for this becomes apparent when looking at the internal names of other Zelda games released in the same timeframe: Ocarina of Time 3D is known as "Queen", The Wind Waker HD is known as "King", and A Link Between Worlds is known as "Jack", while Tri Force Heroes is known as "Alice". The last moniker might seem out of place, until you remember the playing card elements in the classic tale of Alice in Wonderland, which this seems to be a reference to. The internal name may also be reflected by the game's two-letter code "JR".

Unused Language File

In the European version, there's an additional language message file called eud.gmsg and only contains the word "Link". The name suggests that Dutch may have been an additional language.

Odd Object Placement

Door

There's a door out of bounds in South Clock Town, using glitches to go to the Dummy version of East Clock Town and peeking through the wall will let you see it.

Revisional Differences

To do: Check out the Korean version when someone gets it.

A patch was released on February 26, 2015 which updated the game to Version 1.1. The update was also pre-installed later on carts. This update fixed the following bugs:

• It was possible to become swordless and get the Ocarina of Time on the B Button by starting a game in Honey & Darling's and hanging off the edge just before the timer runs out so the game ends while Link is hanging off the edge. This glitch is actually inherited from the N64 versions where it works in all regions.
• The "ESS Bottle Dupe" glitch which lets you overwrite masks into bottles was patched. This glitch was also inherited from the N64 versions.
• The European version contains a small control code error in the English language. Attempting to deposit 0 rupees to the banker locks up the game. This was fixed by removing the control code.
• On Gorman Racetrack, trying to talk to the blue Gorman Brother to start a race without having enough rupees, then talking to the orange Gorman brother would cause the game to print the error message "ERROR!****". In 1.1, the error message was blanked out which prevents the text box from appearing.
