Unused actors

There are a number of actors, some used for debugging purposes that are still in the game, one example:

Stage情報NPC (Stage information NPC)

Unused music

Under the Streams folder in the AudioRes directory, there's a single audio steam file named smw.ast. It is the remixed Super Mario theme used in the Special World in Super Mario World. Since all of the game's actual music is sequenced, this wouldn't fit anywhere in the game (let a lone a MARIO SONG wouldn't fit at all in a ZELDA game).

Regional differences

The Japanese version features an additional game mode called Tetra's Trackers. This mode has been removed entirely from all other versions of the game, possibly due to it having a lot of spoken dialogue that would have needed to be translated. It also pronounced player's names out loud, possible due to the simpler Japanese pronunciation, in English this would be nigh on impossible to do accurately.
