Specifically: Can this be loaded somehow?

ovl_En_OE2

OoT-A004F-O0035.png
Actor Object
004F 0035

This actor is linked to object_oE2, an unused version of the brown-haired Kokiri girl. However, when loaded in-game, it only appears as a targetable blue spot. Though she helpfully points it out, Navi has nothing to say about it.

ovl_Item_B_Heart

Actor Object
005F 00BD

Owing to the similarities between their names, it is likely that this actor was originally linked to the unused Heart Container object, object_b_heart.

In the retail game, however, it is linked to the used object, object_gi_hearts, which contains the final Heart Piece and Heart Container.

When loaded in-game, it appears and acts as a regular Heart Container.

ovl_En_Bird

Actor Object
0072 0077

This actor is linked to object_bird, an unused bird that was later repurposed for Majora's Mask.

ovl_En_Lightbox

Actor Object
007C 0081

This actor is linked to object_lightbox, a large rectangular block that makes a thrumming noise. The sides will light up (aside from the top or bottom) when struck with the sword or boomerang.

ovl_En_Pu_box

Actor Object
007D 0082

This actor is linked to object_pu_box, a small stone cube. It appears to behave similarly to Lightbox in that it will light up when struck by the sword or boomerang, though this is slightly harder to see. Unlike Lightbox, the top will react to being hit.

ovl_En_Arow_Trap

Actor Object
0081 0001

An unused trap that reflects arrows.

ovl_En_Vase

Actor Object
0082 0086

This actor is linked to object_vase, an unfinished, orange-hued pot.

ovl_Demo_Tre_Lgt

Actor Object
00AA 000E

Specifically: Is this actually unused, or just loaded by something else?

ovl_Bg_Mori_Hashigo

Actor Object
00E2 0072

This actor is linked to object_mori_objects, which contains objects used in the Forest Temple. Trying to load it in-game results in a freeze. Its name translates to "object_Bg_Forest_Ladder".

Elementary, my dear Cactus.

ovl_Item_Shield

OoT AltSceneSetup-KokiriForest-ovlItemShield.png
Actor Object
00EE 0015

This collectable Deku Shield actor is only present in three Kokiri Forest cutscene setups. While it is loaded and visible in-game, one can only view it by using a Walk In Cutscenes code. In addition, because setup 08 and setup 09 aren't used, one must use codes or the Map Select function of the Debug ROM to even view these cutscenes.

Map Setup Room Setup ID Used Quantity
Kokiri Forest 07 00 The Deku Tree Speaks With Navi 1
Kokiri Forest 08 01 Panning Through Kokiri Forest 2
Kokiri Forest 09 01 Panning Through Kokiri Forest 2 2

Within the cutscenes, the shield exhibits an interesting behaviour similar to the Ordon Shield one must knock down in Twilight Princess. When hit with the Slingshot, the shield will jump, as though knocked off a wall or shelf, then drop to the ground and remain for a few seconds before flickering and disappearing.

ovl_En_Dns

OoT-A-011A-V-0000.png
Actor Object
011A 0168

While unused, this actor is linked to a used object, object_shopnuts, which contains the Business Scrub. In the retail game, the used Business Scrub actor is known as ovl_En_Shopnuts.

ovl_En_Dns is short for "Deku Nuts Seller". "Deku Nuts" is the Japanese name for Deku Scrubs.

When loaded in-game, it is revealed to be a Business Scrub who has already surrendered, without the player needing to reflect its projectiles, first. It offers to sell Link 5 Deku Nuts for 20 rupees.

ovl_Obj_Ice_Poly

Actor Object
011E 0001

This actor's name indicates that it has something to do with ice.

Elementary, my dear Cactus.
This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: Is this actor really unused, or just loaded by something else?

ovl_Obj_Elevator

Actor Object
012B 011B

This actor is linked to object_d_elevator, an unused stone elevator.

ovl_En_Ex_Ruppy

Actor Object
0131 0001

These rupees explode when you come near them, making for a rather nasty surprise. One variant is a huge purple rupee which explodes in a huge explosion, the other variant is a small red rupee. These objects were most likely supposed to be traps of some sort. ???

ovl_En_Nwc

Actor Object
0135 0124

This actor is linked to object_nwc, the unused baby Cucco object.

ovl_Item_Inbox

Actor Object
0137 0001

This actor's name indicates that it is connected to items found in treasure chests.

Elementary, my dear Cactus.
This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: Is this actor really unused, or just loaded by something else?

ovl_En_Sda

LoZOoT-Prerelease-1996 LinkEnters.jpg
Actor Object
013A 0001

There's a dynamic shadow attribute. It is seen in early screenshots and videos and can be seen in the final game utilized by signs that can be cut. It is also used during the final battles with Ganondorf and Ganon, both on the bosses and the Master Sword, when Ganon knocks it out of Link's hands.

ovl_En_Clear_Tag

Do a barrel roll!
Actor Object
013B 0001

This famous spaceship from the Star Fox series was used by the developers to model Volvagia's flying animations.

When Link enters a map in which an Arwing is loaded, an animation plays depicting it flying around and doing a barrel roll. It acts as an enemy, firing at Link with its laser beams. It can be vanquished with three Slingshot hits, or the Boomerang. Upon defeat, it will crash and explode in a huge mass of flaming debris.

Within ovl_player_actor there is a routine that spawns an Arwing at coordinates (0, 100, 0) relative to Link's position. This routine is located after a sequence of code used to determine whether a chest should award an item, or freeze Link, suggesting that the Arwing may have once spawned when opening a chest at one point.

Elementary, my dear Cactus.
This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: Can it really be triggered via a trap chest, as speculated upon in this article?

ovl_En_Bom_Bowl_Pit

Actor Object
014C 0001

This actor's name indicates that it is connected to the Bombchu Bowling minigame.

Elementary, my dear Cactus.
This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: Is this actor really unused, or just loaded by something else?

ovl_En_Go

Actor Object
0152 00C9

While unused, this actor is linked to a used object, object_oF1d_map, which contains the Goron. In the retail game, the used Goron actor is known as ovl_En_Go2.

Hmmm...
To do:
Load this actor in-game and see what happens.

ovl_En_Ex_Item

Actor Object
0168 0001
Elementary, my dear Cactus.
This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: Can this be loaded somehow?

ovl_En_Hintnuts

You must think I never saw a Deku Scrub before.
Actor Object
0192 0164

When loaded in-game, this actor is revealed to be a Deku Scrub who is having an identity crisis. When confronted, it squeaks the following:

"You finally woke up!

I'm Navi the fairy!
The Great Deku Tree asked
me to be your partner from

now on! Nice to meet you!"

It cannot be killed, or spoken to twice. It will stay in place indefinitely once the conversation is over.

ovl_En_Dnt_Jiji

Actor Object
01A2 0171
Elementary, my dear Cactus.
This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: Is this actually unused, or just loaded by something else?

ovl_En_Wall_Tubo

Actor Object
01BE 0001
Hmmm...
To do:
Load this actor in-game and see what happens.

ovl_Bg_Spot18_Futa

Actor Object
01C3 00AF

When loaded in-game, this actor is revealed to be the lid to the large, multifaceted vase statue in Goron City. Its filename translates to "lid".

Link must light all the torches on the first floor of Goron City to make it spin. Throwing a bomb into the spinning pot, and having it stop on the correct face, will reward Link with a Heart Piece. The pot is lidded when stationary, but the lid magically disappears when it begins to move.

Upon load, the unused lid actor drops from the sky, getting smaller and smaller on its descent until it disappears.

Unused Objects

object_human

OOT-object human.png
Actor Object
??? 0006

An NPC that appeared in Ocarina of Time screenshots from 1996. Nicknamed "Aria" by fans. Her model format is more similar to Super Mario 64's NPCs than those in Ocarina of Time.

Technical details here.

object_fire

OoT-Opening 2 NGO.jpg
OoT early fire.gif
Actor Object
??? 000F

An early flame animation with eight frames. This was originally used for the torches alongside the drawbridge at Hyrule Castle.

The fire effect used in the final game consists of two overlapping textures, a flame shape and a noise image. The noise image scrolls to create the illusion of flickering. This is less resource-intensive, and uses a longer animation loop.

object_oA1

TLOZ-OOT-MQP-Object oA1.png
Actor Object
??? 0023

An unused version of the man on the roof in Kakariko Village.

object_oB1

TLOZ-OOT-MQP-Object oA2.png
Actor Object
??? 00A2

An unused, untextured Zora. This object is present in a Chamber of Sages cutscene environment (Link Awakens in the Sacred Realm), but, because it lacks an actor, it isn't loaded by the game.

Hmmm...
To do:
Add the information about Sheik's old filename.

object_oE1

TLOZ-OOT-MQP-Object oE1.png
Actor Object
??? 0033

An unused version of Mido.

An unused Hylian woman.

object_oB4

TLOZ-OOT-MQP-Object oB4.png
Actor Object
??? 0045

An unused Hylian woman, visible in a trailer from 1998. She is seen standing in Kakariko Village in the trailer.

object_b_heart

Actor Object
??? 0049

This is a giant kind of Heart Container that should be used by actor ovl_Item_B_Heart, but does not have any connection despite the name. When spawned in the game, its texture emits an interesting motion effect.

object_oE3

Actor Object
??? 004B

An unused version of Saria, with slightly different sideburns and a shirt that buttons up the back. She can be seen in action performing some early animations, including the gesture depicted in a November, 1997 prerelease screenshot.

To do:
Add image.

object_oE5

OoT-Fado IGN.jpg
TLOZ-OOT-MQP-Womanwith3hands.png
Actor Object
??? 004E

An unused version of Fado. This character is one of three named Kokiri, along with Mido and Saria. While her name is never mentioned in-game, it was revealed on Ocarina of Time's official website. The site also describes how she and Mido were named after notes in the musical scale. (Do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti, and do.)

Her original model has dual Kokiri symbols on its breast. It can be seen in prerelease screenshots from November, 1997.

object_oE6

OoTMQ-Object0E6.png

OoT-Ganondorf Oct98.jpg
Actor Object
??? 0058

Though the unused soldiers are no longer present in the Castle Courtyard, they can be seen in this map in the screenshot at right, from October, 1998.

Hmmm...
To do:
Insert screenshot.

object_mjin_oka

OoTOcarinaPedestal.png
Actor Object
??? 0068
OoTOcarinaTexture.png

A song pedestal with an ocarina design. The appearance of the ocarina reflects an earlier stage of development when it would have been inlaid with the three Spiritual Stones.

This pedestal is present in several cutscene setups:

Map Setup Room Setup ID Used
Kokiri Forest 08 00 Panning Through Kokiri Forest
Kokiri Forest 09 00 Panning Through Kokiri Forest 2
Kokiri Forest 07 01 The Deku Tree Speaks With Navi
Kokiri Forest 08 01 Panning Through Kokiri Forest
Kokiri Forest 09 01 Panning Through Kokiri Forest 2
Sacred Forest Meadow 04 00 Learning the Minuet of Forest
Sacred Forest Meadow 05 00 Learning Saria's Song
Zora's Fountain 04 00 Receiving Zora's Sapphire
Zora's Fountain 05 00 Jabu-Jabu Inhales
Zora's Fountain 06 00 Credits in Zora's Fountain
Desert Colossus 04 00 Learning the Requiem of Spirit
Ganon's Castle Exterior 04 00 Sages Construct the Rainbow Bridge

However, it is only loaded and visible during gameplay in setup 05 and 06 of Zora's Fountain.

A contemporary fan account of playing the 1998 CBS Toy Test demo suggests that these pedestals were once used as song triggers, forcing Link to take out his Ocarina and displaying a musical staff when stepped on.

object_bird

Dad, there's a bird in the house!
Actor Object
0072 0077

This bird is present in Kokiri Forest setup 05, room 01 (Cutscene - The Deku Tree Tells of Ganondorf's Curse), but it is not loaded in-game. If loaded using GameShark codes, it flaps its wings, but remains stationary. It is also missing transparency.

The bird was repurposed for Majora's Mask, where it flies around the tree on the plains of the moon.

object_lightbox

OoTGiganticRectangle.png
Actor Object
007C 0081

A large rectangular block that makes a thrumming noise.

300px

object_pu_box

OoTStoneCube.png
Actor Object
007D 0082

A small stone cube. It has collision data, but cannot be picked up or Z-targeted. If hit with the sword, it sounds like Link is striking metal.

object_vase

Actor Object
0082 0086

This pot's design is based on the jars in A Link to the Past. Its rim lacks transparency, and it does not have any collision or associated behaviours.

object_medal

OoT-Light Medallion.jpg
Actor Object
??? 009F

Early versions of the elemental Medallions, reflecting their original colors. In the final game, the Spirit Medallion is orange, the Shadow Medallion is purple, and the Light Medallion is yellow.

object_gi_melody

Actor Object Variable
008C? 00B6 0008-000C
OoTMusicalNote.png

This music note was once a "GET" item, displayed when Link learned a new song. It is present in every cutscene setup where Link learns a melody from Sheik, save for the cutscene where Link learns the Nocturne of Shadow. Despite this, it is never visible in-game.

There is evidence that ovl_Demo_Kankyo was used at one point to display this music note. Starting at D45980 in the debug rom, there is a list of object dependencies for the different values of ovl_Demo_Kankyo's variable. At indexes 08-0C, object 00B6 is listed as a dependency. It's not known if the functionality to display the note still exists. The object has 6 color settings intended for warp songs.

An unused head for Mido.

Hmmm...
To do:

An unused head for the red-haired Kokiri boy.

Hmmm...
To do:
Insert screenshot.

object_oF1s

Actor Object
??? 00CF

An unused version of the Goron.

Hmmm...
To do:
Insert screenshot.

object_ny

Actor Object
??? 00E3

Oddly, Ocarina of Time appears to contain two Spike Trap objects known as object_ny: 00E3 and 00E5. (00E4 is dummied out.) Only 00E5 is used.

Hmmm...
To do:
Load this object in-game and see what happens. Insert screenshot.

object_gi_grass

OoT-Calling Epona NPS.jpg
Actor Object
??? 00F7
OoTReedWhistle.png

Link once used this reed whistle to call Epona, rather than using Epona's Song. This idea was revived in the form of the Horse Call item in Twilight Princess.

Link can be seen using this item in prerelease screenshots from April, 1998.

object_md

Actor Object
??? 00FA

Equally oddly, Ocarina of Time also appears to contain two Mido objects known as object_md: 00FA and 00FB. Only 00FB is used.

Hmmm...
To do:
Load this object in-game and see what happens. Insert screenshot.

object_d_elevator

OoTElevator.png
Actor Object
012B 011B

A large, 4-tiered stone elevator. While it went unused in the retail version of Ocarina of Time, it went on to appear in Master Quest.

Hmmm...
To do:
Get a better screenshot, investigate variables.

object_nwc

OOT BlueBall.png
Actor Object
0135 0124

These primitive-looking baby Cuccos were later revamped and repurposed for Majora's Mask, in which they are known by the filename object_En_Nwc. "nwc" translates to "chick".

The objects lack collision, which causes them to fall through the floor and into the void upon load. The object freeze function in the Debug ROM can be used to prevent this.

Hmmm...
To do:
Add info about Grog's shop.

object_gi_coin

OoTCoin.png
Actor Object
??? 012E

These mysterious, N-stamped coins come in four colors. The colors match that of the Rupees: green, blue, red, and gold. The "gi" within the file name suggests these coins were "Get Items", part of a specific set of models that appear over Link's head when first obtained.

object_gi_butterfly

THE LEGEND OF ZELDA 15 butterflycage.png
Actor Object
??? 0175

This object is similar to the container that holds the bugs sold in the Potion Shop. A butterfly is visible inside the cage.

With a little hacking trickery, the cage can be placed in a shop and purchased, but nothing will appear in Link's inventory.

The Butterfly Cage's object number is 0175, while the bottled bug's object number is 0174.

Because number 0068 is missing in the list of purchasable items, and number 0067 corresponds to the bug in a bottle, it's likely that this missing number once corresponded to the Butterfly Cage.

object_gi_ocarina_0

THE LEGEND OF ZELDA object gi ocarina 0.png
Actor Object
??? 010E

This object is a "Get Item" for the Fairy Ocarina, part of a set of models that appear over Link's head when he first obtains an item. However, in the final game, Link receives the Fairy Ocarina from Saria, triggering a unique cutscene in which the camera pans around Link holding the item. As a result, the "Get Item" sequence doesn't occur, and this detailed model is never used.

There is still data in Link's actor, ovl_player_actor, that anticipates him obtaining the Fairy Ocarina like a "Get Item". However, the text box displayed upon receiving this ocarina is the "Get" message for the Ocarina of Time.

Unused Variables

ovl_en_item00

Actor Object Variable
0015 0001 0007

An early version of the Heart Container. Unlike the final container, it is almost completely opaque and does not have any animations. However, it acts as a normal Heart Container when collected.

This version of the container actually appears in Room 119 of the Debug ROM, but cannot be accessed without a GameShark code in the retail version of the game.

Owing to the similarities between their names, it is likely that the actor for this object was originally ovl_Item_B_Heart. In the retail game, actor ovl_Item_B_Heart goes unused, but it is linked to a used object called object_gi_hearts, which contains the final Heart Piece and Heart Container. There are two copy this model in gameplay_keep file.

ovl_En_Test

0000

Loz oot invis stalfos.png
Actor Object Variable
0002 0032 0000

Variable 0000 is an invisible Stalfos that can only be seen with the Lens of Truth.

Hmmm...
To do:
Double check variable number.

ovl_En_Door

FFFF

Oot double doors.png
Actor Object Variable
0009 0001 FFFF

Double wooden doors exist in the game. They work perfectly fine, but are not used. There are a few variations;

  • Double wooden door, but door on left is locked
  • Double wooden door, appears only if you face one side of it, crashes when try to open
Hmmm...
To do:
Double check variable number.

xxxx

Actor Object Variable
0009 0001 xxxx

This door is slightly ajar, but slams shut of its own volition when Link approaches it. If Link tries to open it, a message box with blue Navi text appears, reading "It won't open!"

This doors may have been present in the 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.

ovl_Bg_Dy_Yoseizo

xxxx

OoT Early Great Fairy.png
Actor Object Variable
000B 000A xxxx

An unused version of the Great Fairy. It is stationary and has no animations. Its lack of movement may be linked to its filename, Dy_Yoseizo, which translates to Great Fairy - Fairy Statue.

ovl_En_Dodongo

xxxx

Actor Object Variable
0012 000C xxxx

This alternate version of the adult Dodongo has smoke and fire come from its mouth during the death animation.

Hmmm...

Figure out what variable this is, insert screenshot.

ovl_En_Goma

0008

Loz oot invis ghoma larva.png
Actor Object Variable
002B 001E 0008

This Gohma Larva comes in an invisible egg that cannot be revealed, even with the Lens of Truth.

En_A_Obj

0000

2001: A Zelda Odyssey
Actor Object Variable
0039 0000 0000

Variable 0000 is a rectangular box with no behaviour or collision.

OoTLargeRectangletest.png

Interestingly, although Link cannot raise or throw it, if it were possible, it would fit perfectly in his hands and on his head.

0001

Still smaller than Xbox!
Actor Object Variable
0039 0000 0001

Variable 0001 is a slightly larger rectangular box with an oversized collision radius.

0002
