[Projects] Zelda: Ocarina of Time Beta Restoration [UPDATE 23/09/2012]

I had been watching this for a while about a year or so ago, it looks really awesome. Nice work guys!

I would be more than happy to be a Beta Tester!

do you have a website that shows periodic updates?

No offense to the team or anything, but I don’t really see the point in these beta remakes, there’s nothing new to discover and it just seems like a waste of effort. Real prototypes are much more interesting.

Jaz, the beta version of Ocarina of Time had so many desired things that were eventually dropped. Plus plenty of mystery behind it. Players want to know what it was like, and we’re doing our best to recreate it.

I havent even heard of some of these things like the fishing rod or all of those temples.This is just a really amazing project,I just have a question.
How are you going to restore all of these things,I mean….If all of this was on the origional game file,wouldnt people be able to make a gameshark code to be able to use it or something?
Sorry if I sound stupid but this is just something right out of my imagination! I know that it is soo to the very extent extream to ever be able to play the origional version(or as much of it)
Just amazing,I cant wait for this to be done and I hope you guys dont drop the project.

sounds awesome guys, although it does sound like a completely different game with all the stuff you guys are adding.

This sounds so awesome! Please tell me you guys have a site or something that I could check for updates. By the way, this will be released by a ROM right? I can’t wait to play this, and who knows: maybe Nintendo will see your final product and work on th actual beta (though thats’ highly unlikely) I literally can’t wait to play in the Beta Lost Woods, it looks so cool!!! Oh, and one last question: will you guys be taking some maps straight from a OOT ROM to save time or is everything going to be made from scratch? (like taking the stalfos room buried in OOT) Thanks!

Basically how you will get the mod is you will download the rom, and simply boot it up. All modifications will be injected directly into the rom, and all interface and attack modifications will be built-in, so no code is neccesary. We want to make this as user-friendly as possible so it’s easier to just hop right in an play the game. We’re also making it so no cheats can be used on the rom, and that it will not be compatible with Utility of Time, or any opther modding software. This is because we want our work to stay secure. Hope this clears up some questions!

:-O
Oh my god! I am so overwhelmed by the work you’re doing! It’s just that all those things are so mysterious and fascinating to me (especially the Wind and Ice Temple)… ha! Who would have thought that? Not two hours ago I was telling myself: “It existed but now it’s gone, you’re never gonna see it!” And now that. Brilliant :D
Just one question: For how long have you been working on it and how long is it gonna take to finish? (well, maybe that makes two questions.)
Man, I just keep looking and looking at the posts’s dates to see whether that project was not abandoned years ago but it wasn’t and that’s just great.
Thank you, really.

2010………….damn…………at least I already know it’s
going to be worth it :P But,another question…is like,the beginning animations or starting points or missions different in any way?

I usually go to N64 Projects to see updates, but they kinda murdered the forums so… >.>

So, do you guys plan on making a trailer of some sort? If you are when will it be released? I’m really interested in this project.

FRED, it won’t exactly be a trailer, but a video showing a specific area. We’ll have a few trailers, but only for special things. Such as a trailer for the public demo (releasing next year) or the launch trailer which will come out a few days before release (But we’re not even thinking about that right now)
Hope this cleared some stuff up.

Yes, plenty. Zeth, who’s our Beta NPC restorer is restoring beta kokiri models, the reed whistle, and many other things. We’re also getting the beta link model (shown in the center of our team symbol). Sages, however, we don’t have data for what their models looked like. So no. Hope this cleared everything up.

What about the having swords assigned to the c buttons?
Like in some of the beta screens it shows a big sword where the bottom C button is and a smaller sword on the top where navi’s icon usually is.
Are you guys able to restor that too? And if so,what is it for exactly?

You mean similiar to the Wii version of Twilight Princess? (you can equip items to the D-pad directions and B, but can only use it if its on B)

What will the medallions be used for?
And I get it now,that isnt the top C button its the
origional placement of the A button :P
And what sword is that on the bottom C button?
I love what you did with that graveyard restoration and
I really want to see the dungeon under the beta grave

aah I hate you!
Could you have made that video only a little bit more irritating? :D I so wanna see everything now.

Nice! Good thing you’ve gotten this far since I directed you from Z64 to N64projects ZM90! :D

Keep it fresh, peace out.

Hey Jani. You just popped out of nowhere. You should come to teambetatriforce.freeforums.org it’d awesome to have the person who got me started on modding here. Anyway I hope you come to Team Beta Triforce forums. Peace out Jani.

Thanks plotze!… I think… Anyway, It’s nice to see people being enthusiastic about the mod. We’ll get to the beta tomb later on. The next video will be Hyrule Castle dungeon, so you can look forward to that.

The unicorn fountain wasn’t in the A+C beta, and was not even very interesting. It was just a fairy fountain, except the fairy came out of a glass triangle formed by unicorns. Fairy Fountains will be in the game, but they will be similiar to “A link to the past” fairy fountains.

Have some hope, the restoration team is formed by great Beta Zelda Fans, probably they want to play and finish this even more than everyone else ;)

Keep in mind that their target time is to finish this for 2010, so it’s not something that is going to keep them busy everyday. Real life will have it’s time to flown, between the moments for the Beta Restoration. If their passion for Zelda will remains, then the project will continue.. or so i hope :)

This is so freakin ausome, i have some questions though.

When you guys finish making this will i have to pay to be able to play it? Also how exactley would i be able to play it, would i use an emulater or something like that?

This looks very, very promising. I can’t wait to see the finished result :D For the past… I dunno, we’ll say few years, I’ve been baffled and confused by Beta Zelda 64. I was just giving up hope and then I found this :) I would like to say good luck to the whole team working on this, and thanks for taking the time to do this.

Q: So what kind of new gear is available for use?

A: We’re trying to not spoil that too much.

Q: Are any medallions like bombos, ether, or quake?

A: We’re not going to spoil the medallion effects for you wait until you play the mod to see ;)

Q:You’ve mentioned the medallions (are any like bombos, ether, or quake?) the whistle, bomb arrows and fishing rod, which I assume are like the twilight princess versions, but are there any other items?

A:Yes they’re like the ones in Twilight Princess and yes there are new items we haven’t told you about.

Q:You mentioned a number of beta dungeons. Are these added on in addition to the already existing dungeons, or do you have betas for them as well?

A: Some dungeons will be modified back into their beta forms, other dungeons will be removed and other dungeons will be created from scratch.

Q:You mentioned a sword? Is it like any other sword from the series like the Golden Sword from LTTP?

A: You have your starter sword, the Master Sword, and the Biggorn Sword although the Master Sword will be different than what you normally expect. I’ll give all of you a hint. Think of Wind Waker.

Q:Is it true you might be able to bring back the LTTP sword beams?

A: Yes we are bringing back the removed sword beam.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

Thanks a lot. I can’t wait until you guys finish this. Isupport it, %100!

Q: Are there gona be any story changes along with the new look?

A:http://tbtwiki.spinout182.com/index.php?title=Zelda64

No thanks FullMetalMC. As we already have info from a NoJ employee which is better than Cen’s info. Which is what the information in the wiki is based off of. Hey Monokoma knows the contact is real too. Just ask him. ;)

sorry didn’t read all of it.(really sorry)

Only less than a year left…..(hopefully)

For those of you who visit the official TBT site. The forums are currently down due to the worst attack on the forums to date. The forums should be back up once spinout returns which should be next week.

I believe that it will be released this year as long as we keep progress at this rate. I mean we’re pouring out new areas almost daily.

Culd U relez wht u have dun so far?Plz
:{

Hello guys ^_^ first of: great work! I’ve always wondered how the beta game would’ve looked like… and that exactly my question:

How do you the flow of the original story plot? The events that would’ve occurred? U got some files hacked directly from nintendo? I’m pretty curious, because i followed the nintendo 64 life cycle from his starts, and by doing so even the zelda 64 development from his 64dd roots. But as far as i knew, there is any trace of the old story on any of the article i read on my ooold magazines..
8) and about the old dungeons here’s another question:

How do you know their gameplay concepts, together with their puzzles? Or are u going to draw em from scratches? ^_^

Thank for your answer, you guys are great 8)

Monokoma that story isn’t the story from dev period we are restoring. The story that will be in the OoTBRP is.

Link lived in the castle town with his uncle and is summoned by princess Zelda via her telepathic powers. He goes to the castle and finds Zelda before she is imprisoned. Link must defeat all the monsters within the temples than go back to the castle releasing each seal before continuing to the next temple. The Triforce is hidden within the Temple of Light which is accessed via the Hall of Time.

Thanks for the clarification ZM90! :)

Hay una persona en youtube que tiene el Zelda Ura en Rom tal vez les pueda servir para agregarselo al proyecto ya que por lo que entiendo muchas cosas que salrian en Beta salieron en Ura entonces…………

ESE ES UNO DE SUS VIDEOS ;)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChDyX3L06UI

I have a question but i hope it doesnt sound stupid. On various websites i read rumors that you can get the triforce in the beta mode. Is that gonna be possible?

I agree. That would be awesome!

Hey guys, I just wanted to say thanks for taking on this monster of a project!

What model for Link are you using, the model that is brown hair and slightly more cartoon looking?

oh..and one more question…this game is going to be in english right? (mainly cause this site is not all english)

My heart just stopped…

Here’s a good questn… will you guys be releasing a partial patch at any time? cus im learning/starting my own beta restoration on a game, but i cant figure out a couple things

Sad…i hope that one day the current state will be released…

Probably the videos were removed because they were on the channel of former TBT members.. for the news date, i’ll add a date when we’ll have some updates, for now it’s still unknown when we’ll have more info about this project

I have code for the beta shadow temple,the ice temple,and the fire temple so email me to get more info… I have info for beta oot temples

I…. I am going to cry…..

can someone pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee

k, so the videos dont exist, i doubt they ever did, theres no zelda beta test, so why not just take this gay post off? obviously your not restoring the old beta, or else youd have proof, know what your’re talking about, have videos that EXISTED, and youd have the game done and up for download (why? because Nintendo, like every other game company, has what they call an “Archival Vault”, which has copies of all test versions, pilot versions, and final versions of any game that went through them, and cartridge games have all been released to the public on the internet since)

SO!

either your dumb as shit making up some fake story, or your trying to take credit for something you had NOOOO part in.

Guys, I know a guy that worked for this *Flotonic*, and he said all the members resigned, causing the BRP to be stopped

Yes, Flotonic was in the BRP and when TBT moved to the Zelda Informer forums, the members resigned due to lack of progression

Sorry for the double post, but i also heard that Flotonic was one of the fallouts the had with the TBT members.

Yay the restoration of the beta Kokiri restoration video.

np

oh and i never get to talk to you on youtube but thanks for the sub ^_^

Interesting, thanks for the link Eggt0n23! I really hope that someone will be able to finish this hack in the future

@Monokoma – Would you please remove the video from this page? My restorations of Fado and other kokiri had nothing to do with the BRP. They were my own restorations separate from the project. Much thanks.

Good thing the URA project will be 20 times more efficient and time-worthy than this.

..Ok I got this but when i opened it, it said type in your name.
it won’t let mee!!!
if i click enter it’ll say “u didn’t type in a name”
how do i do this?!

I rather play the new Ocarina of Time 3DS remake, that for sure will have all the missing features, Dungeons, and Areas from both Ura Zelda and probably from Zelda 64.

i would be happy to help in this project

Hi. I restored the beta Link shield. What do you think?

ups i wrote wrong:

GUNS.. never.. shoot.. Goodbye..

@Champion Olivier: It’s fake, somebody modded OoT and changed the text.

We have to accept things and decision of other persons sometimes! Even if we wish to have their heart! I was very exited when i started reading the post dating 2008. Going down to 2010 was disappointing, really. But ladies and gentle mans… there many great artists who can make great fantasy adventure in the world! And there many project going on right now.

Let just wait for the great arts to me made!

Hope to play next adventure of Zelda very soon. Its the only game whos gonna take me back to gameplaying. Never been playing a game in two years! God damn. Though im 26 now and i have other ambition than playing very often. I have the childish mind into me, and The Legend Of Zelda with capital letter is in my heart forever! ;)

Ps: if you have some suggestion of 3d fantasy game adventuring including a young boy or girl. ill be glad to hear from ya. My email mathieularose22@hotmail.com

@Nico: It was never finished. At some point in time, it crashed and burned to the ground, even though I was anticipating this project myself back then. But there’s always the URA project to look forward to….

are you working on this project if you are when is it coming out

why is not coming out

how far did you get before it was cancelled and why do you caring on with it if you make this project come out it will be great

@All the users who are wondering why it(the TBT restoration) was cancelled: There were some internal troubles within the team; that was why it was cancelled. Sorry for the late comment though ^^’

Wow… they dissolved ?
So I guess the same kids who also let ZSO die now let this project die.
I wonder why they were even trying.

@Hardline Fan: He was talking about the URA project when he said that because some people started jumping to conclusions when he was gone for a few days. Sorry for the confusion.

@Octorok_17: That’s what I meant. Sorry, I should have been more specific when I started celebrating. XD

when will this be finished? cant wait for the new sword stuff

Everyone, do you know?

Can this project be posted in its own thread/page? TBT is not together neither is the work being posted via the youtube match ANYTHING what TBT was trying to put together.

When this project change a normal link to beta link?
