After the original Zelda 64 Beta Restoration Project vanished into different internal issues in Team Beta Triforce, another team called “Forbidden Legends” is going to try to develop a mod / hack for Ocarina Of Time, in which to play some of the beta content that we all saw in the early screenshots and videos.
Here’s their description of this new OoT Beta Restoration:
We started when people started getting tired of being in the old TBT. They wanted to start a team of their own. A continuation of the old Beta Restoration Project really, but done differently. We allow anyone to work on it. It’s also not strictly beta; we will throw in many things not beta-related, beta is just a theme mostly. We do all of our work in #z64sanctuary on irc.shoutwiki.com, no forums.
About the game, it starts out in Link’s Uncle’s house. His uncle has to leave to the castle. Soon Link leaves the house and is now in Castle Town. After going to the castle, the rest of the journey sets out, which isn’t public yet.
Team Members:
- SirTopHat (webmaster/programmer/ modeller)
- Flotonic (modder/modeller)
- Twilight14 (hacker/modder/modeller/programmer)
- Mikeunt (modeller)
- CDi-Fails (story/website design)
- Deathnight114 (music)
- Dark-Link77 (hacking/modding)
- spinout (best hacker/modder/programmer)

We wish them good luck!

The beginning sounds allot like A Link To The Past :P

Most likely because beta OOT was supposed to be a 3D remake of it? :P
Actually, there were things from ALttP reused.
Yep, there were things reused. Here’s an example: Turtle Rock.
I was wondering what happened to TBT when I went away, hope everything turns out right this time around!
We aren’t TBT, but merely another team that is hoping to make another restoration.
Yeah, TBTs restoration and FLs restoration are merely diffrent(though some members have some work of the former TBT).
Beside that this team is nothing more then a bunch of thieves building off work from others that did not give them permission to use for starters. Their nothing more then a joke in hacking, their team couldn’t hack their way outside of a paper bag. spinout is not on their team which he has stated himself, nor is DL77, he has given them advice/helped them out with problems, he’s not a team member though. Furthermore none of the other team members can’t hack except flotonic, the rest don’t really know the first thing about it. Also stating more real facts, all of them are using tools that use cmd prompt input, apparently that is “hacking” to them.
Also
@unseen64 staff – Do you just let any nooby have a project entry on here that wants to play beta with no “real” talent? Seriously if you think those screenshots look good, please burn out your retinas.
@REAL_HACKER: naa, we just report news about the “unseen beta world”, it’s our “work”: it does not matter if the project will be finished or not, it’s a news! :)

First of all, we aren’t doing any of this in CMD, wish spinouts tools, and sirtophat, twilight14, AND flotonic are all excellent hackers. most of this is actually being done in hex i believe.
There would be no way for us to complete this, if we only used spinouts tools.
Zeth, why? We’ve appreciated your hacks, so just do the same for ours.
@ CDi-Fails: How did you know he’s Zeth :O
Lol, He’s the only one that hates the project :P
Thieves, eh? I remember ZM90 saying somewhere that all the old material was free for somebody to use on another project. I’m pretty sure we said on the site that we were using the old TBT’s work, so it’s not like we didn’t credit them. And a good number of us were members of that old TBT, so a lot of it is work we made ourselves in the first place, anyway, and I highly doubt anybody is going to care if their work is being used.
Ok, I think I can say we’re most likely not making an entire game with a story and everything, we just restore bits of beta when we can.
Of course it’s nothing like the Beta OoT, there was no “beta OoT” as a full game. The rumors and fake screenshots and etc. that have surrounded beta screenshots for all of those years are worth making a mod after, to me at least.
It’s just that the mods purpose is to restore the original beta content for players to use and explore. Like the beta items and dungeons, for example. I know it’s kinda awkward to those who think diffrently because the BRP had its own problems in the past. But i always thought that this BRP the’re working on is kinda diffrent from TBT’s BRP :P
I apologize for SirTopHat being a total jerk and trying to take over this whole project by letting the site be linked to other sites like Wareya’s, so don’t let what he does bother you.
THIS PROJECT IS NOT GONNA BE FINISHED. Flotonic and I quit, it’s impossible, STH and Wareya don’t have the balls or knowledge to do it. Fuck it all it’s over
Can you at least give us what you have done so far?
NikoPunk, there was none really, it was just some maps and a beta HUD
Yup, he told me “It can’t be done, we don’t have an exact source or the right tools”
Reasons:
1. Not enough Team Members with good talent(CDi-Fails and Flo were the only good ones).
2.Because Flo quitted :P
