Old Brazillian VHS tape reveals new/updated/unseen beta footage from Zelda: Ocarina of time
- Thread starter Lua
- Start date
I'm surprised they showed pretty much every single boss in the prerelease footage. I think the only ones they missed were Barinade and Bongo Bongo
I think I still have somewhere the incomplete strategy guide (up to Jabu-Jabu's belly iirc) that came with my copy. The game came in a big box just to accommodate the guide lol.
é nintendo ou nada xD
yeah it also impressed me how the tape spoils the big twist =O

I mean, the video reveal bosses, temples, items and even bosses' deaths. It shows everything.
More like all you needed to do was whisyling, no?
The icon shows some grass that link blows on to whistle I think. I assume it's an item.
Just to give a little context (I ripped the footage for the channel and I also was the original owner of the VHS): yes, it was a pre-order bonus from Blockbuster in São Paulo and yes, the video was given before launch.
I don't remember the exact date, but it was around October (1998), and I got the game from the store in November or December. I watched this tape over and over, but I never thought that what was shown on it was "rare". I thought that other promotional materials had this same material already, mainly in the USA. However, the guys from the channel came to me and wanted the tape. So there it is.
Even with all this footage, I didn't feel spoiled. I was still stuck on how to get into the Fire Temple and, of course, the Water Temple. And I was 10 at the time.

In fact, if you are curious to know what the narrator speaks in Portuguese, here is an English translation:
"It all began long time ago"
"In a world not far away"
"There was a boy"
"An eternal battle between good and evil"
"And a dream"
The legend of the mysterious princess
And a force from darkness that only the boy could stop
And now, the legend continues
Enriched by the mystic and impressive power of the Nintendo 64
Come see (witness) The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
In a world where evil threatened everyone
The young Link and his guardian fairy began a journey
He must fight unimaginable creatures
And seek the three stones that will help him to save the kingdom of Hyrule
This story was never told with the strength and power of the Nintendo 64
And this legend never entered this time dimension
Therefore, the young Link wakes up and discovers that he became a man
And even if he discovers the secret of his birth
His journey must go on
Through trials of fire and water
Spells and magic
Finally, he will face his biggest challenge
To stop the evil Ganon curse his people forever
Only a designer could create this legendary series
Only one platform has the epic power of the 3D with 64-bit real time
Only a entertainment giant could bring all of this to your home
Get ready for the most awaited game of the new generation
because nintendo is bringing The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
In the end of the year for the Nintendo 64 platforms all around the world
The legend continues...

Everything behind this game will never stop being fascinating to me. Even minor changes such as musical notes and phantom ganon's painting merge. Perhaps it's rose tinted glasses and the age I was when it came out, or the fact it was so groundbreaking. Thanks for posting this!
Game looks fairly finished there. I wonder how close to release some of that stuff was changed/cut. Being able to walk while using your sword is cool.
Nossa senhora. Eu ainda me lembro quando o dollar passou os 3$ e todo o mundo entrou em panico.
This is something I don't understand why they've gone back on since TP.
In SS, I guess I could see why with the motion combat. But in BotW, Link is already so slow compared to most enemies, giving him more mobility in combat would have made it feel so much better, imo.
Sdds qdo paguei esse exato valor na versão física no lançamento de MVC3 special edition aaaa
I vividly remember the first time the dollar crossed the R$ 2 threshold, and that was fucking mind-blowing.
We were young and naive.
Lol at that alpha yell that young link shouted when falling in the hole
Pt-br
Pera, se fala rirule ao invés de rairule? É isso mesmo produção?

The problem is that regional pricing is fucked
Pirate Warriors 4 at Steam = R$ 159,00
PSN/Switch/Live = R$ 250,00
We actually call it the "Nintendo meia-quatro". The "meia" comes from "meia-dúzia", which translates to "half a dozen" =).
Fuck that.
I miss rental stores from the 90's...
Dez-Doze reais por um fim de semana...
