Except there's credible evidence that the revisions to the music were done prior to the release of Ocarina of Time anywhere (don't wanna click the link summary: debug menu in every known version of OoT shows ROM completion dates prior to any release date of OoT anywhere in the world). However, unless somebody can interview Koji Kondo (or somebody else with intimate knowledge of the circumstances) and ask why the revision was made, we'll never know the real reason for the change.

The game lets you travel back to 1998.
Apologies if this has been posted on Gaf before, but a friend directed me to this; A compilation of Zelda tracks made in Mario Paint, blending seamlessly into each other, enjoyable stuff. 
Why would you do that?

I haven't thought about it until the other day, but I didn't realize OoT had so many Arab influences. The Gerudo are likely based on Arabians. The Gerudo symbol was a crescent moon - an Islamic symbol. And the Magic Carpet dude (a Gerudo man? Hmm...) is on a magic carpet, ala Arabian Nights. And of course, the Fire Temple chant thing.
Yeah, it's criminal that Nabooru's official art looks hideous compared to the way she does in game.From The Dust said:
I'm pretty sure it's a mix of that and the fact that Miyamoto is a lefty himself.demolitio said:

Supposedly Shigeru Miyamoto is ambidextrous. Link is ambidextrous (in terms of using a sword) in the first four Zelda games. He was first seen as strictly left-handed in Ocarina of Time. The crescent moon symbol is also not inherently Islamic.

No apologies necessary, that is fucking AWESOME.
I hadn't seen the College Humour skit of Link doing everything BUT defeating Ganondorf either... quite funny!

Also I haven't seen the inside of a 3DS box before, are they all 'vented' like that? Pretty cool.

My roommate still doesn't believe that is a reference to Michael Jordan because apparently he can't buy that anyone in Japan heard of Michael Jordan (in the 1990s, right?), especially anyone from Nintendo.

Yea, in the original Japanese text is says:
その順番は ２３１「ニイさんイチバン」だッピ
The order is...231 "Niisan ichiban".
According to the person who translated it:
ニイさんイチバン is a pun. The readings ニ, さん and イチ of the numbers 2,3 and 1 respectively put together can also be interpreted as 兄さん一番, meaning "Older brother is number one".

NOA Localization probably inserted the new line, but I wonder if somebody from NCL approved script changes or if NOA was free to change stuff as they sought fit.

they pretty much HAD to change it. I doubt NCL would have even have to think about that decision
Why would you do that? said:
Well then...This is how I become a Miyamoto fanboy.
I'd love to have a long documentary about how all these things came to be in OoT. Gerudo Valley did remind me of an Arabian theme. I'm glad I got an original copy with the awesome fire temple music.

Eh...Especially the way the Ocarina of Time logo appears...it's obvious they're trying to resemble the "epic" style of the 1998 commercials.

Holy God, that's great. Thanks for sharing.
Why would you do that?

I always thought Link was left handed in the old games. Looking at some sprites from Zelda 1 and 3, when you face up or down, he holds his shield in his right hand, suggesting he uses his left hand for the sword. But because Nintendo utilized the awesome power of sprite flipping, when he faces left and right, his hand magically changes. So maybe he was a lefty 3/4 of the time.TSA said:
I should look at the totally canon Zelda cartoon and see what hand he uses...
Also, I know it's not inherently Islamic, but because of everything else, I wouldn't be surprised if it was done with Islam on the mind.
Wow, that site is way more interesting to me than it should be, thanks.TSA said:

Are you suggesting they are one in the same? Because I know for a fact that Miyamoto is not Link, but he does know him.TSA said:

I was suggesting the "Link is a lefty because Miyamoto is a lefty" explanation might just be a myth.
BTW, just curious if there's any specific footage you guys want to see eventually before the release?
Well, the Shard of Agony sure looks more... Painful than the stone. Wouldn't want to sit on it, that's for sure!BY2K said:
Hey, they replaced the Stone of Agony with the Shard of Agony. Makes since considering it was useless unless you were using a Gamecube controller if you were playing the VC version.
Now it's only left to see if they updated the N64-era character portraits of Mario, Bowser, etc, in the castle courtyard windows (and yes, there are still windows, as can be seen in one screenshot of Link talking to Zelda).

They should replace them with the original OoT character models of Link and Zelda just to fuck with timeline obsessives.

They should have made the shard look like a small 3DS or even a stylus like how the stone of agony was a rumble pak but oh well.Neiteio said:
It would be funny if the Mario pics were replaced by odd characters like Captain Falcon and Olimar so a few people would likely start flipping out with theories of the pictures equaling returning franchises to the 3DS.
Also the guard that throws a bomb should update to a powder keg, filthy vandals!

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I don't think rumble ever worked in a emulated version, even if you were using a compatible controller.BY2K said:

Interesting shape for the object. Good to see new version of the Biggoron Sword, too.BY2K said:

Actually I think the GC versions did, IIRC I even turned mine off because the GC's rumble (and later the controller/s themselves) crapped out.Angry Grimace said:
I only have Wavebirds now.

You're saying that like it's a bad thing! heh.
I'm happy I have two of these, one of them still sealed in it's box:
From play-asia last year. Was bloody cheap too. And it's a really long cable!
edit: still on the site http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-23-49-en-70-2ola.html and £15 isn't bad at all IMO.

Yeah I'd love to get one of those.richisawesome said:
My controllers were from the GC launch so I have no idea if later manufactured controllers are more durable/have lasting rumble.
Hands on with (we assume) final code.
Mainly a retrospective look at the first game and how its changed, but might be interesting to anyone wanting more Zelda.
Can't wait for this.

TSA said:
heh another thing lost in translation. i wonder what other things were lost from the original script.
this does raise a question: in MQ, the numbers were changed to 3 1 2 but there was no scrub telling you anything about that. do those numbers have some meaning in the jp version?
