Oh yeah, that leaf-looking thing is equally mysterious. At least the shell might be bombchus, but I have no idea what that one is.

wait it's obviously magic bean smh

Apparently not!!!!! https://t.co/BsKGaR2SRS

I think it\u2019s the reed whistle thing that was used to call Epona pic.twitter.com/2c4zpFoPZh

Some item/place names that I can't read.

YO THERE'S TEXT IN THE OVERDUMP https://t.co/jIBT1yGZsk

The names and effects of the items explained!

And this is Huge -- the effect of the lost Magic Spells explained!!!!!

So it seems the Light medallion is an attack that works similarly to Light Arrows in the final game, but with a larger range.
(As predicted: https://t.co/lzZ9vIdRhl)

In fact, we know that Zelda used to give you the light medallion when you meet her: https://t.co/K518iSTKeQ

Oh, actually, the damage charts contain entries for four out of six magic spells - only Forest/Wind (Farore's Wind) and Spirit/Soul (Nayru's Love) are missing.

Seems that the other four were all meant to be offensive spells, but they cut things down and kept only Din's Fire. pic.twitter.com/G2lr5J22x7

Dark (Shadow) medallion allows you to evade enemies without them seeing you, like the Stone Mask in Majora.

But, based on internal filenames (Magic_Dark) and the medallion design, I believe it had the visual effect of Nayru's Love (albeit maybe not in blue).

But of course the most shocking is that the soul (spirit) medallion was meant to turn you into Navi and fly around.

This is the same effect as a spell in Zelda II, but way more complicated to implement in a 3D game. I doubt they got very far with implementing it.

...though they eventually used a similar idea in Wind Waker, with Hyoi Pears letting you control seagulls.

(By the way, again going by internal names, the Soul medallion SFX was repurposed for Nayru's Love. So that spell was created from the pieces of multiple other cut ones.)

Despite fitting into the ocarina, the spiritual stones have their same name.

Heart pieces come in groups of 8 instead of 4.

Some things available for purchase. Anyone want some eggs?

There's an inn in castle town, for switching night and day(?). Would have been nice to keep that one, really.

"Hebra mountain" in LTTP was the light world equivalent of "Death mountain" in the dark world.

Apparently in OoT one was a nickname for the other.

(Then, oddly, BotW reused the name as an entirely different, icy mountain. I guess things like that happen in real life too.)

Some subtle changes to the child plot, not sure if this is precisely accurate but it seems about right. https://t.co/mdvmxe8PZf

I don't think you had any ocarina as child at this point in development, so I guess her Letter was used as a key for more guards?

This is so fascinating. It seems to be bits of the story before it was rewritten. Zelda didn't know how to enter the ToT and had to look it up in the library while Link found the 2 stones. Playing the prelude of light with the stones would let you enter. Cont...

As documented in prior leaks, the door of time will no longer open after you become an adult.

And that point seems to be the end of the text available in this rom! Seems to include the essential child areas and NPCs up until becoming adult. The only thing after that is Spaceworld demo text.
