I'm feeling nostalgic for the Ocarina of Time that never was. Believe it or not, it was to be a much grander game than what we actually got curse you cartridge limitations! I always thought it was interesting that the shield changed quite a bit during development. This is a recreation of my favorite variation. If there's interest, I might make the others, of which there are at least two.

Tools used: Photoshop CS3 w/ Logitech optical mouse
Layers: 8
Creation time: 44 minutes

Yep, it makes one wonder what might have been. :)

That's the way it is with all the ideas for the Betas, all the unreleased, or canceled games. All we're left with is thoughts of what could have been, and what never will be, aren't we?

Some people have actually recreated this shield in rom hacks of Ocarina of Time, from what I've seen.

I quite like the design of the shield. Feels very old-skool.

Might help ya to look around the GCN forums for it, and you might be interested in the URA Expansion Project too ;)

Thanks again. URA expansion? Is that the recreation of the Zelda 64 beta? I thought it was canceled a year or two ago.

Nope. It's still going on. Progress is at 50% right now.

Because very little is known about how the real URA would have went, the team is taking a new direction. New dungeons and storyline (some based on dungeons cut from OoT during development), and new music too. Think of it as an "Ancient Stone Tablets" for Ocarina of Time.

You can read more about it here:

I entered an NPC Design contest for it a while back. I didn't winn as far as I know. 6 winners were picked, but one was dropped because of its submitter being banned. Zeth still hasn't revealed the winner.

That's awesome and thank you very much for the links. And here, I had given up home on seeing a fan recreation in the past. I tip my hat to those involved in the project. I'm sure it's not easy sifting through unused data in beta/retail ROMs to put something like this back together as best they can.
