One Unused Idea in Every Zelda Game

Bolero was going to be used for the title screen, not for the overworld theme. The title screen music was so quick to compose because it was a variation on the already-composed, iconic main Zelda theme

Now we do have a Zelda Zelda game!

It is funny how people put so much into something in media when sometimes it just comes down to "oh I just felt like it" from some developer.

Or how comments made by some random marketer leads people to make theories there were never intended.

Or a simple miss translation can change things having people debating over years if something is true cause someone made a mistake.

did you see the Echos of Wisdom trailer forgets that it wasn't out as in trailered due to the date

What about Link’s crossbow training?

Great content as always, but Takehara wasn't the director of BotW, Fujibayashi was. Takehara was a lead artist.

Nintendo lost a perfect way to finally introduce a playable Zelda in Skyward Sword and, after, in Tears of the Kingdom. This really makes me sad.

Notice how Wand of Gamelon and Faces of Evil are not mentioned in this video. This is confirmation that they must have been the most complete Zelda games!

What about cadence of hyrule

The unicorn fountain is just a part of the URA Zelda, which was some sort of expansion pack for the Nintendo 64 DD.

song smacks

I bet the Link mask was what you needed to obtain to return to human form. Then whenever you put on a transformation mask, you'd get a Link mask in your inventory to help you transform back to human.

One of my favorite pieces of cut content was the Minish/Picori originally being in BOTW.

The real major cut feature of the Oracle games is the entire third game, Oracle of Secrets.

Twilight princess had a scrapped dungeon in the Twilight that was ment for only wolf link which would of been cool but it was scrapped for being to challenging concept wise which sucks

A playable Zelda in Skyward Sword? Nah, let's pad out the game for another 5 hours making Link collect musical notes, the S.O.B.'s 'll eat it up.

The legends of Zelda almost became a carnival game.

Every night I go to bed in fear of the twilight princess moblin

Could the unicorn fountain been like an Ocarina version of malanya and would have been some kind of customization for epona

No way they scrapped the dark realm dungeon in Spirit tracks, that dungeon would've been so fire...

So the moving the forest now makes a lot of sense with TotK. It's no longer a stretch. Been playing and thinking about some of these locations for a while.

botw’s temple of time is really the temple of Din. in Age of Calamity, you can see and explore all 3 of the plateau temples, representing each of the goddesses

I would’ve loved an underwater Goron civilization in Wind Waker… we do see in Twilight Princess that they don’t need to breathe air. perhaps they could’ve even been a secret civilization, with no one else in the world knowing they exist until Link discovers them?

One Link mask theory is it was adult link mask so u could play as an adult... however upgraded to great diety link

An unused idea for the final ganondorf boss was when after zelda and link escapes the castle qnd ganondorf burst out of the castle instead of turning into a demon bor named ganon he was going to turn into a literal giant and link needed to climb the giants back and hit its weak spot because of n64 power issue it was scarped

I just found your channel recently and absolutely love all the Zelda you have covered so far 🥰 I'm getting Tears this week and been watching your tips videos and I can't wait 😆 Keep up the epic work and thank you so much for putting in this amazing effort in every video 🎉🎉💜💜

I still long for a Zelda game where you can explore the depths of the ocean. Twilight Princess's Lake Hylia is the closest we've gotten to the experience

Bolero gets stuck in your head! I had to listen to it over and over when I helped edit a flash mob performance of Bolero.

Huh, this was very interesting, I wonder what other Unused Ideas there are?
Also, wasn’t the Theme you talked about at the beginning the same one used in the Original Japanese Version of the First Digimon Series?

Silly Zeltik, you missed multiple

I'm here to the Wind Waker cut dungeon.
awwwww, you didn't talk about it.

too fast !... each unused idea deserve it's own video, not just 50 seconds on a 15min video

The Majora's Mask content... it was actually intended to transform you BACK into Child Link. The original curse made a mask out of Child Link, which the Skulkid steals and turns into Child Link. He would have impersonated Link all through Termina, eventually leaving the mask with a particular boss about half-way through the game. The items you collect along the way are for when you get your Child Link form back. From the Deku you could also transform into other forms. Once the Child Link mask was obtained, you could set into the adventure proper with the weapons collected from dungeons. But with only a year or so to develop the game, this had to be severely condensed.

It would make sense if Kakiriko village was in the north then the plateau would of been also. Somewhere in the north nearer to the village.

Dude, everyone knows the water boots were going to turn link into water! He just turns into a puddle of water on the floor.

I was watching Dutch Bond Fan before it was cool!

someone’s probably already pointed this out but in Zelda 2, the graveyard battle area is used in a small portion of a graveyard which features what looks like to me flying eyeballs. Although it’s used no where else

also ganon used to be spelled with two Ns which is a lil weird

honestly without the classic zelda theme i feel like zelda wouldn't have sold as hot

Oddly enough, I kinda prefer the idea of swapping Kakariko with The Kokiri Forest - it seems odd that the Forest is so close to the barren wastes and heat of Death Mountain whereas it would make sense that trees would flourish by Zora's Domain, especially with the heavy rain and flooding. Fun food for thought thanks Zeltik!

Which the new context we have from TotK with parts of Hyrule raising up to the sky, suddenly Hyrule's shifting landscape makes some sense, the sky islands possibly get shuffled at some point in history?
