One particular area that stands out from the renders is this wood-themed dungeon. There is, nonetheless, a tonne of unused/unrecognizable assets and maps in the dump that is hard to put a finger on where they came from or what their purpose was. User ShimmerFairy ripped a sheet of early icons from the overdump, giving us a proper look at the world that couldвЂ™ve been with different quantity counters, early Spiritual Stones and early Hookshot - and even a blue shell cameo.ДЄ shorter pathway to Hyrule Castle, a variation of the Deku Tree trunk and a different Temple of Time layout are puzzle pieces easy to spot and fit in. (Image: gist of it is the dump is composed of early builds of the Temples and Overworld areas and scrapped sprites and designs of LinkвЂ™s inventory.ДЄn unfinished Kakariko Village, as shown above, demonstrates either a dumped version of the town or how early in development Ocarina of Time really was during the development of F-Zero X.

Programmer and ROM Hacker Twitter user posted an extensive thread with his findings after Forest of Illusions released the overdump for download to their website. It ended up being the final build, but just happened to have the old Zelda data on it which was half wipedвЂќ, togomet2 added.ДЄs to how the F-Zero X prototype cartridge was obtained, Forest of Illusion confirms most of the cartridges are bought from auctions or collectors but this one was purchased directly from a former Nintendo employee. At the time, we were just expecting it to be the final build of F-zero X and nothing else. вЂњWe had no idea that there would be early Zelda data in the cartridge.

While the decision to purchase the F-Zero X prototype cartridge was made entirely on the fact it was a part of their preservation project, the fact it contained beta assets from an early version of Ocarina of Time was one of those beautiful accidents of fate. He later explained how this data can then be played back using either emulators or flash cartridges on real hardware rather than needing the original prototype cartridge. Talking to togomet2, we are able to define a dump as вЂњdata that is extracted from the cartridge itself using a set of specialized tools.вЂќ
