I really liked it the first time I saw it. Some animations are diferent from ocarina of time but sword combat movements are great.

It's quite strange but I really would like to play that version. Link can even jump.

Here is the link.

the real version is better. the beta isnt as fun as youd think.

How do you know? Have you played it? I really appreciate the way a good game evolves until it reaches its final version, and this is a very good proof of that.

lol no i havent played it. i was just talking out of my ass. sorry nobody is coming into your thread though =[.

but yea, i saw him do the upstab move from zelda two. that shit was pretty cool.

there is a recompiled rom of the beta floating around the net. i used to have it.

Do you know how hard it was to find this footage and even screenshots in the pre-YouTube era?

I would spend hours just looking for information. Eventually, I found all of it. And by that time, YouTube was around so it didn't matter.

N64.com used to have lots of screens. Aaaah... the pre-IGN times.

It didn't have the subtitle Ocarina of Time yet. First time I saw that I haven't played a Zelda game in my whole life and didn't know how the game was like ( indeed I thought it would be similar to Mario 64).

Ah the actual pre-internet times...it was awesome. Not knowing anything from the title resulted in such awesome surprises. I'm kinda inclined to not watch any Zelda trailer or review untill the game comes out just to see if I'm as surprised again.

Really? So next E3 Nintendo show the first trailer of Zelda Wii and you are capable of not watching it? That's amazing, it would be imposible for me!
