Ocarina of Time Versions: Difference between revisions

[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]] was originally released as a cartridge for the [[Nintendo 64]] in [[1998]]. The international release went through several revisions all the way up until days before it's full international release, and as a result the initial copies which sold during the first couple of months contains earlier revisions of the game than the copies which sold later on. Fan research has concluded that there exist at least three different international revsions, namely v1.0, v1.1 and v1.2.

This was the version which is equivalent to the Japanese version of the game. It's build date is 21st of October 1998; about one month before the game hit the shelves in the North America. Most (if not all) of the North Americal first-production-run copies of the game is of this version.

In [[2003]] the game was re-released on two different bonus disks for the GameCube, along with an alternate "Master Quest" edition of the game. This version was only compiled as a 60Hz version, but released in Europe and PAL territories taking use of the Europeian GameCube's PAL60 capabilities. It has some significant differences due to the reason that the game code being emulated, but some of the game itself is also changed. Most notably, the moon-star based Gerudo symbol has been replaced with the symbol used by the Gerudo-equivalent pirate tribe of Majora's Mask. Some colourization of different buttons has also been redone in order to match the GameCube controller, and the copyright date has been altered to include 2003.

The GCN version is considered the same as the Wii Virtual Console verision, but the colourization of the buttons has changed back to how they were in the N64 versions. There has been little research on these versions, so it's difficult to state other differences.

Based on v1.2, Ocarina of Time was released on the Wii console as a downloadable appliation. It could be played with a Classic Controller, or a Gamecube controller.
