When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's the end of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D and you shouldn't have done that.

To do:

The baby Goron, regular Goron, and Goron Link's sleeping/shielding models have geometry and textures on the bottom, which you can't see in-game. Get pictures of this.

Developer Note

The texture haka_kabe_02 in hakaana2_0_info.zsi, whose file name suggests that it is used in the Beneath the Graves map, has 入口 (Entrance) handwritten on its border.

Memory Leak

Present in os/memory_leak.ctxb is this graphic saying that there is a memory leak.

Placeholder Bomber's Notebook Quest Map

Present in layout\map\genbamap\EU_English\000.ctxb (and all other language folders) is this image. The text translates to:

Investigating a case. There's no map yet. Sorry. ??? of ??

This suggests that the image is a placeholder for a Bomber's Notebook quest map.

Temporary Icon

Present in layout\Joker.gar called multi_dummy_tex.ctxb is this small icon that says KARI, or Temporary.

Dummy Map

For every scene that doesn't have a minimap, this map exists of Great Bay Temple with the floors viewed together. This can be seen, for example, by wrong warping to the giant's cutscene then voiding out.

Test Minimaps

These two minimap test images can be found in the Scenes directory.

Leftover OoT 3D Images

Deku Tree Saria

Two unused graphics which were used in the ending of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D are present in layout\Joker.Main.Ending.gar.

Leftover OoT 3D Menu Icons

Chinese Korean Taiwanese

Leftover graphics for the Chinese, Korean, and Taiwanese file select screens from Ocarina of Time 3D are present in menu\savadata_maintainer.

Full Heart Piece

In the same way it appeared in Ocarina of Time 3D, Majora's Mask 3D also features a full Piece of Heart stored in the file menu_collect_parts00.ctxb inside Joker.Main.Play.SubMenu.gar. It's obviously impossible to see this in-game.

Leftover OoT Moon

Inside zelda2_keep.gar.lzs is the file moon_model.cmb, which is a square with the moon texture seen in the original Ocarina of Time.

Anju's Grandmother's Stories

The two pieces of art used in Anju's Grandmother's story are in 3D this time around. To accomplish this, rather than use a static 3D picture, the game stores parts of the artwork in pieces and assembles them in-game. Some art pieces are obscured by other pieces as a result of this.

Carnival of Time (in-game) Carnival of Time (pieces stored separately)

Notice how the tower, the man with a red shirt and blue mask, and the built sign are all partially obscured.

Four Giants (in-game) Four Giants (pieces stored separately)

The right giant's left foot is obscured, along with the left giant's left foot, and part of the sun. The background mountains are also hidden from view.

Carnival of Time Background Four Giants Background

The backgrounds for the two pictures are also partially hidden. The Carnival of Time background is just black underneath, but the Four Giants' background has some hidden detail to it.

Early OoT icons

zelda2_dangeon_keep.gar.lzs still contains the models and textures for the early icons of the Kokiri Sword (knife_model.cmb), Slingshot (patinko_model.cmb), Bomb Bag (bombhukuro_mode.cmb), and Small Magic Jar (mahou_bin_model.cmb) that already went unused in the original Ocarina of Time.

Please elaborate.

Having more detail is always a good thing.



kakusiana_6_info.zsi

In the Japanese version of the Nintendo 64 Majora's Mask, the path to get to the Magic Bean seller at the Deku Palace was much different: the player had to enter the left garden rather than the right and pass through several enemy-filled grottoes to get to the one with the salesman inside. In the international releases and most later versions of the game (including this one), the path was greatly simplified so that the player only has to sneak through the much smaller right garden and drop into a hole. Despite their removal, map data for the removed grottoes remains in Majora's Mask 3D, although their textures were removed.

This vertically-oriented cave originally contained two climbing walls, a few Skullwalltulas (in one of a whopping two appearances in this game!) and a horde of Black Boes.

kakusiana_8_info.zsi

This grotto, on the other hand, is much simpler. The circular area cut out of the shrubs in the middle of the area housed a Deku Baba in the original Japanese release.

In-game Model render

test01_0_info.zsi

The test map from the Japanese Majora's Mask was ported over.

test02_0_info.zsi

It's the same as "test01_0_info.zsi", but it uses less meshes, has no textures, and is missing the water.

Both maps can be loaded by the game without any problem. An Owl Statue can be found in the stairs area as the sole object.

Altered Scene Setup

For some reason, Grezzo altered the position of Tingle's object in an unused scene setup of North Clock Town.

Unused Setup In-Game Setup





Unused Music

Besides from a few select examples, all of the music in Majora's Mask 3D is streamed, meaning it is prerecorded instead of synthesized. All of the below songs are streamed.

Sun's Song

The Sun's Song, which was unused in the original Majora's Mask, returns...to be unused yet again. Well, its audio does, at least. In the N64 game, the Sun's Song could still be activated via cheat codes, and would make the Moon fall faster. It could also be used on the Final Day, only to make the Moon crash into Termina at an unstoppable speed.

Ocarina of Time 3D Credits

The second end credits song from Ocarina of Time 3D returns to Majora's Mask 3D, albeit unused this time around. However, this version of the song is synthesized, compared to the track in Ocarina of Time 3D, which was fully orchestrated. In fact, the composer who made the original version of this track, Ryo Nagamatsu, wasn't even credited in this game!

Stereo Milk Bar Theme

The stereo version of the Milk Bar music that was used in the original game is still left in the game files.

Partial Copy of Credits Music

A copy of the second portion of the N64 credits music exists in the game, called 127NA_BGM_OCA_MUS.dspadpcm.bcstm.

Unused Models

To do:

Saria has a ton of animations. Are all of these from OOT3D, or are some new? Ganondorf, Sheik, and Impa all have animations as well. Get GIFs or videos of these up!

Ganondorf and Sheik

Present in zelda2_fishing_man.gar.lzs are models for Ganondorf and Sheik (with her harp) from Ocarina of Time 3D (Ganondorf is named "fishing_man.cmb", while Sheik is named "fishing_man2.cmb"). The "zelda2_" file prefix indicates that the model was reworked for Majora's Mask 3D. Based on the file name, these characters would have been related to the fishing pond.

Impa

Present in zelda2_fishing_woman.gar.lzs is the model for Impa and her knife from Ocarina of Time 3D. The "zelda2_" file prefix indicates that the model was reworked for Majora's Mask 3D. Based on the file name, Impa would have been related to the fishing pond. She has exactly the same bone structure as the fishing man.

Saria

Present in zelda2_sa.gar.lzs/saria.cmb is the model for Saria and the Fairy Ocarina. She also has the "zelda2_" prefix, possibly indicating new changes made to her model or animations.

Moon Children's Faces

The Moon children's model has a very disturbing unseen feature: their faces are identical to the Happy Mask Salesman's! This is in contrast to the N64 version, in which their faces were not textured.

Ocarina of Time 3D Logo and Copyright

The 3D logo and copyright from Ocarina of Time 3D can be found in zelda_mag.gar.lzs.

Ocarina of Time Actors

Actors brought over from Ocarina of Time 3D have filenames that are prefixed with "zelda" rather than "zelda2", making them easily identifiable.

Development Data

Internal Project Name

Majora's Mask 3D is referred to internally as "Joker". The reason for this becomes apparent when looking at the internal names of other Zelda games released in the same timeframe: Ocarina of Time 3D is known as "Queen", The Wind Waker HD is known as "King", and A Link Between Worlds is known as "Jack", while Tri Force Heroes is known as "Alice". The last moniker might seem out of place, until you remember the playing card elements in the classic tale of Alice in Wonderland, which this seems to be a reference to. The internal name may also be reflected by the game's two-letter code "JR".

Unused Language File

In the European version, there's an additional language message file called eud.gmsg and only contains the word "Link". The name suggests that Dutch may have been an additional language.

Odd Object Placement

Door

There's a door out of bounds in South Clock Town, using glitches to go to the Dummy version of East Clock Town and peeking through the wall will let you see it.

Revisional Differences

To do:

Check out the Korean version when someone gets it.

A patch was released on February 26, 2015 which updated the game to Version 1.1. The update was also pre-installed later on carts. This update fixed the following bugs:
