"Unused Items

Unused items
Items that aren't found anywhere in the game. They also work for the most part. You can write their value to 7E0AB4 to replace the first slot of your inventory with them.
Iog-note.gif 05 - Incan Melody: Description: "Told by father to go to Incas with melody." Oddly, its name is "Inca Melody" in the inventory, but if equipped, it's called the "Incan Melody". This seems to be an early/alternate version of the Melody of the Wind, as attempting to use it gives you the exact same message. There doesn't seem to be anywhere you can play this song, and there's no corresponding unused song hidden in the data.
Iog-diary.gif 15 - Blue Journal: Description: "Journal found by fireplace." This gives you the option to choose between three different topics, "Tower of Babel", "Mystic Statues", and "Great Wall of China", but the text for them is nothing more than repeating the "chapter title". The text when using this item indicates it's Lance's father's, and given this, and the subject matter, it was probably supposed to be obtained at Watermia.
Iog-gold.gif 1B - Bag of Gold: Description: "Prize from Russian Glass". Obviously, this was supposed to be the prize for winning the drinking game. Evidently you were supposed to buy the four Kruks at one point; in the final game, you're given these beasts right off for winning.
Most of the invalid values are also replaced with Mystic Statues. They have no graphic nor description and don't do anything."


I thought this was cool. This site has a ton of beta and other interesting info!

I've also been to Unseen64.com, which has a ton of beta/unreleased info about various games. I've read this before and it's pretty cool to see what didn't make it into the game.

I especially enjoyed reading about the original beta to Ocarina of Time and the significant changes between the two.

Wow, thanks for linking to that site. I found some really interesting things in there.

I know it's only a snippet of the main theme, but it's cool to hear that they had a little fanfare in place which they never used. It's also cool to see that Neil's Father has something he wants to say to you in Euro, but the game makes him inaccessible so you can't actually speak to him.
