 ** Also, the Temple of Light as a hidden dungeon. This one was proven false, though it's theorized that it was in the beta version, but was [[Dummied Out]].

+** The game was originally going to be released on the ill-fated 64DD add on, but was moved to cartridge once it became clear that the 64DD might not even see a US release.
-** [[Mahito Yokota]] (Main composer for ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'') originally wanted to remaster the soundtrack for orchestra for the 3DS version, and even prepared several tracks, but [[Koji Kondo]] abruptly asked him to "recreate the N64 sound." In the end, only one orchestral track made it into the game. But hey, when ''Koji Kondo'' tells you to do something, you do it.

-** Originally, the video game was envisioned to have some [[Dating Sim]] elements; this is the origin of why there are so many plot important women and so few men.

+** The final battle with Ganon was originally going to be a [[Colossus Climb]], and was dropped for the same reasons as the first person mode. Though it would later be implemented in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' which shared a good chunk of the same development team.
