New promotional VHS of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has been discovered and ripped! Tons of beta elements here. The tape was a Blockbuster giveaway (in Brazil) for pre-ordering Zelda 64.

I still remember being a teen and couldn't wait for this game to come out. I reserved a gold copy at eb games. The water temple still haunts me but a fantastic game.

Wow! This is actually really cool. Didn't know Link originally could swing his sword as he ran.

Was expecting more of this

That was never a game, just a tech demo made specifically for an Ultra 64 sizzle reel. Though, it is interesting that that Link model looks like Zelda II's Link considering that OoT started development as a Zelda II remake.

I have a few gaming VHS tapes I still have sealed. They're lying around somewhere. I think Sony or Nintendo sent em to me. Also have those Playstation demo CDs from 96-97 lingering around.

You dont have to tell me. I was alive and reading game magazines when that bit of footage was first made public.

Anybody knows when the game was actually named?

It was Zelda 64 for a while. When did they announce that it was gonna be "Ocarina of Time"?

E3 1997? 98?

They added sword swinging while moving for Twilight Princess again and then went backwards and removed it with other Zeldas again *sigh*, wonder if they'll ever bring it back.
