This is a sub-page of Development:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

To do:

Patches to play the two versions of room header.
The files of the two versions of room header are easily recognizable. For example: "ydan_main_info.o" is an old version that seems to be accidentally used during compilation and "ydanDD_main_info.o" is the recent and main version.
Document the other DD.bak maps. Maybe it's better to rename this sub-page into "Early Master Quest" or something like that and put it inside the 3D Maps sub-page.

This section lists all the differences in the scene setups of the regular maps found in the iQue data compared to their final release counterparts.

DD.bak Scene Setups

The DD.bak files found in the iQue data predate the Master Quest release and reveal several differences in their scene setups. All maps feature the old Gerudo symbol.

Another peculiarity is that the room files contain an additional room header, which always follows the initial one and seems to contain the same information. Looking into their respective folders in \data\shape2\zelda_scene, we can find another regular info file inside the individual room folders besides the DD_info ones.

There are no scene files for the DD.bak maps in the data folder, but they can be found in \data\shape2\zelda_scene.

Inside the Deku Tree

This version of Inside the Deku Tree features several small differences in most rooms. Only a few of them are identical to their final counterparts.

The actors related to Navi are completely absent in this dungeon.

Looking at the changes that were made for the final Master Quest release, it seems like the developers aimed for an easier approach to proceed through this dungeon, like the hidden dungeon switches that were altered to make them more noticeable or the different torch stands in the entrance area.

Room 0

Actors

Right after Link enters the Deku Tree, an additional torch stand is placed to the right of the webbing covering the opening on the ground.

DD.bak	Master Quest

Climbing the vines to the left reveals another torch stand, which is placed at the overhang with the recovery heart.

DD.bak	Master Quest

Moving further up to the area with the Gohma larva and the treasure chest, which holds the Dungeon Map, reveals two additional large wooden crates on both sides.

The torch stand is set up with variable 10D6, instead of 03E7.

DD.bak	Master Quest

There is no webbing in front of the door leading to the Compass room, and two large wooden crates are placed in front of the wall to the right.

The transitional door actor is set up by variable 0096 instead of 003F, so in order to open the door Link needs to light up all torch stands spread around the whole area.

DD.bak	Master Quest

The dungeon switch is covered by three large wooden crates. Both the torch stand and the Keese were moved to another location.

DD.bak	Master Quest

Objects

Object 012F, the square signpost, is missing. It is included, but unused, in the final setup.

Room 3

Actors

One of the dungeon switches is placed below the water surface, whereas it was moved to a different location in the final version of Master Quest.

DD.bak	Master Quest

There are two additional large wooden crates behind the webbing near the dungeon switch. Another two small wooden crates are placed in front of the wall to the right side.

DD.bak	Master Quest

The large area around the crawl spot features a withered Deku Baba and another three large wooden crates that are placed on top of grass clumps.

DD.bak	Master Quest

Even more large wooden crates can be found in the area where normally a dungeon switch and a withered Deku Baba would be located.

DD.bak	Master Quest

Objects

Object 012F, the square signpost, is missing. It is again included but unused in the final version.

Room 4

Actors

There are three additional large wooden crates and two small crates located in this room.

DD.bak	Master Quest

Room 5

Actors

After Link enters the spike roller room, a gravestone can be found to the right.
It hides a dungeon switch, which triggers a falling treasure chest that gives Link a blue rupee.

In the regular Master Quest, this chest doesn't need to be triggered and contains a recovery heart.

We can see that the developers just removed the gravestone and dungeon switch, leaving only the grass clumps behind:

DD.bak	Master Quest

Three small crates and a large wooden crate can be found in the area around the timeblock:

DD.bak	Master Quest

Objects

The object list is the same in both versions, so object 0096 for the gravestone is still there, but unused in the final version of Master Quest.

Room 6

Actors

There are four additional wooden crates in the Gohma Larva room. A single Keese changed its location, but everything else is the same.

DD.bak	Master Quest

Room 7

Actors

A Keese is sitting on the gravestone in the central area, where normally the dungeon switch would be.

There is also another En_Wonder_Item placed here, which triggers a blue rupee after Link hits it with his sword.

DD.bak	Master Quest

The dungeon switch, which normally would be in the central area, is hidden under a gravestone surrounded by grass clumps:

DD.bak	Master Quest

Room 10

Actors

The slingshot room features two large wooden crates instead of grass clumps near the door. Two more large wooden crates can be found to the left side of the treasure chest.
