This was pretty much the final game, the control style is the same as the final one except that the 'A' and 'B' buttons have switched roles.

Although quite a lot of stuff was still being changed it was mostly minor, the story had been finalised and most things were probably just being tested to make sure they worked properly.

Sheik using a Deku nut to make her getaway, in the final version a sandstorm comes and obscures her.
Being attacked by four Tektites, there are only three here in the final version, unless you lure the one from the top of the mountain all the way down, plus the ones here are blue Tektites, final version has red ones. The old topographical map is still there.
The word on the Deku stick icon has reappeared here.
And gone once again here.
Rather nifty looking sign, Navi's gone an odd colour though.
The old OoT, with the 3 Spiritual stones set into it, also a good view of the old Navi with "clipped" wings.
This is most interesting, a multicoloured bomb.
The old dodgy looking Ocarina playing animation.
A spindly Tektite. The rock texture on the wall at the back looks different and can be seen on a number of other shots here, plus, the entrance to Dodongo's Cavern doesn't seem to be there, in fact, that rock texture reminds me of rubble, could it be that a landslide had conveniently covered the entrance to DC to prevent you from getting in as an adult?
The only problem with this would be that the Gorons would all starve again. But the entrance definitely isn't there.
Look at the magic meter, it's pathetically small.
The Goron is saying something! Apparently it's something about him being a weird Goron.
I think this one is something to do with a Great Fairy, or perhaps something about Bombflowers. But I'm not sure, if anyone could provide me with a translation I'd be very grateful. A rather neat text bubble too.
This is rather nifty, these shots are taken from a movie I've got, and what happens is pretty cool.
The Tektite jumps into Link(screen 1), bounces back then takes another jump at him. Link does a stab attack and slides under the Tektite while it's in midair(screens 2 & 3), then he does it again.
I'm pretty sure you can't do this in the final version because Link doesn't slide forward like he does in the movie, but it looks like a rather cool move.
