Early Testing (A + B only)
This version is very interesting, nearly everything is diffrent from the final version so there is enough to write about. First of all Link doesnt have a Fairy (Navi) only on some of the screenshots. Since this is the very first playable beta stage of Ocarina of Time are this version VERY simple and not finished at point. Uasually this version were a test just to test out the engine, textures and memory filling.
This version reminds so much about the first zelda game (ZELDA) to the NES, because you do only have two buttons and everything are just so simple but still feels very cool. You can see some similar things in this version and then the final version, but nearly all the textures are changed and all areas looks more primitive, but still you can clearly see what they kept in mind to finish the job.

Wow this version contained a 3D version of the market. The house looks more like a medievel house, instead a Zelda themed house Link also holds his shield in his hands without having the sword out.
This must be a pre-iron knuckle. The place around these guys looks similar to Ganon's castle or somekind of the spiritual temple.
Link is fighting against two promo Stalfos's.
The place is maybe a church, the room can be found in the debug rom as "Room 120: ちゅうスタロフォスベや"

Here we truly see a pre-version of the famous wallmaster, the textures was supposed to be light blue and gray instead of the normal that is dark red and black.
The place could be a very early version of "Bottom of the well" or what some fans call it "the Wallmaster Maze"

This area are supposed to be a very early version of "The lost woods"
It looks like the woods should have been open, where Link could run free around instead of ways that the retail version of "The lost woods" are made of.
We also see this promo poe, not much to say about it. It looks more simple than the original and the lantern i more yellow than the final product

This very known picture definitely shows us a very early version of Lake Hylia, the lady next to Link is a beta character rumored to be called Aria. Fans mean though that she is just an early Malon. But should Malon be at Lake Hylia? Aria also apears on some few screenshots of the castletown (pictures below) this can mean its just a early Malon since Malon also apears in the Market town in the original version.
