- 83, shells do not appear visibly in trees in the final game.
- Originally, Links were supposed to start levels with the slingshot instead of no item.
- 114, Shows an unused magic jar.
- 117, Course 3 looks very different.
- 124, Originally, there were 2 shells to collect per map instead of 1.
- 151, FSA would have kept track of the amount of rupees.
- 155, Unused moon gate effect.
- 159, Maps in Navi trackers have a specific minigame that will always be played. Normally course 3 is always bingo.
