Several revisions were made to Ocarina of Time over the years to make some small changes and correct some unforseen bugs. This table only applies to North American (NTSC) releases.

Please note there are some rare copies of version 1.0 that were manufactured in gray cartridges before the new 1.1 compilation was introduced.

This can be checked on a PC by dumping the ROM into a text viewer or hex editor. On the Nintendo 64 console, you'll need to crash the game and enter the programmer's debug code. All in all, it can be too much trouble to find when you have some basic indicators (As follows).

The Nintendo 64 logo displayed at startup is darker in 1.0 compared to later versions. Don't ask why, it just is.

In the original version, you can perform a trick that allows you to leave the Fishing Pond with the rod equipped. Equip the hover boots, walk out onto the pond, and cast your line while still hovering. If done correctly, you'll be able to walk around even with the line cast. Make your way to the door and leave. Check Glitches for more information.

In versions 1.0 and 1.1, Ganondorf coughs up red blood after being defeated. This was substituted with the family-friendly green blood in later versions of the game. Prior to its removal, this was the only part of the game that contained red blood.

This famous glitch is performed by entering the final battle with Ganon and saving right after Link loses the Master Sword. After saving and resetting the game, you'll be able to use C-button items on Epona, provided you do not equip anything to the B button again. This glitch only works for version 1.0. Check Glitches for more information.

There are two versions of the Fire Temple music. The original version contains a chant in Arabic, while the new track contains a quieter chorus similiar to the music in the Shadow Temple. The track supposedly translated into a prayer, and was changed in response to complaints.

The Nintendo 64 versions of the game featured a crescent and star as the Gerudo emblem. It was seen on the Mirror Shield and various objects throughout Hyrule. This was only recently removed in the Gamecube releases of the game, due to real-world significance. The crescent moon and star are recognized predominantly as a common symbol of Islam. They are also featured on the flags of many modern day countries, such as Turkey.
