Likewise, the Ice Cavern was originally going to be the "Water Temple" only that the element here would naturally have been ice (hence the snowflake on the medallion). In OoT3D, the Forest Medallion is now only three spokes, so that it resembles leaves more than a fan. This is noteworthy, as Ganon's Tower was originally going to be used as a central Hub for the game, instead of the Hyrule overworld). In fact, if you look at the Forest Seal mini-dungeon in Ganon's Tower, there is a major wind-based theme to it, and that air/fan puzzles from the Shadow Temple would originally have been included there and also in the actual Wind (Forest) Temple itself. Many elements were changed in production of the game, such as the Forest temple actually starting life as the Wind Temple, hence why the original medallion was an air fan: But yes, the Temple of Light was supposed to have at one stage existed. If I remember correctly, the Triforce was speculated to have been there, but this was so early on - and there's so little information out there that I'm not sure at all. Īs far as I know, there was indeed a Light Temple planned, but scrapped very early on in development. What about the Light Temple? Why would Nintendo give the gamers a free medallion? Wouldn't it be much more fun if there was actually a dungeon we needed to beat? Could the free light medallion be a hasty decision on Nintendo's part, because of not having more time? For me, it seems logical, considering the fact that the Ice Cavern seems unfinished in many ways. Many players agree that the Ice Cavern= parts of the scrapped Ice Temple. I wonder if Nintendo originally planned a light temple with the hookshot as a dungeon item? Where would that light temple be located? Was the Temple of Time meant to be expanded like in Twilight Princess? The ice arrows from Gerudo Training Grounds are not necessary in order to beat the game either.
The Deku shrine's reward (from Majora's mask), the Mask of Scents, is not needed to complete the game. It seems odd to me that they put such a "valuable" reward in a minigame. The hookshot is an important item that you need in order to enter the Forest Temple. I'm also wondering if the hookshot was originally meant to be in Dampé's grave.
Lately, I have wondered a lot about how odd it is that Link receives a free light medallion from Rauru (without actually beating a dungeon).
