MM-N64 That one Airplane in Majoras Mask

Does anybody remember that paper airplane found at Ikana Castle on one of the pillars? I was really surprised to find it and even more surprised that I have never heard of it before. Then again I guess it must be old news now. Thoughts?

It was mentioned in another thread and I saw it on my second run through of Ikana Castle, apparently the king's guards are bored lol

Funny, because I thought that it was originally planned by the developers as something that was just going to be used in the game as a side quest, but then it showed up in MM3D. I wonder why they left it there? What is it's intended purpose?

The world may never know...

Maybe it's just there because of the little girl not far from there. With the height that Ikana Castle is at, it wouldn't be surprising for the wind to carry a sheet of paper over to that location.

Just my short little theory on it.

I've known about the weird Ikana Castle paper airplane for a while. It may be a remnant of MM's beta stages, like a sidequest that was taken out at some point during the game's development. Oddly enough, they forgot to take the paper airplane model out. Maybe they used the deleted sidequest to test Bomber's Notebook functionality or something like that? Also, if there was such a sidequest, why was it removed? I'm also not sure if the paper airplane has any significance in the Japanese N64 version of MM either.

There are similar things in OoT, like an Arwing enemy that was coded into the game to test flying enemy AI. However, the code was never taken out, so with a cheating device (ex. Gameshark), you can actually fight the Arwing enemy!
