Ocarina of Time Medallions were replaced by the Ocarina

Did You Know Gaming brings us more facts from our favorite video game series that we might not have known about. You might be aware that Ocarina of Time began life as a vastly different project than what we ended up getting. The world was originally accessed similarly to Super Mario 64, Octoroks roamed on land, etc. But this Twitter post from Did You Know Gaming brings something new to light. Hit the jump to see what it is!
As you can see in the picture below, those medallions that Link gets from the Six Sages were originally much more useful. Today, we make jokes about how they apparently “add to your power” while not actually doing anything, but in fact they originally served the function of the songs taught to Link by Sheik. Link would be able to equip a Sage’s medallion and use it to warp back to the location outside their temple. In the end, the method that Nintendo ended up using probably worked out for the best, considering the possibility of needing to leave the dungeon and trek all over Hyrule for one reason or another.
What do you think about this revelation of equipable medallions? Sound off in the comments!
