Very cool, I'll have to check these out!

I'd love to see a cut that incorporates the Tears of the Kingdom memories for the full Imprisoning War narrative.

There is a very intense contingent of the fanbase that is only interested in content that proves their pet theory correct. I think it's loosened up a bit over time, but they are still out there.

Raphica is a blast, but I enjoy how headstrong Quia is. Of the jabroni squad, Ronza is fantastic.

This is one of my favorite Zelda pieces and it's fantastic seeing it in such high quality!

This page shows a Windmill Village with strange flower people. The other location is an alternate version of the Grand Channel seen on the previous page. For the rest... I am very curious what the Love Push with a peanut would have required...

This has an area with a telescope on a mountain, which matches up with the telescope seen on the world map. There's a Sky Workshop where Orbital Industries is located. It's mentioned multiple times in game but we never get to see it. Mask Town might have required the party to wear masks to fit in.

This page shows an alternate version of the train-switch area, a different version of Liar Village, and a High Speed Railway. There are also some discarded ideas for other methods of transportation before they settled on the Tingle Train.

This page shows off a Geothermal Town powered by a volcano, a Hall of Time, and an alternate version of Emerald City. That one shows another version of character designs too. The Hall of Time is where Buriki would have been manufactured.

I came across this map on the Tingle's Balloon Trip official site a few months ago. It was an early concept of what the world map might have looked like. The guide actually shows what a lot of these places would have been.

This part shows their origins as Oz characters and some of the different configurations over time. Apparently they intended Barkle to be around more for the Toto role. The bottom left might be my favorite of the bunch.

Lion went through the most changes. They went from a preppy cat girl to wrestler, salary man, until the final design. I love Lion in this game and his story is pretty heartfelt, but it is a shame he's so close to his Oz counterpart. Some of these earlier designs would have been fascinating.

Biriku had some very interesting design changes. It seems like they didn't decide on a feminine design until quite a bit later. They clearly wanted a robot instead of a Tin Man from the start.

Kakashi, the Scarecrow, went through a lot of design changes. One of his earliest designs looks vaguely Skull Kid like. The third iteration might be my favorite.

Tingle doesn't deserve this slander!

One of my favorite bits from A Link to the Past was how Link would get a new tunic, but rather than throw the old one out, he seemed to sit down and stitch the older tunic into his new ensemble.

This whole guide is a treat to go through. The artwork is fantastic.
