The Wind Temple is in OoT!

The Sky Temple or Wind Temple is now what we know as the Forest Temple...so in fact the Wind Medallion used to belong to the Forest Temple, and the Ice medallion was going to be the Now mini-Dungeon the Ice cavern's price.
Remnants of their supposed original theme are present in the released version of Ocarina of Time, such as the presence of an ice-themed mini-dungeon and Saria's part in Ganon's Castle being wind-themed.
The Forest Medallion has a symbol that looks very similar to other Wind Symbols in Zelda series rather than being forest like(leaves and other stuff).

Funny, I am just replaying OoT and yesterday I came to Ganon's tower and noticed this too !

The forest temple has no wind whatsoever, so I guess the wind temple was scrapped early enough to change it to the forest temple.

I wonder why they didn't replace the Wind medaillon with a real forest medaillon though. They just painted it green

This is quite interesting, I didn't know that (although the Forest Temple in TP is Wind-themed) :O
When I was inside Ganon's Castle, beating the Temple-rooms, I noticed that it was kinda wind-themed, although the Forest Temple doesn't have anything with wind in it.

What i heard about the Medaillons, is that the Medaillons were supposed to be items, did you ever heard of that? It's still in a beta or something, whatever...

Hm, interesting. I could see why they tied it in with the Forest Temple even though there is no wind. Because together I can picture the wind in the trees etc....

You know, I always wondered why Saria's room in Ganon's castle had nothing to do with forest but instead had wind... Nice find!

Pics or GTFO.

I'm serious.

The ice medallion? Where's the proof of the Ice madallion? Sorry, i'm not trying to disprove you, i'm just a little confused there.

It's all here:

These two icons left inside the rom of Ocarina can be translated as Wind Medallion and Ice Medallion, and they are most likely the leftovers of two temples removed from the final game and probably scheduled for Zelda Ura.

Ha...I always sucked at the Forest Section of Ganon's Castle...everytime I fell off the cliff I'd be all "What does this have to do with the Forest!?!"

Interesting. I never really knew that.

oh btw, this would have been HILARIOUS if kept in the game!

The theory is that the Medallions were going to be used to teleport instead of the songs.

It's still in the code. Just use a GameShark/Emulator to access it (I don't know the code, so don't ask).

it is in the game, since Star Fox 64 was released about the same time as OoT, the Nintendo Developers thought it would be funny...to some.

I got an idea, why not have an wind temple AND a forest temple.

Because they already had to scrap the Sky Temple and Malon being a sage due to fanboys constant 'giv me zelda nao, lols' so they didn't have time.

Excuse me, but if OoT would have been released much later than it was released Majora's Mask would probably have been cancelled.
There still exists the possibility that Saria's Room in Ganon's Castle once belonged to Malon in early development.

You honestly believe that they were planning MM way back when OoT was being made? They ended up coming out with MM because they wanted to use OoT's engine again before the GameCube was released.

They actually planned for Malon to be a Sage?

Cool, is there any further information about this ? They should have scrapped Rauru, he is just boring. Malon would be much cooler as a sage

The medallions originally were going to have effects such as Din's fire, nayrus love, warping, etc.

That's what someone said in one of the Sky Temple threads.
