Epona, Link's horse, actually began as an idea discussed during development of Super Mario 64 to include a ridable horse in the game. While never included in Mario 64, the developers knew they would eventually include a horse in Ocarina of Time and planned for it from the very beginning.

When the game was in later beta-stages, the buttons had different functions compared to the final release. The functions of the A and B buttons were swapped when compared to the final version; Links sword was assigned to the A button, and the B button was for action commands. Also during this period, the action-button didn't involve rolling. Instead, it was context sensitive and would trigger things like jumps in combat or get information from Navi.

It's possible to use an empty bottle to reflect Phantom Ganon and Ganondorf's magic blasts back at them, similar to how the Bug-Catching Net can be used to reflect Agahnim's magic in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Both items are used in their respective games to catch things, which are then stored in a bottle. Also like the net, there are some advantages to using the bottle: it has a slightly wider swipe and a more consistent motion than the sword.

This was originally going to be where Link was to get the Triforce, and the ability to shoot beams from his sword. It is believed that it was to be accessed through the normally unreachable underwater cave in Zora's Domain.

The game features a crash debugging tool that allowed the developers to find out information as to why the game has crashed. This is still present in all the Nintendo 64 releases, and can be accessed by inputting a series of button combinations after crashing the game. Information about the game and the environment that was present during the crash will be accessible from this screen.
The Version Info screen, however, not only has information about when the game's version was compiled, but also a message which reads, "I LOVE YOU".
