On the back of the cartridge, there should be a sticker with a lot of meaningless information that no one reads. If you want to know what version cartridge you have, all you have to do is look at the back. Only versions 1.0 and 1.1 have the original fire temple music every version after that has a revised version. There is version 1.0, 1.1., and 1.2 (the Game Cube and Virtual Console releases are modified versions of version 1.2). There are three main releases of Ocarina of Time. It’s possible that disposing of these copies would have pushed back the release date of the game however, this is all just speculation.ĭoes my Ocarina of Time have this original music? It is unknown why, but Nintendo went ahead and sold the original copies of the game. Besides, even if there were complaints about the music, they were not the reason for the change since all of the changes had already been made to the subsequent versions of the game. Also, I found no historical evidence that there were ever any complaints about the music that Nintendo took seriously.

While the later versions of the game did have a revised chant-less underscore, these changes were made before the release of the original game itself (this was found by accessing the debug menu of different versions). From my research, I do not think that this is not entirely true. The second part of the myth is that the reason that the music was changed was because of complaints about the music after the original version released. I won’t put any of the full translations here, since I cannot prove any of them are legitimate, but suffice to say, the phrase “I bear witness that there is no god but Allah” shows up quite a few times. While the words themselves are very skewered and hard to understand, there are several people who have attempted to translate them. In fact, there are many fans who claim that it is an actual quotation from the Qur’an. The diffrence is heard at about 40 seconds.įirstly, the assumption that the Fire Temple music simply sounds like an Islamic prayer is pretty much spot on. I decided to do some research into the myth and find out exactly how much of it was actually true.įor some perspective, check out the original Fire Temple music, and the revised Fire Temple Music.

The Myth is that the original music featured chanting that sounded like an Islamic prayer and that people complained, forcing Nintendo to change the Fire Temple’s music in later versions of the game. However, there is a little secret contained within its music.

A lot of fans enjoy both the music and dungeon structure from Ocarina of Time’s Fire Temple.
