Good morning/afternoon/evening/night Resetera.
I bet most of you played Ocarina of Time to completion but only few of us proabably found this particular secret moment in the game let alone had the correct version of the game.
The secret is that before you make the first time-skip to become an adult, in that very sequence (Entering castle town after you saw Ganon chase Zelda and Impa out of the town) you can find a struggling guard in the alleyway. If you speak to him he warns you of a bad thing that happened at the castle, possibly tied to the incident with Ganondorf you just witnessed, and then the soldier faints, suggesting he might've died. This character was removed in certain versions of the game, and at least the 3DS versions.
Until now I always assumed it was for the same reason blood was removed from certain characters and maps - that it was censorship but a YouTube video I found today explores the peculiar moment from a new perspective.

Enjoy, and discuss.
