As of April 26, 2023, there are 19 known official unique builds of Ocarina of Time. For this list NTSC copies are counted as one. In reality the game ID in the header differs depending on whether the copy is Japanese or American and is used to determine the game language but the ROMs are otherwise identical.

Build Code Format

  • zelda = Development team codename or project name given to game. Remember, the rom's header is just "The Legend of Zelda", so this could be similar.
  • @ = at, so this is referring to a physical place, not an email.
  • srd = Systems Research & Development, Nintendo's programming team that worked with Nintendo's EAD team to develop the game.
  • 022 = the group number
  • J = group origin. J = Japanese, U = USA, E = Europe, etc.
  • 03-02-21 = Because this game was developed in Japan, the date is listed in the form year, month, and day, rather than the American month, day, year or other variations. So in this case, this build was created on Feb. 21st, 2003.
  • 20:37:19 = Using 24 hour clock, just like the dating before. 20 = hour, 37 = minute, 19 = seconds. With the 12 hour clock, this would read as 8:37:19 PM.
