[edit] Summary

This image of Link discovering the Triforce in a beta version of Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is taken from a 1996 Nintendo show reel, most likely from SpaceWorld. The video source is a PAL DVD - "NGTV Episode 2: Mario's Hidden History" - that was distributed with the October 2006 issue of NGamer Magazine. (According to the magazine itself, the show reel was originally distributed on VHS in an issue of N64 Magazine.)

Due to the PAL source, the dimensions of the image appear slightly stretched in comparison to the previously uploaded image. It was captured by me using Media Player Classic's built-in "Save Image" option. This image has been untouched by image-enhancing programs, but has been compressed using PNGOUT, a lossless image compressor, to save file size.

[edit] Fair use

This image is copyrighted by Nintendo, and is claimed to be fair use as part of the English-language Wikipedia in compliance with the following points:

The image is of a relatively low resolution and/or quality.
No official images of this situation have been released by Nintendo, and it is not possible to view this scene in an unmodified version of Ocarina of Time. Therefore, the presence of this image on Wikipedia does not significantly limit Nintendo's copyright of the image and/or the Legend of Zelda franchise.
This image helps to illustrate both the The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Triforce articles.
No free alternative exists.
