Hi guys!
This is mah first post, so I'm new (Duh)
Anyways, I love beta stuff. Particularly Earthbound 64 and Zelda 64. I found a page that had a HUGE amount of beta images of Zelda 64 near the bottom of the article, along with some videos.
Just thought I'd show you guys here, we could always use new info on things like these, so reply if you need anything.
Anyways, here's the link to the article:

The Beta Guy

[Edit]
Wow. Thats a lot of views. Wasn't expecting to get that much on my first post here. Guess everyone thought I had a copy of the beta or somethin'. Misleading title I guess XD

http://tcrf.net/User:GlitterBerri/Prerelease:The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Ocarina_of_Time - a TCRF user's (well, admin's) work-in-progress OoT prerelease article, with screenshots, translations of articles from Japanese, etc. Not yet finished as far as I know, but might be the most comprehensive piece about the subject once it's done.

Unseen is very old news, and TCRF is a greatly superior resource.

The two are fairly different resources.

Thanks for the info, I'll be looking at TCRF more.

Thanks for the reply. It does seem to have some interesting stuff, but I can still tell it's still not quite finished, but it has a lot of content.

Use the EDIT button

TCRF is maintained by game prototype scholars (as snobbish as it sounds). They take lots of care to provide highest quality pictures and to verify their facts. Unseen is kind of a mess and some of the information is questionable. Lastly, don't double post edit your last one if no one has replied.

I also prefer TCRF, but its less of a blog and more of a wiki. You're probably best to check both then try out a strictly Zelda wiki? Just my two cents.

Unseen was at its best when it was gathering materials and not adding commentary. Same for TCRF, assumptions are dangerous when they arent labelled as such. Simply state what is there first, without trying to explain developer intent. Both have/had a purpose, much like how my little blog has its own use.

zeldawiki.org has this type of stuff but is worse than U64 in my experience. Proto research is abysmal and/or scant outside of the holy proto trinity (Assembler, TCRF and U64).
