An add-on to ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'', named ''[[Ura Zelda]]'', was originally going to be released for the Nintendo 64DD peripheral but was cancelled due to the peripheral being a commercial failure.

==Accessories==
===Rumble Pak===
The Rumble Pak is an accessory that can be plugged into the back of a Nintendo 64 controller. This causes it to vibrate during certain parts of a game. In ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'', if a Rumble Pak is inserted and Link has the [[Stone of Agony]], the Rumble Pak rumbles whenever a [[secret cavern|secret grotto]] is nearby.
 
===Nintendo 64DD===
The Nintendo 64DD is a disk drive peripheral for the Nintendo 64 that was only released in Japan in December 1999. An add-on to ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'', named ''[[Ura Zelda]]'', was planned for the system but was later cancelled because the Nintendo 64DD was a commercial failure.
 
===Expansion Pak===
The Expansion Pak is an accessory that increases the Nintendo 64's RAM by four megabytes, thus enhancing the performance of some games. The Expansion Pak is optional for most games, as it usually enhances the graphic quality of certain games. ''The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask'' is one of the three games to require the Expansion Pak, the other two are ''[[mariowiki:Donkey Kong 64|Donkey Kong 64]]'' and ''[[rarewiki:Perfect Dark|Perfect Dark]]'', both of which were developed by [[rarewiki:Rare|Rare]].
