English vs Japanese Majora's Mask

Finally stopped being lazy and made a pastebin about this lol
Credits goes to Darkeye14, Ingx24, Swordless, Jiano and the rest of the ZSR crew.

Here's a complete list of whats different.

**
Japanese v1.0 AND v1.1

There is a different camera angle when speaking to Tatl for the first time in CT.

Playing SoDT at dawn in CT makes music play at night.

You cannot adjust the camera when you're atop the Deku palace walls.

Goht does not hit you when you unfreeze him.

The cutscene after beating snowhead varies between the versions.

Pirate's fortress lacks music at night
There's a wall missing inside the hookshot room inside pirate's fortress
The hookshot chest is also flipped.
It is possible to catch the fish inside of the Zora egg tanks.

STT music doesn't play at night.

Skull kid's face is completely black.


Link faces the camera every time you equip or take of a transformation mask.

There are power crouchstabs.

The postman heartpiece is almost impossible to obtain as you sometimes can't even hit 10.00 and it is also frame perfect.

Some textures are different.
A few sound effects have also been removed in the english version.

Link will sometimes make a Goron noise when he grabs a ledge.

There is a grotto inside the Deku palace in the Japanese version that isn't loaded in the English version, however it is possible to bomb hover into the unloaded grotto in the english version.
The bean grotto is also in a different spot.

Japanese bottle adventure is very different from the English bottle adventure

The default crouchstab damage is 0.
It is required to store a slash before bomb hovering against walls.

You can only use the Zora magic attack if you're standing still at the bottom or if you're going at full speed
Flying Zora does not work.
Zora link is a lot harder to maneuver in water.
There's no grab feature when pushing Mikau so you have to do it yourself.
The water level is also lower which means that the Zora mask is REQUIRED to hit the coast owl.

You can pull out infinite bombchus for the honey & darling mini-game

You have 10 less seconds to finish the CT archery mini-game
The Octo's move a lot faster however.

Goron link does not run to the horse when you activate the epona cutscene at the ranch.
Alternate ranch glitch does not work.

The in game clock displays a "0" instead of "12"

The Japanese version have exclusive Ocarina of Time Items hidden in the code, such as:

35-Poacher's Saw
36-Broken Giant's Knife
37-Perscription
38-Eyeball Frog
39-Eyedrops
6B-Deku Pipes
69-Goron Drums
6A-Zora Guitar
72-OoT Mirror Shield
??-Fishing Rod
??-OoT Hookshot
??-OoT Slingshot
Unpausing the game randomly causes it to crash.

You cannot hover on top of chests in stone tower unless you slash your sword (this was actually recently discovered, this trick used to be "English only".

You can pick up the rock sirloin as Zora link in the Japanese version.

---It is likely that i might have  forgotten something so i'll keep updating this pastebin.---

But in conclusion you can see that the Japanese version of Majora's Mask is almost a completely different game.
Most of us agree that JP should be considered to be a separate version.
