Majora's Mask 35mm Trailer #2 "Alone"
So, I scored a couple of 35mm Nintendo ads released by Screenvisions over the past month. Included in them were the flat and scope versions of the Majora's Mask trailer discussed here... https://gamesniped.com/2010/06/11/legend-of-zelda-majoras-mask-35mm-film-trailer/
However, along with the "Nintendo - Boy" screenvision ad, which is the Majora's Mask trailer I most remember with the dark images of people around the world contemplating their mortality which is apparently in the hands of a teenage boy playing Zelda in a set taken straight from 2001: A Space Oddessy, there was also a "Nintendo - Alone."
It hadn't been opened or played, but I couldn't help myself. I had to know what it was, so I cut the tape and unrolled it. What I discovered was the following Majora's Mask trailer, which I cannot find a video of. I will describe it the best I can, having only looked at the small panels, no sound or anything. I don't have anything to take pictures right now, but will as soon as I can.
It begins with the opening cutscene from MM, with Link riding on Epona through the forest. It then intercuts a black screen with the words, "You ride alone" starting small then growing larger.
It then cuts to gameplay footage of Link running through the forest after the Skull Kid has taken Epona. Then to the cutscene with Link falling off the ledge into the abyss.
INTERCUT: "You run alone."
Gameplay footage of Link fighting the Gekko miniboss, using ice arrows. Then gameplay footage of Link fighting an Iron Knuckle.
INTERCUT: "You fight alone."
Gameplay footage of Link chopping up Captain Keeta's stalfos guards in the graveyard in Ikana.
Cutscene of Link right before he turns into the Deku scrub for the first time, swaying drunkenly.
Cutscene of Link being transported out of Woodfall temple in the magic diamond thingy after defeating the boss.
Cut shot of Link transforming violently after putting on Zora mask.
Gameplay footage of Link Z-targeting something too small for me to see.
Gameplay footage of Goron Link flying over a ramp on the trail to the Snowhead dungeon.
Gameplay footage of Gekko miniboss fight as Gekko collects the goo droplets around him and forms the giant, protective snot.
Gameplay footage of Link on Epona fighting aliens at Romani Ranch.
Cutscene of Link still falling into the black abyss.
INTERCUT: "But when you die..."
Cut scenes of the wall of fire spreading over Termina after the moon hits when you fuck up.
INTERCUT: "The world dies with you."
Cutscene of Moon crashing down over Clocktown.
INTERCUT: Big "72" the flashes and forms "72 Hours"
Cutscene close-up of Moon's teeth bearing down on the clock tower.
INTERCUT: "One hope."
Cutscene of Link as he watches the army of deku scrubs marching toward him (not shown in trailer).
INTERCUT: "The world is waiting for you."
Then finally the logo shot we are familiar with the reddish moon floating above it.
END
I can't find a video of this trailer anywhere, nor can I find any information on the film. I never saw this trailer in the theaters back then, only seeing the "Nintendo Boy" with less gameplay footage. The cool thing about this one is that it is all in-game footage, which is unlike the other Majora's Mask trailers.
What do you guys think? Anyone remember this one? Have any info?

I don't remember seeing this trailer. Are you planning to capture footage?
Yes, I am. Being new to this, I am looking a different businesses right now that specialize in transfers. Would like to do a 4k, which a few offer.
