I know almost nothing about N64 protos. What things are you looking at to reach your conclusion?
I would like to know the same thing.
The only test i can think of is dumping the ''prototype'' and compairing it with the dumped rom on the net.
And I'm 99,99% sure it is the same.
The "only" way to flash a rom to an official Nintendo flash cart is by using a Gang Writer, and with that either by copying a "master cartridge" or by sending a rom from a PC (with the correct official software, good luck finding that)

How do I reach my conclusion? well official 512mbit flash carts are insanely rare, how do I know? I've been collecting N64 protos for years and have NEVER come across a 512M cart myself (currently own roughly some 60 N64 protos).
If this was just a flash of the already released rom, not only would you need to have a Gang Writer, know how to operate it, but also have access to a 512M cart. That combination is very unlikely
One odd thing though is why it's on a 512M cart, afaik OoT is only 256M.
As for the youtube guy comparing the proto to the released game, he abviously has no clue about N64 protos ($50 and you have one of these flash carts..... gimme 4 of those please!)
Most n64 prototypes are indeed 256M or 128.
The software for the gang writer is on the net. Just check assembler you will find it.
I'm scully from the x-files skeptical . You are fox mulder (i want to believe). (joke
