==Story==
 
−
In the Kokiri Forest, all the forest children have their own guardian fairies, bestowed upon them by the Great Deku Tree, except for one boy. This boy, plagued by nightmares of a girl fleeing from an evil man clad in black, is named Link. For as long as he could remember, the lonely boy had been ostracized by the other children, never quite fitting in. One day the Great Deku Tree, nearing death, sends Navi the fairy to deliver the lad a summons. In order to test young Link’s courage, the Great Deku Tree bids Link to venture inside his hollow and break the death curse cast upon him by a wicked man in black.
 
  
−
Link complies, but his efforts are for naught; the Great Deku Tree’s death was sealed in the pages of fate before his attempt had even begun. With his last breath, the Great Deku Tree bestows upon Link the Spiritual Stone of the Forest, the Kokiri's Emerald, and entreats him to travel to Hyrule Castle and seek an audience with Princess Zelda.
+
Canonically, ''Ocarina of Time'' was originally said to take place before the rest of the series, before {{zel|A Link to the Past}}, though after its release came {{zel|The Wind Waker}}, {{zel|Twilight Princess}}, and {{zel|Majora's Mask}}, all of which claim to be follow-ups to this game. With ''{{zw|Hyrule Historia|The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia}}'', it was revealed that ''Ocarina of Time'' takes place before ''A Link to the Past'', ''Majora's Mask'', and ''The Wind Waker'', the outcome of this game being split into three branches.

−
After traveling across Hyrule Field and passing through the Castle Town, Link quickly realizes that speaking to the princess of Hyrule would not be a simple matter; many guards stand watch, alert and ready to catch any trespassers. However, he manages to infiltrate the castle, bypassing the front gate and evading all the guards in his path. When he reaches the castle itself, the raised drawbridge seems an insurmountable obstacle. However, Link discovers an unguarded water drain by the castle moat and manages to squeeze through the hole, emerging within the castle garden. Many more guards are on patrol here, but Link is able to evade them all and sneak into the castle courtyard.
 
  
−
Princess Zelda tells Link of her prophetic dreams, explaining that she had seen him come from the forest and break through a veil of darkness, accompanied by a fairy guide and bearing a green and shining stone. She also warns him about Ganondorf, the desert man clad in black whom Zelda believes is symbolized by the dark clouds of her dreams, and his evil intention to steal the Triforce of Legend from the Sacred Realm. With the power of the goddesses, his desire to subjugate the world would be realized. In order to do this, Ganondorf would require not only the three Spiritual Stones of Hyrule, but also the mystical Ocarina of Time.
+
In 2002, this game was re-released for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] alongside {{zel|Ocarina of Time Master Quest}}, a revised version of the game featuring new, more difficult dungeons. The game was also re-released for the GameCube as part of {{zel|Collector's Edition}}. This game was also re-released on the [[Wii]] [[Virtual Console]] service in February 2007, and later for Virtual Console on [[Wii U]] in February 2015. Finally, in 2011, a remake of this game was released for [[Nintendo 3DS]], titled {{zel|Ocarina of Time 3D}}.

Zelda insists that Link track down the other two Spiritual Stones, so that they might beat Ganondorf to the Triforce and put an end to his plot.

''Ganondorf, the evil King of Thieves, is on the move, threatening the peaceful land of Hyrule. He is determined to steal his way into the legendary Sacred Realm in hopes of harnessing the power of the mythical Triforce. As the young hero Link, it is your destiny to thwart Ganondorf's evil schemes. Navi, your guardian fairy, will guide you as you venture through the many regions of Hyrule, from the volcanic caves of Death Mountain to the treacherous waters of Zora's Domain. Before you complete this epic quest, you'll delve into deadly dungeons, collect weapons of great power and learn the spells you need to conquer the most irresistible force of all-time.''
  
−
Link sets out for Death Mountain and Zora's Domain, where he succeeds in assisting both the Gorons and the Zoras in quelling the calamities that Ganondorf had wrought in his pursuit of the Triforce and is awarded with the other two Spiritual Stones, the Goron's Ruby and Zora's Sapphire for his efforts.

He returns to Hyrule Castle to inform Zelda of his success, only to witness his nightmare come to pass. Ganondorf attacked Hyrule Castle in an attempt to steal the Ocarina of Time, and Princess Zelda was forced to flee with her loyal attendant Impa in order to keep the sacred relic from Ganondorf’s hands. As she passes Link on the drawbridge of Hyrule Castle Town, she throws the ocarina into the moat to give him the chance to enter the Sacred Realm and retrieve the Triforce. In hot pursuit, Ganondorf charges across the drawbridge, blasting Link with dark magic when he tries to stand in his way. Dismissing Link as no credible threat to his power, he speeds off in his pursuit of the princess.

When Link retrieves the Ocarina of Time from the moat, he receives a telepathic message from Zelda, bidding him to play the Song of Time in front of the Temple of Time's altar. Link makes his way to the Temple of Time, and proceeds to use the four keys to open the Door of Time. Beyond it lies the Master Sword, the blade of evil’s bane, resting in the Pedestal of Time. Link draws the blade, unlocking the gateway to the Sacred Realm. But then the Master Sword, though accepting Link as its wielder, seals him away in the Sacred Realm. Ganondorf, who had suspected that Link might have already held the keys to the Sacred Realm, mocks him for practically giving him the Triforce. Link watches helplessly as Ganondorf passes him by and crosses over into the Sacred Realm.

The Triforce is a scale that measures the three virtues ruled by the goddesses, Power, Wisdom, and Courage. If the heart of one who holds the sacred triangle carries all three of these forces in balance, that one will acquire the Triforce intact, the divine authority to govern all. If one’s heart is not in balance, the Triforce will separate into three parts, and only one part will remain for the one who touched the Triforce: that part which embodies the force that one most believes in.

Ganondorf proceeded to conquer the Sacred Realm, and became the self-proclaimed King of Evil, but his lust for power was not yet satisfied. In order to gain complete mastery of the world, Ganondorf started hunting for those chosen by destiny to hold the other two Triforce parts that had escaped his grasp.

However, there also existed a prophecy of deliverance from evil. It spoke of six Sages, who dwelt in six temples. Together with a hero chosen by the goddesses, the awakened ones would bind the evil power and return the light of peace to the world.

However, his hunt for the other two pieces was in vain, for their bearers had all but disappeared from the world. His search for Princess Zelda was futile, for she had gone into hiding, and Link was sealed within the Sacred Realm. Still, Ganondorf’s power went virtually unopposed and in seven short years he transformed the once pristine land into a world of monsters and darkness.

The game begins with Link, a boy living in Kokiri Forest who doesn't have a fairy companion who dreams about a girl being chased away by an evil-looking man.

Although he cannot, the Deku Tree gives Link the Kokiri Emerald and tells him to go to Princess Zelda. At Hyrule Castle, Link sneaks in and meets with the princess, who tells him about the evil intentions of Ganondorf and tasks him with finding the other Spiritual Stones.
  
−
When it seemes that all hope has died, Link appears as if from nowhere. A mysterious man named Sheik, one of the survivors of the ancient Sheikah tribe, tells him of Ganondorf’s conquest over the last seven years, and of the legend of the Sages. Wielding the blade of evil’s bane, Link sets out to break the curse on all of the sacred temples.

After finding the stones, Zelda is chased out of Hyrule Castle by Ganondorf, Zelda tossing the Ocarina of Time over to Link. Using the stones and the ocarina, Link can open the door in the Temple of Time to find the Master Sword. After pulling it, Link is taken seven years into the future, after Ganondorf has entered the Sacred Realm, obtained the power of the Triforce of Power, and conquered Hyrule. Now, Link must awaken the six sages and obtain their power to defeat Ganondorf once and for all.
  
−
After freeing the six Sages, Link returns to the Temple of Time and discovers that there is in fact a seventh Sage: Sheik, who is in fact Princess Zelda herself in disguise as a Sheikah to avoid Ganondorf’s pursuits, and was awaiting Link’s return all along.

Princess Zelda had been the one chosen to receive the Triforce of Wisdom, and Link in turn had received the third piece, the Triforce of Courage. Link had been completely unaware of this.

Without a strong and righteous mind, Ganondorf could not control the power of the gods, and so he was felled by Link’s hand. The Sages, their power now restored, cast the evil incarnation of darkness into the void of the Evil Realm that had been the Sacred Realm before becoming stained by Ganondorf's evil. Princess Zelda herself then seals the gateway, and thus, Ganondorf the dark lord vanishes from Hyrule.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is a 3D adventure game released for the Nintendo 64 in 1998. The first 3D The Legend of Zelda game, it tells the story of a hero named Link, and his quest to save Hyrule from the Gerudo King, Ganondorf. The game was originally developed for the Nintendo 64DD, but was redeveloped to be on a regular cartridge due to the declining sales of the 64DD. Ocarina of Time is notable for its reception among both critics and fans, commonly being named as one of the best games of all time ever since its release. It is also the best-selling game in the series so far, selling over 7.6 million copies worldwide during the Nintendo 64's lifespan.[1]

Canonically, Ocarina of Time was originally said to take place before the rest of the series, before The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, though after its release came The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, all of which claim to be follow-ups to this game. With The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia, it was revealed that Ocarina of Time takes place before A Link to the Past, Majora's Mask, and The Wind Waker, the outcome of this game being split into three branches.

In 2002, this game was re-released for the Nintendo GameCube alongside The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Master Quest, a revised version of the game featuring new, more difficult dungeons. The game was also re-released for the GameCube as part of The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition. This game was also re-released on the Wii Virtual Console service in February 2007, and later for Virtual Console on Wii U in February 2015. Finally, in 2011, a remake of this game was released for Nintendo 3DS, titled The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D.

The game begins with Link, a boy living in Kokiri Forest who doesn't have a fairy companion who dreams about a girl being chased away by an evil-looking man. The Great Deku Tree sends the fairy Navi to test the boy, and after Link gets a sword and shield he must try and save the Deku Tree from death.
