The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: Difference between revisions

'''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time''' is the fifth game in the Legend of Zelda series;

it's preceded by The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening and followed by The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.  

Ocarina of Time was praised by critics and players alike for its intuitive storyline and time travel mechanics

and its 3D graphical style, which was new technology at the time. Like previous Zelda titles, Ocarina of Time was directed and produced by Shigeru Miyamoto, who also worked on Nintendo titles including the Super Mario series and Donkey Kong. Ocarina of Time was very well received by critics and is one of the few video game titles to have received a perfect score from gaming magazine ''Famitsu''. Ocarina of Time has received numerous awards and perfect scores in multiple gaming magazines. The game was originally released on the Nintendo 64 in [[Ocarina_of_Time_Versions|numerous versions]], and emulated versions of the title has been released on ''Nintendo Gamecube'' (GCN) and the ''Nintendo Wii'' while a remake is available for the ''Nintendo 3DS''.

The base game mechanic behind Ocarina of Time is its titular "time travel" concept in which the hero travels backward and forward seven years in time by removing the Master Sword from its pedestal in the Temple of Time or vice versa. This blade is in turn used to defeat the game's boss monsters and seal the King of Evil, Ganondorf, in the sacred realm. Time travel is also used heavily in the various side stories and side quests. The other massive innovation is the use of the Ocarina of Time. The use of this instrument allows the hero to teleport to various locations, influence certain elements of the scenery, influence the time of day and the weather, speak with the hero's friend Saria, and summon your horse. This aspect introduced a heavy use of instruments in the series and has popularized the ocarina instrument since.

The story of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time revolves around the Gerudo King and evil wizard [[Ganon|Ganondorf's]] rise to power and the hero, [[Link]]'s quest to defeat him and return peace to the land of [[Hyrule]] once again. The game opens with the hero's mentor and protector, The [[Great Deku Tree]], sending a fairy, [[Navi]], to inform the hero about his new responsibilities. Navi escorts the hero to the Great Deku Tree who explains that Ganondorf has come to the land of Hyrule and is vying for power. The hero leaves his home in Kokiri Forest and travels to Hyrule Castle to meet [[Princess Zelda]]; she explains to him about a dream that she had in which all of Hyrule was covered in dark clouds. She asks Link to collect the Spiritual Stones of Fire and Water. The young hero goes to Castle Town and watches the princess being pursued by Ganondorf. He receives the [[Ocarina of Time]] and continues, undaunted, to the [[Temple of Time]] where he receives the [[Master Sword]].

After removing the Master Sword from the Pedestal of Time, the hero falls into a deep sleep for seven years. When he awakens, he discovers that much has changed during the seven years he spent sleeping.  With the help of Sheik, the hero travels to the temples and awakens the sages. The hero travels to the Temple of Time once more where he discovers that Sheik is actually Zelda. Ganondorf comes and captures the princess. The hero travels to Ganondorf's castle. Ganondorf confronts him for a final showdown, in which he utilizes the power hidden in the Master Sword and the Light Arrows to weaken and then defeat Ganondorf. The hero and Princess Zelda manage to escape, but before they can leave the ruins they are confronted by Ganondorf in his true form. The hero defeats him once again, and with the aid of Princess Zelda and the six other sages, traps the evil king in the Sacred Realm. The Princess thanks the hero and returns him to his childhood.

In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time you start off in your home at [[Kokiri Forest]. The forest is where the first dungeon of the game takes place inside the [[Great Deku Tree]]. In Kokiri Forest, there are many townsfolk, including the leader [[Mido]] and your best friend, [[Saria]]. There is a place called the [[Lost Woods]] withing the forest. Saria has a hideout there next to the [[Forest Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Forest Temple]], which is unreachable as a kid. Out of Kokiri Forest, there is a place called [[Hyrule Field]], the largest area in the game. Every location is connected to it, with Hyrule Field being at the center of these locations acting as almost a hub world. As a kid, you must run very far across the field. As an adult, you can have an optional event to get a horse, [[Epona]], which makes travel much more efficient in Hyrule Field. The next area you can visit is the Market, which is where the majority of townsfolk, stores, and games are located. The Bazaar, a store with many convenient wares such as the Hylian shield is first encountered at the Market. There is also a Potion Shop, which sells potions to refill your life and Magic Meter. Next is the Happy Mask Shop, which gives you the option to embark on a series of side quests selling masks. If you complete these missions, you can obtain the [[Mask of Truth]].
