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, [[Ganon]]dorf, 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 ''Ocarina of Time'' revolves around the Gerudo King and evil wizard, 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 [[Zelda|Princess Zelda]]. She explains to Link 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 [[Goron's Ruby|Fire]] and [[Zora's Sapphire|Water]]. The young hero goes to [[Hyrule Castle Town]] and watches the Princess being pursued by Ganondorf. At this point, [[Zelda|Princess Zelda]] gives Link the Ocarina of Time. Link continues onward, 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, guarded by the sage Rauru. When Link awakens, he discovers that much has changed during the seven years he spent sleeping. Rauru explains to Link what he must do, giving him hints on how and where to find the other sage medallions. With the help of [[Sheik]], the hero travels to the temples and awakens the [[Sage|six 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 Arrow]]s 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 (Ganon). 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.

===Locations===
In ''Ocarina of Time'', Link starts off in his 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 Link's best friend, Saria. There is a place called the [[Lost Woods]] within 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, Link must run very far across the field. As an adult, Link can have an optional event to get a horse, [[Epona]], which makes travel much more efficient in Hyrule Field. The next area Link 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 Link's life and Magic Meter. Next is the [[Happy Mask Shop]], which gives Link the option to embark on a series of side quests selling masks. If Link completes these missions, he can obtain the [[Mask of Truth]].
