He set out on a journey across [[Hyrule]] to prevent [[Ganon#Ocarina of Time|Ganondorf]], the [[Gerudo]] King of Thieves, from obtaining the [[Triforce]] and conquering [[Hyrule]]. After pulling the [[Master Sword]] from the [[Pedestal of Time]] inside the [[Temple of Time]], Link was sealed away for seven years - as an adult, he fought to reclaim Hyrule from the King of Evil, and eventually succeeded using the power of both the [[Triforce of Courage]] and the [[Seven Sages]]. Link was then returned to his childhood, going on a journey of self-reflection; along the way, he would come across the land of [[Termina]], and save its inhabitants from an apocalypse at the hands of [[Majora's Mask]]. | ||

At the beginning of the game, Link is 9 years old,{{ref| https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/3ds/zelda-ocarina-of-time/4/1 | When we decided to handle Link growing up from a 9-year-old child to a more mature 16-year-old, I wanted lots of characters to fulfill various roles. For example, Kaepora Gaebora is a grandfather figure who gives Link all kinds of advice and looks out for him. And since Link is a boy, I wanted girls besides Princess Zelda to show up. | Shigeru Miyamoto}}, and has a nightmare. In the nightmare, he is in a grassy field, and witnesses a woman and a young girl riding out from across a drawbridge on a horse - chasing them is a sinister-looking man with black skin and red hair on his own horse, who runs Link over when he turns back to look. Awakening in his [[Link's House|house]], Link is suddenly bequeathed a fairy companion, [[Navi]], who instructs him to visit the Great Deku Tree. | At the beginning of the game, Link is 9 years old,{{ref| https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/3ds/zelda-ocarina-of-time/4/1 | When we decided to handle Link growing up from a 9-year-old child to a more mature 16-year-old, I wanted lots of characters to fulfill various roles.

After obtaining the [[Kokiri Sword]] and a [[Deku Shield]] to arm himself, Link visits the Deku Tree, who explains that Link's nightmares are the result of a great evil descending upon Hyrule. He reveals that he has been cursed with a fatal disease, and that Link can break the curse if he is willing to do so. Link accepts, and goes [[Inside the Deku Tree]]. After obtaining the [[Fairy Slingshot]] and defeating [[Queen Gohma]], Link returns outside. The Deku Tree informs Link that he was too late to purge the curse, and that he is dying. The Deku Tree tells Link the creation story of [[Hyrule]] and the [[Triforce]], and reveals that [[Ganondorf]], the [[Gerudo]] King, wanted the three [[Spiritual Stones]] in order to enter the [[Sacred Realm]] and obtain the Triforce; the Deku Tree refused to relinquish the [[Kokiri's Emerald]], one of the Stones, so Ganondorf cursed him. Before passing, the Deku Tree entrusts Link with the Kokiri's Emerald and orders him to seek out the "Princess of Destiny" in [[Hyrule Castle (Ocarina of Time)|Hyrule Castle]]. | After obtaining the [[Kokiri Sword]] and a [[Deku Shield]] to arm himself, Link visits the Deku Tree, who explains that Link's nightmares are the result of a great evil descending upon Hyrule.

Upon leaving, Link decides to run away from Kokiri Forest, as Mido mistakenly believes that Link killed the Deku Tree and has spread the rumor across the other Kokiri. Before he leaves, Saria meets Link in private and gives him the [[Fairy Ocarina]] as something to remember her by. After meeting [[Kaepora Gaebora]], Link travels across [[Hyrule Field]], during which he visits [[Lon Lon Ranch]] and befriends a horse named [[Epona]], before arriving at Hyrule Castle. Link sneaks into the castle courtyard and meets the young [[Zelda (Ocarina of Time)|Princess Zelda]], who explains that the Triforce has the ability to grant wishes. She informs Link that Ganondorf has falsely pledged allegiance to her father, the King, and that Link must obtain the Sacred Stones and enter the Sacred Realm before Ganondorf does. She gives him a [[Zelda's Letter|letter]] that grants Link her royal authority, and he is escorted out by [[Impa (Ocarina if Time)|Impa]], Zelda's bodyguard, who also teaches him [[Zelda's Lullaby]]. | Upon leaving, Link decides to run away from Kokiri Forest, as Mido mistakenly believes that Link killed the Deku Tree and has spread the rumor across the other Kokiri.

With all three Spiritual Stones, Link returns to Hyrule Castle, but as he reaches [[Hyrule Castle Town]], he witnesses his nightmare come true; Impa and Zelda flee the town on a white horse, the latter tossing the [[Ocarina of Time]] into the moat - Link then attempts to face Ganondorf, the man chasing them, only to be easily knocked aside. Link obtains the Ocarina of Time, and receives a vision from Zelda - she reveals that Ganondorf has murdered the King and is hunting her to obtain the Ocarina of Time, so she teaches him the [[Song of Time]] so he can access the Sacred Realm. Link journeys to the [[Temple of Time]], places the three Spiritual Stones in their pedestals, and plays the Song of Time, revealing a hidden chamber housing the [[Master Sword]]. Link pulls it from the pedestal, only to be frozen in time - before losing consciousness, he witnesses Ganondorf entering the Sacred Realm, mocking Link for obtaining the Stones for him. | With all three Spiritual Stones, Link returns to Hyrule Castle, but as he reaches [[Castle Town|Hyrule Castle Town]], he witnesses his nightmare come true; Impa and Zelda flee the town on a white horse, the latter tossing the [[Ocarina of Time]] into the moat - Link then attempts to face Ganondorf, the man chasing them, only to be easily knocked aside.
