'''''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time''''' is the fifth installment in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. It is preceded by ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'' and followed by ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''. ''Ocarina of Time'' was praised by critics and players alike for its intuitive storyline and time travel mechanics

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.

==Gameplay==

At a certain point in the game, the player may choose to complete a side quest where the player obtains Link's horse Epona. This allows the player to cross Hyrule at a much faster pace than before.

''Ocarina of Time'' was the first game in the franchise to feature several vastly different races. The different races are based on the different terrains throughout the main regions of the game.

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]].
