The base game mechanic behind Ocarina of Time is it's titular "time travel" concept in which the hero travels backwards and forwards seven years in time by removing the Master Sword from it's 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 villain 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.
