Plot

The Link and Zelda tale spans many generations and hundreds of years. Ocarina of Time is an early chapter in the narrative that describes how it all began when the dark lord Ganon was the mortal king of thieves known as Ganondorf. Link, a young man living in the ancient forest of Kokiri, realizes that he has been chosen by unseen powers to rescue the country. He teams up with his friend, young princess Zelda, in a race to find the three magical gems that hold the secret to opening the Door of Time, which has been guarding the famous Master Sword for many years. 

The entrance to the Sacred Realm may be opened with the Ocarina of Time and Master Sword. The mythical artifact of all power, the Triforce, is housed within the holy realm. Whoever touches it has complete control. The land will attain endless prosperity if a pure soul touches it. If a wicked being touches it, the world will be plunged into perpetual darkness and horrors. Joining the game, you will help Link and Zelda go ten years into the future as a grown men and return to childhood in order to solve the mysteries of Hyrule and cooperate with the mystic sages to vanquish Ganondorf and imprison his soul in the abyss.

Gameplay

Ocarina of Time is a fantasy action-adventure genre. You'll control Link, the series' protagonist, from a third-person perspective in the game's vast three-dimensional world. Use the arrow keys to control Link to fight with swords and shields and flexibly change with other weapons such as bullets, bombs, and spells to destroy enemies quickly.

Link can collect new items and weapons along the way or learn new abilities to increase his power. He can collect these items in dungeons or in the afterlife and complete quests for rewards. The game offers several side quests to help Link trade items with other characters in the game. As a result, Link can obtain the two-handed Biggoron Sword, the most powerful sword in the game, or a horse, which helps him move faster, and many other items.

Throughout the game, Link will learn twelve soothing tunes from Ocarina of Time in turn. They will help Link solve music-based puzzles to explore the game's plot and teleport to locations containing previously solved puzzles. In addition, the latter part of the plot implies that the Ocarina of Time will lead Link to the Master Sword in the Temple of Time. Possessing this sword will allow Link to be able to use and switch back and forth between his two versions: Link of the present and Link maturity seven years later.
