Using his new powers, Link must travel across the broken Hyrule, and across time, to re-assemble the shattered forces of Good for an epic final showdown with the King of Evil.Īccording to Hyrule Historia, this game takes place fourth in the overall timeline of the series and its events cause a three-way split in time, with each Alternate Timeline branching off from its events. All is not lost though: there exists one final hope in Link, who is now old enough to wield the Master Sword and accept his true destiny as the Hero Of Time. Link is sealed away, and when he wakes up seven years later, Hyrule has become a dark and twisted version of its former self. Unfortunately, things don't go according to plan. This is merely the start of an epic journey that takes Link from the sanctuary of his Hidden Elf Village to the magnificent Hyrule Castle and then to all points of Hyrule in a quest to stop the evil thief-king Ganondorf from seizing the power of the omnipotent Triforce. Following some prophetic dreams, he is gifted a fairy named Navi by the Great Deku Tree - the guardian of the forest - and asked for his help to remove an evil curse. The story follows a young boy named Link, the only member of his forest village without a fairy. It's also the first Zelda game that Eiji Aonuma worked on. It is the first 3D game in the series and the first Fifth Generation title, and it set the standard for all the later games in the series, with its then-unheard-of style of cinematic presentation and introduction of many mainstay elements of the franchise. Ocarina of Time is the fifth entry in The Legend of Zelda series, originally released for the Nintendo 64 in November 1998 in Japan and North America, followed by Europe in December.
