Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Ocarina of Time is the fifth entry in The Legend of Zelda series, originally released for the Nintendo 64 in November, 1998. 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.The story follows a young boy named Link, the only member of his forest village without a fairy. 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. 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.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Unfortunately, things don't go according to plan. Link is sealed away, and when he wakes up seven years later, Hyrule has become a dark and twisted version of its former self. 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. 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.According 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. Its immediate chronological sequel starring the same Link is Majora's Mask, which takes place after Link has been sent back in time and is transported to Termina while on a search for Navi.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })The game has had numerous rereleases — in particular, Master Quest, a preorder bonus for The Wind Waker which included the original game along with a second version (originally intended for release on the 64DD add-on) with harder dungeons.The game had a remake produced by Grezzo for the Nintendo 3DS in 2011, titled The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, which updated the visuals and controls, but left the story, musicnote save for a newly orchestrated piece over the porting team's half of the end credits, world, and even some of the glitches and bugs intact. The Master Quest version of dungeons was also an unlockable in the 3DS remakenote It's unlocked once one game of classic Ocarina of Time is completed and Ganon is defeated - this time adding extra twists by flipping the entire game world horizontally in the tradition of the Wii version of Twilight Princess, but also doubling the damage Link takes from enemies and obstacles.Unmarked spoilers ahead. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_10b6b5f7 | comment |
Cherry Tapping: A lengthy yet surprisingly effective method of battling Dark Link is using the broken Giant's Knife. Using the stab attack with Link's default sword will make Dark Link jump onto the blade and deliver an unavoidable attack. However, since the broken sword has no blade to jump on, the stab will always hit. Just be prepared to do it a lot. Just bring Biggoron's Sword instead. He goes down faster. | |

Card-Carrying Villain: Ganondorf is called the King of Evil at several points, and "Great" is added on at the start of his boss fight. He calls himself as the Great Evil King when defeated, while Malon, in an utterly optional conversation about Ingo, uses "the Evil King" to refer to him. | |

Fake Longevity | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_14184bc7 | comment |
Fake Longevity: Without exploiting any glitches, it takes hours to do a 100% completion run because trekking and backtracking through the world, especially the expansive Hyrule Field is painfully slow. A big problem are the warps you have as a child aren't well interconnected. Link has no means of running faster as a child or adult (unless you enjoy the fun of running backwards). The Pegasus Boots are absent, and the Bunny Hood does nothing except prevent Stalchildren from appearing at night. Sheik's warps are better, but only unlock as the story progresses and also have the same problem where you can't use them to get to places like Zora's Domain or the Gerudo Fortress quickly. | |

Magic Missile Storm | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_144cc66b | comment |
Magic Missile Storm: Ganondorf does this as a Desperation Attack. It's basically the same attack as usual, just five at once in a wide spread and homing in on Link. As the missiles are the same as usual, you can just reflect all five back if you do it right. If you're feeling bold, charge up a Spin Attack and release it when he launches it. Otherwise, use this chance for a free Light Arrow shot. | |

Ambiguous Innocence: Fado, the blonde Kokiri girl. She has a childish and innocent quality to her, and often relies on Mido. Yet once you reach adulthood she disappears from the forest, with no reference from anyone. You only see her during the Biggoron's Sword quest, where she makes you give her a dead guy's medicine. She then gives you his item, with an eerie statement about people lost in the forest becoming Stalfos, complete with her giggling about it. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Ocarina of Time is easily darker than the previous games in the Zelda franchise, as it deals very explicitly with subjects like war and the large-scale devastation caused by it. It is especially prevalent in the latter half of the game with Adult Link: the moment you first step into Hyrule Market seven years after drawing the Master Sword is quintessential nightmare fuel. And from there, you rediscover Hyrule in its newly distorted form, with perennially ominous skies consuming the land and at least one genocide in the making (ie. the Gorons on Death Mountain are slated to become lunch for the ancient dragon Volvagia, revived by Ganondorf as a warning to any who would dare oppose him). Then you come across such settings as the Forest Temple, Shadow Temple, the nether regions of Kakariko Village's well, and Ganon's Castle (erected where Hyrule Castle once stood). Although it was subsequently surpassed by its direct sequel Majora's Mask in terms of overall darkness, there can be little doubt that the first 3D Zelda had plenty of creepiness to go along with the softer nuances it carried over from the NES/SNES games. | |

Early Game Hell | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_1527d90d | comment |
Early Game Hell: Downplayed. The 3DS version's Master Quest mode not only has the harder dungeon layout from the titular expansion, but also doubles the damage Link takes and flips the entire world horizontally. This makes the normally-easy first dungeon a lot more challenging, as Link has no way to heal himself without finding hearts at that point, and even the lowly Keese deal a full heart of damage at a point Link only has three. However, the game gets more manageable once you complete the Deku Tree and find bottles, allowing you to carry Milk and other helpful stuff. | |

Dummied Out | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_1653843c | comment |
Dummied Out: Quite a few things. Most notably the Wind and Ice Medallions (and their associated Temples, although the Wind Temple survived in a somewhat altered state as the Forest Temple, and the Forest portion of Ganon's Castle and the Ice Cavern have more in common with the scrapped Wind and Ice Temples than the Forest and Water Temples) and... an Arwing as a fightable enemy, which was originally used to test Volvagia's attack pattern and Z-Targeting. The Medallions were going to be C-items, but their effects were either removed or recycled as different items. Example being Din's Fire, and a puzzle that requires it having the Fire Medallion's design present on the spot where you're supposed to use it (it was removed in the 3DS version). Gerudo's Fortress has an extra Heart Piece that is inaccessible except with cheats/hacking — it's only present when Link is a child, but Link can't enter the area until he's an adult because a guard blocks his path when he's a child. The English-language release contains the original Japanese version, which can only be accessed by using a cheat device or an emulator to change the game's region code. The same is true for both GameCube rereleases as well as Master Quest. Some code from the abandoned 64DD development remains in the game- using hacks to activate the code only causes the game to crash, however. The code seems to be intended to allow the cartridge to access the disk drive. The game also contains leftover code for an interesting attack - shooting beams from Link's sword! Some hacks have partially restored the ability, which can harm or kill distant enemies but doesn't actually appear to hit them: the projectile briefly appears in front of Link and fades away without moving. Also, it is used the same way as a spin attack (holding down the button and charging up), rather than being at full health. It isn't immediately clear if this was intended to replace the spin attack when Z-targeting was used, or why exactly it was taken out. In Zora's Fountain, there is a cliff behind Lord Jabu-Jabu that is completely inaccessible. There's a spawn point there, and the cliff textures extend quite a bit beyond the masking trees, but none of it is used. There's also a dummied-out ocarina pedestal that was supposed to appear in front of Jabu-Jabu. It was also originally possible to jump off the waterfall in Zora's Fountain to go to Zora's River, but it was blocked by a fence for unknown reasons in the final game, as seen here with an also-unused Triforce area transition. In both this game and Majora's Mask, Navi/Tatl has a description for Gold Skulltulas, but it's unused since they can't be Z-Targeted. The same is true for Dead Hand's Hands in OoT. | |

Defeat Means Friendship | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_19769f50 | comment |
A really weird example happens to Ingo after beating him in a horse race with Epona. First he becomes desperate because Link gets to keep the mare that was originally meant to be a present for Ganondorf, so he locks him up. What happens after Link escapes, anyway? He suddenly becomes nice the next time you enter the ranch. According to Miyamoto, the plan was to have Ingo burn down the ranch in a fit of madness after you beat him, but then someone asked what would happen if you re-entered the ranch, so it was dropped. | |

Dual-World Gameplay: You can use the Temple of Time to go back and forth to do things like plant seeds that grow into flying platforms to get Pieces of Heart. You also have to trick out time to get the Song of Storms and get through the Spirit Temple. | |

Violation of Common Sense | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_1b2b1d2c | comment |
Violation of Common Sense: There's an unusual method to avoiding ReDeads: Equipping the Iron Boots before getting close. Re Deads detect you based on sound, not sight. The Iron Boots are clunky and noisy...to the player. But the Re Deads will ignore you. This is because the game registers the sound of Link's slower walking animation differently from that of his regular walking. As long as you don't pull out or put away a weapon, you'll be completely invisible to them. | |

Bishōnen: Adult Link is said to look pretty dang good. The Poe Collector says he could run a different sort of business (what he means is not clarified) if he had Link's looks, while Nabooru regrets getting captured and failing to keep her promise in the Past once she sees what Link grows into. And this gets a bit creepy when you save Sabooro, who calls Link a cute kid. | |

Diabolus ex Machina: When Link pulls out the Master Sword, it (or possibly Rauru) puts him in a coma until he is an adult, which allows Ganondorf to take the Triforce unopposed. While Rauru claims afterwards that the Sword demands an adult wielder, this is not foreshadowed beforehand, and it is contradicted in both earlier and later games. | |

Kid Hero | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_2673425b | comment |
Kid Hero: Link and Zelda, at first. This is actually a deconstruction; while Zelda is very clever and knowledgeable, her plan turns out to be Awesome, but Impractical and actually ends up aiding the villain because she didn't know as much as she thought she did. While 9-year-old Link racks up an impressive kill count, Ganondorf painfully establishes that he's still not strong enough in a Final Boss Preview. The kids thought they could be heroes and save the day, but they were defeated by their inability to acknowledge the gaps in their understanding or their delusions of grandeur. In other words, they didn't have the maturity to be heroes yet. Perfectly understandable kid behavior, but because they were playing with forces they didn't understand, the consequences were severe. Zelda acknowledges all of this after Ganondorf is sealed away, and it might be why the Master Sword insisted on Link growing up before wielding it. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_27b2bccc | comment |
No Flow in CGI: The designers at least have Zelda's dresses warp a little to show some animation. Ganondorf's cape also animates quite well during the fight against him. When he's beaten, though, it moves straight through his body as he collapses. Played Straight with Link's hat, which is stuck in the same downward arc no matter how he positions his head, which is noticeable as all games following Majora's Mask made sure to have it very fluidly animated (issues with clipping into his shield not withstanding). | |

Easter Egg | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_29a39f6 | comment |
Easter Egg: In Dodongo's Cavern, the infamous "L is Real 2401" texture from Super Mario 64 was reused as an in-joke to tease people who still belived the sign means something (per Word of God, it doesn't mean anything) and as a nod to Ocarina of Time being built on a heavily modified version of Mario 64's game engine. In the remake, one of the rooms of the Thieves' Hideout (specifically, the one that is above the room closest to the cell you are thrown into if you are caught) contains a poster of the Link from Skyward Sword behind two crates. Similar posters can be found on the wall of the Bombchu Shop in Hyrule Castle Town, and in the bedroom at Lon Lon Ranch as an adult. When using the ocarina, you can shift the pitch with the analog stick. This isn't mentioned anywhere in the instruction manual, and has absolutely no effect on gameplay, but it's a nice little touch that makes it closer to the real thing. There are portraits of Mario, Peach, Luigi, Bowser, and Yoshi viewable from the castle's courtyard. These were replaced with a New Super Mario Bros.-like scene in 3D. You can even shoot the window for rupees! There is a disturbing and downright depressing easter egg. After retrieving the Ocarina of Time from the castle's moat a telepathic message from Princess Zelda tells you to go to the Temple of Time. Just in case you don't understand this message, there is a guard in one of Hyrule Castle Town's back alleys who was supposed to give you the same message. For most players this is unnecessary so they never even look for him, but if you do you'll find the guard, hear his message, then see him die. Most players never knew he was there, so the majority of the time he'll die without ever completing his mission and without any hope that Princess Zelda or Hyrule can be saved. | |

Limited Wardrobe: Everyone is still wearing the same clothes after seven years, meaning either Hyrule is an extremely smelly place to live, or there are a lot of nudist wash days going on behind the scenes. | |

The Bad Guy Wins: One of the few games in history in which dying invokes a canonical timeline. There is no in-game indication that this is the case, however. Canonically, Link lost the final battle against Ganondorf, but even then, it's not clarified which phase of the battle did him in. | |

Scrolling Text: One of the game's major drawbacks; the speed of scrolling text is vexingly slow, coming up one letter at a time. There is no real way to speed it up; sometimes you can skip whole speechis (and completely miss what's said) by hitting the B button, but usually only if you have already spoken to the person in question, and sometimes not even then, and sometimes there is no way at all to skip the long-winded speeches. | |

Sword Beam | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_348c1707 | comment |
The game also contains leftover code for an interesting attack - shooting beams from Link's sword! Some hacks have partially restored the ability, which can harm or kill distant enemies but doesn't actually appear to hit them: the projectile briefly appears in front of Link and fades away without moving. Also, it is used the same way as a spin attack (holding down the button and charging up), rather than being at full health. It isn't immediately clear if this was intended to replace the spin attack when Z-targeting was used, or why exactly it was taken out. | |

Bonus Dungeon | |

Bonus Dungeon: The Gerudo Training Grounds — a series of puzzles and challenges that earn you keys to access the final prize: Ice Arrows. Useful for 100% Completion and extra attack power, not particularly useful for anything else in the game. note Though they do have a unique interaction with Bongo Bongo where you can freeze his hand, causing him to open his eye and leave himself open while he tries to break it with his free hand. Downplayed with the Bottom of the Well- you're required to go in to get the Lens of Truth, but most of the rest of the dungeon is optional, just containing some Gold Skulltulas. | |

Good Is Dumb: Despite that basic Gerudo guards are one of the weakest enemies in the entire game (taking one hit from anything to knock out) and Link could probably take on the entire Gerudo Fortress and win, if he's spotted he will always raise his hands and let himself be carted back to his cell. Though since the Gerudo themselves aren't evil (except for Ganondorf and Twinrova) it comes full circle, as they just throw him with all his gear into the same pit he's escaped from the last sixteen times they did that. | |

Of course, it's then your mission to go back and play it to him so he can later teach it to you in the future. Master Quest has an inversion: In the Spirit Temple, you create a chest as Adult Link then go back in time where it's somehow still there. Note that it wasn't there the first time you visited the temple. | |

Bittersweet Ending: You manage to defeat Ganondorf and restore peace to Hyrule, but a lot of people are lost in the future. Ruto, Darunia and Saria become Sages and their friends and loved ones mourn their absence. Zelda says goodbye to Link and sends him back to the past; while this fortunately means that one timeline's Hyrule will be protected from Ganondorf thanks to Link thwarting his plans before he even puts them into place, that timeline has its own bittersweetness: Navi leaves Link once sent back to the Temple of Time; and the Great Deku Tree remains dead. The final scene of the game is Young Link entering Zelda's courtyard and her pleased expression at seeing him. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_422f23f9 | comment |
Power-Up Food: Lon Lon Milk, which can be acquired by beating a simple minigame at Lon Lon Ranch. It instantly refills 5 hearts on drinking it, and you can get free refills of it any time you return, and you can take two drinks of it per bottle, even back to back, for a total of 10 hearts per bottle. | |

No Fair Cheating | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_42d9daf9 | comment |
No Fair Cheating: Using a teleport song while delivering a time-sensitive item as part of the Biggoron Sword quest will reduce the timer to 1 second upon arriving at your destination, causing it to immediately spoil. Likewise, if you use a teleport song during the Running Man contest, the timer will skip ahead to several seconds before the time you're supposed to beat. For Dampé's game and the Fire Arrows, you have to manually wait for the time of day to change. | |

"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_44989f6f | comment |
"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: The entire game from acquiring the Master Sword onwards is a result of Link and Zelda being in over their heads for trying to take on Ganondorf and directly foil his plans, instead ending up giving him exactly what he wants, which Zelda painfully admits post-Time Skip. The correct solution was to simply expose Ganondorf's conspiracy to the proper authorities before it started. After the final battle, a now less-naive Link is sent back in time to before he first met Zelda, and he does exactly that. | |

Drop the Hammer | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_465966a3 | comment |
Drop the Hammer: Adult Link gets to mess around with the Megaton Hammer. It's a bit more powerful than the Master Sword, can open up holes in the ground like bombs do, can destroy rocks you can't destroy with bombs, and is useful for caving in several of the tougher boss' skulls (it is needed to defeat Volvagia, the boss of the Fire Temple, where you find the hammer, but you don't need to use the Master Sword or Biggoron's Sword for this fight; the hammer alone will kill the dragon. In the Final Boss fight, you will need to use the hammer for the first stage against Ganon if you don't have Biggoron's Sword).note That said, Biggoron's Sword does far more damage, according to this damage chart on Zelda Wiki, so it's recommended you pick it up if damage output is what you're looking for. | |

Getting Crap Past the Radar | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_4b86a724 | comment |
Getting Crap Past the Radar: The Poe collector suggests they could run a "different sort of business" if they were as attractive as Link. Nabooru promising to "do something great for [Link]" if he can get her the Silver Gauntlets. It seems innocent enough until you're an adult and, upon seeing Link All Grown Up and looking so handsome, she expresses regret that she didn't get to keep her promise. Just what was she going to do if Twinrova hadn't captured her, assuming she didn't wait until she'd succeeded before doing it, and/or had succeeded and thus there was just the matter of doing it? You can Hookshot onto the nipples of the statue in the Spirit Temple (the one at the entrance of the boss room). Only the nipples and only while directly looking at them. | |

Useless Useful Spell: Farore's Wind is a highly situational spell that serves no purpose other than to teleport back to the dungeon's entrance. As some of the levels are very linear in design, this is something you don't want to do. And even if you needed to, its far easier to just Save & Quit your game instead. | |

All of the Other Reindeer: Link is the Boy Without A Fairy, and thus teased by all the "other" Kokiri...in the Backstory, at least. The game begins with Navi bonding to Link. Though most of the Kokiri are happy for him; only Link's rival Mido continues to be a douche about it. In the future, on the other hand, Link is still the odd one out as the only outsider who does have a fairy. | |

Deadly Dust Storm: The Spirit Temple is beyond a stretch of desert that has a constant sand storm. Link needs the help of the Phantom Guide (just a Poe that isn't programmed to be hostile) to lead him through safely. Or, alternately, you can figure out on your own where to turn and in which direction, and once you reach the crate in the sand, you can leave the Poe behind and make a beeline for the exit since following it in the loop isn't necessary to get in. | |

Songs in the Key of Lock: Just as when its predecessors in the franchise often removed something barring your progress (except in A Link to the Past), Link's ocarina can be used for the same purpose. Zelda's Lullaby will trigger mechanisms if Link stands on "the Crest of the Royal Family" aka the Triforce; the Song Of Time removes and summons blocks with the Door Of Time's design on it, starting with the Door Of Time itself; and the Song Of Storms opens up the Bottom Of The Well. | |

You warp back 7 years and play the song, letting the guy learn it when you do so. At no time is a legitimate origin of the song established. However, the same song turning up in Majora's Mask may provide some degree of closure. | |

Money for Nothing: Rupees are easily and rapidly obtained from the surrounding environment, whether from breaking pots, killing enemies, or occasionally even finding them in treasure chests. The same goes for every form of ammunition except the seldom-used Bombchus. Combine this with the fact that nearly every piece of equipment in the game can be obtained for free, and money becomes very nearly useless. Even if you're going for 100% Completion, the only other places where you need to spend money are a handful of minigames. Money can still be useful if you want to buy potions, which you can't get any other way, or if you manage to use up all of the Bombchus you get from treasure chests. | |

Virtue Is Weakness | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_556a4863 | comment |
Virtue Is Weakness: Completely inverted at one point: when Ganondorf's human form is defeated, Zelda calls him a "pitiful man" and remarks that without a kind and righteous heart he could not hope to control the Triforce. She'd have gone on, but then the castle started coming down. | |

Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe: The Great Deku Tree speaks like this, probably to signify just how old he is. The ad campaign (linked to in the first page quote) also liberally applied this trope. The trailer shown for the remake at the 2011 E3 (and downloadable to the 3DS) is a remake of the above trailer and thus also uses it. | |

Nature Spirit: The Deku Tree is both a sapient tree and the guardian of the forest. His blessing gives the Kokiri their immortality and eternal youth, while keeping monsters out. It counts as Five-Second Foreshadowing that the Deku Babas near him are USUALLY the first enemies Link faces. You can fight Mad Scrubs and a Wolfos in the Sacred Forest Meadow if you know the route, though why would you go there so early in the game? | |

Boss Rush: The remake adds an option to rechallenge previous bosses, with only the number of hearts gained from the previous bosses and minimal items, with the ability to save your best time to beat each boss. Beating all the bosses in this way unlocks the Boss Gauntlet mode, in which you fight every boss from Gohma to Twinrova, starting with only five heart containers and some items and earning one item per boss, which becomes three hearts in the MQ version, in which enemies also inflict double damage, just to make things interesting.. | |

The Deku Sticks. Sure, they're fragile and require refilling, but they're also stronger than the Kokiri Sword and the strongest of your early weapons(in the Nintendo 64 version, anyway—the 3DS port nerfs them into being a genuine Joke Weapon). | |

Self-Inflicted Hell: You can go the whole game without figuring this out, but talk to one Goron in particular about the starvation threat the Gorons face early in the game. According to what he says, the Gorons can eat other rocks and meet their dietary needs, they're just so used to the ones inside Dodongo's Cavern that they won't. Considering the fact that the Gorons live in a cave carved into rock, on a mountain, this is akin to "starving" to death in a pantry because you're used to fine dining. | |

Made even worse when you're only given three hearts to fight all bosses who can potentially kill you with one hit due to double damage. Yes, the game is forcing you to do a Minimalist Run. Master Quest in general, which redesigns the dungeons to produce trickier puzzles and more confusing layouts (with the major exception of the Water Temple, which was made easier). | |

The Forest Temple also qualifies. It's an anomaly in the context of the game—whereas all of the other temples look like, well, temples, the Forest Temple is more like a giant, derelict mansion frozen in time and slowly being reclaimed by nature, and it has some truly bizarre architectural choices. Oh, and it's inhabited by the undead on top of that. | |

Pause Abuse: You can use a variant of this when racing the ghost of Dampe. Since his tomb is one of the few locations that warp songs won't work in, you can abuse the error message playing one generates. You are free to move during the textbox, and it won't deduct time from the countdown. | |

Extended Gameplay: "Master Quest" is a version of the game that comes with different and harder dungeon designs, for people who like challenging puzzles. The 3DS version takes it Up to Eleven by making Link take double damage, and mirrors the environment, to mess with your muscle memory. | |

MacGuffin Delivery Service: Ganondorf is seeking the three Spiritual Stones which unlock the way to the Triforce. Link obligingly collects them, opens up the door, and leaves it wide open for Ganondorf to swoop in and grab all the power he ever wanted. It's been joked that the easiest way to win the game is to get the first Spiritual Stone, save, turn off your console and never play again. | |

Continue Your Mission, Dammit!: Navi is perhaps most known for her habit of routinely nagging the player about the current major quest objective, regardless of where (or when) they are or what they're currently doing. This can result in her telling Link to check out the strange clouds over Death Mountain when he's already standing at the summit, or when he's a child and there are no strange clouds yet. | |

Jerkass Has a Point: Mido has a slight example of this, although his "point" is not intentional; at the beginning of the game, Mido refuses to let Link see the Great Deku Tree until Link gets a sword and shield. Mido made up that requirement on the spot just to be a thorn in Link's side; however, it turns out there are Deku Babas in the way who attack Link, so Link ended up needing that shield and sword after all! Saria even lampshades this if you speak to her afterwards. Thanks for being a jerk, Mido! | |

Guide Dang It! | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It! How were you supposed to know you could walk past ReDeads or Gibdos and they wouldn't notice you? How were you supposed to know you could jump the outer wall of Lon Lon Ranch to escape from Ingo? note (Though some players report having been able to jump over Ingo's gate and escape that way.) How were you supposed to know you needed to play the Sun's Song where the lone ReDead was to get his Piece Of Heart? How were you supposed to know Bonooru even remembered which ocarina you used to record a song? note Even if you get the notes right, if you recorded the song with the Fairy Ocarina, Bonooru won't recognize it when you come back toting the Ocarina of Time instead. Therefore, you have to immediately head for Lake Hylia after getting the Ocarina (and Song) of Time if you want to use Pierre as a Hookshot target before you finish the Forest Temple. Stuck in the Water Temple? Did you remember to check behind the chest that contained the Longshot? There's a Song of Time block lodged in the floor there, which, when dispelled, opens up a secret passage. And when you raise the water in the central tower, make sure to sink down to the bottom to get to the hidden basement floor (and the mandatory key that's hidden there). | |

Insecurity System: The entrance to the Sacred Realm has some pretty nifty security features, such as needing three magical Plot Coupons, a magical ocarina, a magical song and to top it off a final seal that can only be broken by The Chosen One.... but with the option of putting said Chosen One in stasis for however long it takes to make him mature enough, the fact that the entrance stays open while the Chosen One is in stasis, and apparently a lack of documentation on those little tidbits of information. At least, Zelda didn't know about it. Epileptic Trees and Wild Mass Guessing abound as to whether that was Justified or not. | |

Stupid Surrender | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_7b0a964a | comment |
Stupid Surrender: When sneaking through either Hyrule Castle or the Gerudo's Fortress, Link will remain rooted to the spot if a guard sees him, rather than letting you run away or use any of your numerous weapons. This makes no sense at Gerudo's Fortress, since the guards can be knocked out with a single arrow, and there are times when Link actually has to fight some of them, so why he throws up his hands and surrenders goes unexplained. | |

Boss in Mook Clothing: The Iron Knuckles, which you fight three times in the Spirit Temple and twice in Ganondorf's castle. They move slow as molasses while walking, but they swing their axes hard and can knock four hearts off you in one swing and send you flying across the room. On top of that, unless you fight them with the Biggoron Sword (which takes them down in a few hits), they are very resilient and take a long time to wear down. Making matters worse is that the heavy armor falls off at half health, letting them run at you. It is strongly recommended that you bring bottled fairies with you for these fights if you're new to the game. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_7dbd52b8 | comment |
Light Is Good: One of the Sages, Rauru, is the Sage of Light and works with Link and the rest of the Sages to help defeat Ganondorf. The only arrow upgrade that Link has to receive (from Zelda herself) is the Light Arrow, and the player has to use it against the battle against Ganondorf. | |

Malevolent Architecture | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_7eaf99d | comment |
Malevolent Architecture There is a trap that looks like a door and will fall down to damage Link if he either tries to open it or hits it with a weapon. You can use the latter effect to reveal these while keeping Link out of harm's way. Because of how two elevators in Dodongo's Cavern work, you could mis-time your jump and wind up in a pit of lava that hurts Link as he stands on it. Newcomers will often die to this. Jabu-Jabu has some strange red... nerve... things... that start wiggling about when Link approaches, and don't stop until he leaves. You need the Boomerang to stun them and make them platforms, but if you hit it with another weapon, or otherwise touch it yourself... well... Also in Jabu-Jabu, there are the differently-colored "slimy things" connected to Barinade's Parasitic Tentacles that will zap Link silly if he touches them and even emit electricity if a ranged weapon hits them without zapping Link. They don't move or actively attack Link, but trying to push past them WILL hurt. A lot. So go hunt down those Parasitic Tentacles if you want to remove them. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!: After you unseal the Temple of Time and grab the Master Sword, Ganondorf shows up to claim the Triforce ahead of you, thanking you for doing all the heavy lifting for him. Oops. Zelda laments this as well: She didn't expect the Master Sword to suddenly spirit Link away seven years into the future while Ganondorf conquers all of Hyrule in the meantime. In fact, you opening the door was literally the only way Ganondorf could have ever gotten his hands on the Triforce, though Zelda did not know that at the time. And then does it again by sending Link back to his childhood. Though this leads into the Child Timeline, it causes there to not be a Hero to oppose Ganondorf when he does break out as promised, leading to the backstory of The Wind Waker. | |

Easy Level Trick | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_8125d8f6 | comment |
Easy Level Trick: Getting the Gold Scale from the fishing minigame makes navigating the Water Temple much less tedious, since you can simply dive through several passages instead of having to constantly equip and deequip the Iron Boots all the time. Getting the free Blue Tunic by unfreezing King Zora beforehand helps too, since using it means you won't have to worry about drowning anymore. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: The King is mentioned in the cutscene where you meet Zelda for the first time and later by Darunia (who refers to him as his "sworn brother".) The soldier in the Back Alley tells Link that Ganondorf betrayed the King. He's never mentioned after, not even in the context of what happened to him when Ganon took over. Akira Himekawa decided that Ganondorf killed the King in his coup d'état. Considering that's what Agahnim did in his gig, it's a relatively safe bet. Lord Jabu-Jabu seems to have met some undefined fate in the future. Navi. She just flies away. It's likely she goes to the new Deku Tree's side, since Majora's Mask begins with Link searching for her in the Lost Woods. As Link enters the barren wasteland of the Market, several people Link normally sees seems to have disappeared until the credits. | |

Eldritch Abomination: Bongo Bongo. This "Phantom Shadow Beast" is by far the most alien enemy Link faces throughout the game. Although it takes on a vaguely anthropomorphic form, it's doubtful if it was ever even remotely human. Considering it manifests itself as a super-fast liquid monster outside of the Shadow Temple, it may not even have a true form. The only upside is that since it is a boss, it can be defeated. | |

Unnecessary Combat Roll | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_8a0bc642 | comment |
Unnecessary Combat Roll: Link's "attack" default move is a short forward roll. It can break crates, knock stuff out of trees, and give you some extra distance in jumping, but that's about it. The only combat purpose it is good for is rolling under Ganon's legs. It gets you in position to attack his tail without shooting him in the face or taking time to circle around. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_8a88ed49 | comment |
Mini-Boss: All dungeons except the first one (two in the case of the Forest Temple, namely Stalfos and Meg), and some of them (the Lizafos in Dodongo's Cavern, the Stalfos in the Forest Temple, who are first fought as a duo and then a sequential trio, the Flare Dancer in the Fire Temple) are fought twice (in the case of Iron Knuckles in the Spirit Temple, three times; Deadhand is fought in both the well and the Shadow Temple, and you have to contend with four Gerudo guards with double swords in the Thieves' Hideout, which, besides them and wandering guards that need to be avoided, are the only enemies in the building). Notably, the Water Temple has Dark Link (formerly the Final Boss of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link), and Ganon's Tower has three pairs of prior mini-bosses (the Dinafols, who you will be meeting for the first time if you didn't enter the Gerudo Training Grounds, the Stalfos, and the Iron Knuckles, who thankfully can be woken up one at a time) before reaching Ganondorf, and an additional mini-boss pair of Stalfos for your escape after defeating Ganondorf. | |

Joke Item | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_8af721f7 | comment |
Joke Item: The Giant's Knife, an optional weapon you can buy as Adult Link in Goron City. It costs 200 rupees, it does as much damage as the Kokiri Sword, you can't spin attack with it or use your shield with it, and it breaks and becomes useless after three hits. You can repair it up to 8 times for 200 rupees apiece, but these only allow one more attack each time. Thankfully, you can replace it with the truly useful Biggoron Sword. Zig-Zagged with the Stone of Agony. It would make the controller rumble when Link was near a hidden treasure chest or grotto. However, the Virtual Console rerelease removes the rumble feature, making the item useless. Even the operations guide says that it's useless in context. Thankfully, its 3DS counterpart, which serves the same purpose, instead chimes and shines on the screen when it reacts. Played straight with empty bottles which you can use to reflect Phantom Ganon and Ganondorf's attacks instead of using your sword. | |

Timey-Wimey Ball: The Master Sword allows you to travel back in time. Sometimes you actually can change the past from the future (such as Heart Pieces and other collectibles), other times you can't. One plot event depends on creating a Stable Time Loop. Eiji Aonuma confirms that the time travel at the end of the game created a split in the timeline explicitly because Link used Back To The Future-based time travel; one timeline where Link returned to the past (and arrested Ganondorf, altering a fixed event), one timeline where Link disappeared to the first timeline (thereby altering only flux events), and one timeline where he disappeared from past and present (a logical interim timeline between existing in the present and then using time travel to exist in the past). These three timelines have their own sequels. | |

Self-Imposed Challenge | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_8d4fcaa5 | comment |
Self-Imposed Challenge: Ocarina of Time is almost as popular for this as Super Mario 64, to the extent that there are several different types of speedrunning challenges for the game: The first is the Vanilla Run, which is simply completing the game as fast as possible. The second type is the Glitch Run, which requires exploiting glitches that allow insane amounts of Sequence Breaking in the game, such as skipping the child portion of the Spirit Temple early, skipping the Forest, Fire, and Water Temples entirely (save for acquiring the Fairy's Bow from the Forest Temple), only completing the Shadow and Spirit Temples, and skipping the trials in Ganon's Castle; or skipping every adult dungeon by using the "reverse bottle adventure" glitch. The third is the Mask and Skulltula Run. The goal is collecting all 100 Gold Skulltulas and the Mask of Truth in the fastest possible time. The fourth is the 100% Completion run, which means grabbing every heart piece and finding the double heart fairy, getting every weapon and their upgrades, all four bottles, all 100 Gold Skulltulas, and learning all of the Ocarina songs, including the Scarecrow Song. Notably, the name of this run is somewhat misleading—unlike a true 100% run, you can skip a few things in it to save time (i.e. Farore's Wind, Nayru's Love, Dungeon Maps, Compasses, Masks, Biggoron's Sword and any requirement for Magic Beans). And there are several different kinds of Minimalist Runs you can attempt, such as the Three-Heart Run. | |

Ganondorf has one of these after the first round of his final battle with Link. After he's defeated and his castle collapses around him while Link, Zelda, and Navi escape, he bursts out of the rubble in a rage. He then uses the Triforce of Power to change into the feral, dual-sword-wielding, boar-like Ganon. His breakdown continues even after he reverts back to his human form as he angrily vows revenge against Link, Zelda, and the sages as they imprison him in the Sacred Realm. | |

He Was Right There All Along | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_9553214b | comment |
He Was Right There All Along: Several bosses, particularly Gohma where the boss fight won't trigger until you look up into her eye. Dark Link takes the cake, as he is Link's reflection, literally having been with Link his entire life until the Water Temple brought it to life. When you enter the room (which has an illusion cast on it by Ganondorf to resemble a foggy lake), there is a lone island in the centre of the lake. Link's reflection is blatantly visible on the mirror-like surface of the water until he steps on the island, after which point his reflection has completely vanished. Dark Link appears by the tree on the island as soon as Link turns his back, attacking only once Link either locks on or gets close enough. And once he's been defeated, the illusion fades, revealing that the very solid island, which you could physically stand on - was never there to begin with; it was a spell that served to turn Link's reflection against him. | |

Villainous Breakdown: Ganondorf has one of these after the first round of his final battle with Link. After he's defeated and his castle collapses around him while Link, Zelda, and Navi escape, he bursts out of the rubble in a rage. He then uses the Triforce of Power to change into the feral, dual-sword-wielding, boar-like Ganon. His breakdown continues even after he reverts back to his human form as he angrily vows revenge against Link, Zelda, and the sages as they imprison him in the Sacred Realm. A really weird example happens to Ingo after beating him in a horse race with Epona. First he becomes desperate because Link gets to keep the mare that was originally meant to be a present for Ganondorf, so he locks him up. What happens after Link escapes, anyway? He suddenly becomes nice the next time you enter the ranch. According to Miyamoto, the plan was to have Ingo burn down the ranch in a fit of madness after you beat him, but then someone asked what would happen if you re-entered the ranch, so it was dropped. | |

Damn You, Muscle Memory!: Anyone used to the Ocarina controls from the original version may have trouble getting used to the Ocarina controls for the 3DS remake, as the button layout for each note is totally different. And of course, the mirrored Master Quest in the 3DS remake also messes with long-time players' reflexes. One for veterans of the first game involves Peahats, which went to only being vulnerable when still to only being vulnerable when moving. If the player forgets it, they're almost sure to take a hit or two. | |

Invulnerable Horses: Because no hit-detection or collision-detection was scripted into the game, Link is completely invincible while on the back of Epona. Some may consider it appropriate, considering his trusty steed is named after a Celtic goddess. Ascended in Four Swords Adventures where grabbing a carrot made a horse appear under the Links, and the game says the respective player is invincible. | |

Chick Magnet: While Ruto and Nabooru are the only ones actively expressing romantic interest in Link in the game, it's speculated that Zelda, Saria, and Malon might be into him as well. Also, Shigeru Miyamoto claimed that Navi was in love with Link too. Incredibly early discussions of the design of the game hinted that there would be a "choose your girl"-style romantic subplot between the number of girls. Likely scrapped not long later when the story would make most of the girls unreachable for the last majority of the story. | |

Eldritch Location: Ganon's Castle. The Forest Temple also qualifies. It's an anomaly in the context of the game—whereas all of the other temples look like, well, temples, the Forest Temple is more like a giant, derelict mansion frozen in time and slowly being reclaimed by nature, and it has some truly bizarre architectural choices. Oh, and it's inhabited by the undead on top of that. The Shadow Temple under the well certainly has shades of this too. | |

Bowdlerization | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_a49914aa | comment |
Bowdlerization: Originally, Ganondorf coughed blood shortly before the castle escape, and Ganon also bled with the final few hits. This was recolored green in later versions of the game, so when Ganondorf coughed up that blood... it looked more like throw-up, and green slime poured out of Ganon in the final blows. Surprisingly, all blood when Link is hit, as well as the bloody spots and skeletons in the Bottom of the Well, as well as the bones in the graves, are kept, E-Rating and all! In the Fire Temple, the original version specifically sounds like the Arabic for the First Pillar of Islam ("There is no god but God, and Mohammed is his Prophet") and "God is great." All of these changes were only made in game v1.2, not the gold cart (v1.0) and first run regular carts (v1.1). A Gametrailers video elaborates on this slightly. The Gerudo crest and the Mirror◊ Shield◊, much like the Fire Temple theme, were altered because the Gerudo Crest was too similar to the Islamic Crescent Moon. There's ONE spot in the game where they forgot to change the symbol: the ceiling of Dampe's tomb in the room where he gives you the Hookshot (it was changed in the 3DS version). The 3DS remake keeps all of the changes made in v1.2 but goes even further by making the blood on the Dead Hands no more than a pale pink tone, and removing blood on the floors of the Bottom of the Well and the Shadow Temple. | |

Mood Whiplash | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: Full of it: Walking through the cheery castle town and either (a) finding the poor dying guard left to tell you what was going on or (b) going to the future where it's been razed to the ground by Ganondorf's evil. Learning a rather unpleasant fact about your previously-harmless home village during the Biggoron's Sword quest. Specifically, that every non-Kokiri who gets lost in the woods becomes a Stalfos. You know, those things you've been killing without a second thought? And, oh, hey, Link isn't a Kokiri either! Which does seem to imply that fairies are what protect people. So what would happen if a Kokiri and their fairy were separated? It's implied that they become Skull Kids, just like the human kids who wander into the forest without their parents or a fairy. Go strolling through the completely happy and normal Kakariko Village and into the graveyard, which is fairly harmless as well (it even has a cute child playing in it in the daytime). Then fall down a tomb when you visit at night and meet your first ReDead(s).note (You need the Sun's Song to get the Piece Of Heart guarded by the lone ReDead, while there are FOUR in the Royal Family's Tomb.) When you first go out into the sunny, wide-open, and peaceful-looking Hyrule Field, you find that when the sun sets, creatures come out of the ground and start attacking you. And they are simply the more famous example. The "daytime" enemies, the peahats are only slightly better in that they likely won't be seen if you just run straight for the major residential areas. Encounter one and the music becomes more frantic as it chases you to the ends of the field or till sundown. In addition, when you first leave Kokiri Forest and are awestruck by the wide open world, the first thing you are likely to investigate is the pretty giant flower immediately outside the forest. Soon after you spend about a minute running and screaming from whirling blades of death. The triumphant obtainment of the Master Sword...followed by dire consequences. | |

Shifting Sand Land | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_a4cb54b4 | comment |
Shifting Sand Land: The Haunted Wasteland, and the Desert Colossus after it. The former has a sandstorm that makes the environment more difficult to look at, as well as quicksand. The latter is more stable terrain-wise, but also overrun by Leevers. | |

Dude, Where's My Reward? | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_a4e9a09e | comment |
Dude, Where's My Reward?: For every ten of the first fifty Gold Skulltulas you find, you get a significant reward.note In order, they are the Adult's Wallet, which ups your bank limit from 99 to 200 (you will need this wallet for several purchases such as the final Magic Bean, which is priced at 100 Rupees), the Stone/Shard of Agony (for finding secrets), the Giant's Wallet that ups the bank to the cap of 500 Rupees (once you have this and the max amount, money shouldn't be too big an issue for the rest of the game), Bombchus (which you can already have and won't need until the Spirit Temple), and one of the 36 Pieces of Heart, meaning killing at least 50 Gold Skulltulas is required to max out your health. For finding the other fifty, a task that requires you to scour every nook and cranny in the land, you get... money. By that time you'll essentially have done everything in the game that requires money anyway. | |

Hidden Elf Village: The Kokiri Forest is supposedly protected by a barrier to keep outsiders away. Considering this is only mentioned in the opening scenes, and enemies appear either deep enough into the forest or once you start actually approaching the Deku Tree, it's likely that Ganondorf did something to it. | |

Oh, Crap!: The moments right before the final boss battle. You watch Ganondorf die, you escape the tower and watch it collapse on him. As Link and Zelda are celebrating, they hear a noise, and Link goes to check it out. Suddenly, the pile of rubble explodes, and Ganondorf flies out of it. He flashes his Triforce, and then transforms. Then he knocks the Master Sword, the only weapon that can kill him, out of Link's hands and outside a wall of fire. Of course, it helps that this is one of the few times over the course of the game that Link's facial expression changes. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_b2280b66 | comment |
Retcon: Prior to Ocarina of Time, it was firmly established in the backstory of A Link to the Past that although the people of Hyrule looked for a hero to wield the Master Sword to fight Ganon during the Imprisoning War, no such figure ever emerged. Ocarina of Time is based on that backstory but introduces a predecessor Link who did wield the Master Sword and fought Ganon. Consequently, future retellings of the Imprisoning War staring with Hyrule Historia mention that the Master Sword was wielded by the Hero of Time in a duel against Ganondorf (it's just that the hero lost the battle). | |

Nice Day, Deadly Night: Being caught outside of Hyrule Town at night as young Link will cause the drawbridge to be raised (preventing you from entering) and cause "Stalchildren" to rise from the ground and attack if you step off the path. They aren't particularly strong (and have Super Drowning Skills), but they constantly keep coming until dawn (and every 12th one will be progressively larger). | |

No OSHA Compliance: It's no wonder the Sheikahs aren't around anymore if their idea of a good place to build a settlement is the base of an active volcano and then keep it there on top of a reasonable facsimile of hell. | |

Windmill Scenery | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_b754128a | comment |
Windmill Scenery: It is hard to miss the Kakariko Village windmill. It is actually a windpump that draws up water from the nighmarish well sitting in front of it. It would've taken a few years to pump out the water barring Link from the Bottom Of The Well, but the Song Of Storms makes it go so fast that it pumps all of it out in a few minutes. Then, once inside, Link drains the rest in order to confront Dead Hand. | |

Everything's Better with Cows | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_b7616e39 | comment |
Everything's Better with Cows: Link can win a cow from the horse race with Malon, which would appear inside Link's house in Kokiri Forest. How did it get up the ladder? Malon mentions she's sending a present to his house and he'll get it when he goes home. Maybe she has superpowered ranch hands hidden somewhere? The Master Quest version of the Jabu-Jabu dungeon. Apparently Jabu-Jabu has a taste for beef in addition to fish (and also swallows them whole). All of them except for one are somehow embedded in Jabu-Jabu's flesh, and they usually hide a switch that you have to activate by shooting the cow with the slingshot. This comes out of nowhere. | |

Fast-Forward Mechanic: The "Sun's Song" moves time to the next time of day. In certain areas, it just speeds up the progression of the sun and moon to the next 6 o'clock. In places where time is frozen, it instead advances to the next TWELVE o'clock, which screws you over if you were supposed to be there earlier than that, like at 9 o'clock. | |

You Gotta Have Blue Hair: The Bombchu Bowling girl. Non-blue hair examples include Saria with green hair and Fado with blonde hair, when all the other Kokiri have reddish-brown hairnote (Fado's case is actually Justified in that she was initially going to be important like Saria); and lastly Impa retains her gray hair despite being much younger than her previous appearances. A case could be made for the Gerudo, since flame-red hair on desert folk is an oddity in itself. | |

Of all weapons, the Deku Sticks count as this. One would think they're a joke weapon due to how flimsy they look and how fragile they are, but not only do they deal more damage than the Kokiri sword, they can actually deal Biggoron Sword level damage in the right hands. For example, King Dodongo can be killed in two dive attacks from them. Sadly, the 3DS port nerfed them into being a genuine Joke Weapon. | |

Shout-Out | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The four Poe Sisters are named Jo, Amy, Meg, and Beth. In the German translation, the four carpenters (Ichiro, Jiro, Sabooro and Shiro) are called John, Paul, George and Ringo. Also in the German translation, Ingo is referred to as Basil, though the Manual still calls him Ingo. Also there are five Mario references: outside Link's house is a drawing of a knight fighting Bowser with a mushroom dropping from above him, Malon and Talon have Bowser head brooches and there are pictures of Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, and Yoshi in the Castle Courtyard. Not to mention Sharp and Flat, Poe versions of Mario and Luigi who appear if you examine the graves on either side of the Royal Family's Tomb. Then there's Talon and Ingo themselves... The remake does away with the paintings in the Courtyard, but looking through the window does show what looks like a level from New Super Mario Bros.. The Kokiri race has various allusions to Peter Pan, such as them being accompanied by fairies, their child-like image and playfulness, and the fact that they can't grow up. Also, Miyamoto has stated that Navi has a crush on Link and is jealous of Zelda, an allusion of Tinkerbell being in love with the eponymous main character and being jealous of Wendy (coincidentially, this kind of relationship was also in the Western animated series). The BGM in the Forest Temple includes the leitmotif for the titular alien from Predator. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_c9cab11 | comment |
Once Link gains the ability to throw Bomb Flowers, he can go up to the area overlooking Dodongo's Cavern with his back to a corner of the low fence. If he picks up/throws the bomb and quickly backflips before the flower reappears, he will land on top of the cave entrance (admittedly with some Falling Damage), which has another Piece of Heart. You're supposed to get there by planting a Magic Bean, then returning as an adult and riding it to the top of the cavern. | |

Developer's Foresight | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_d24ed873 | comment |
Developers' Foresight: Normally, when adult Link enters the Gerudo Fortress and gets caught, he gets tossed into a prison cell that can only be escaped by using the Hookshot. If you engage in a bit of Sequence Breaking and get Epona before the Hookshot, and enter the Gerudo Fortress by jumping over the broken bridge, you won't get trapped in the cell if caught — the guards just throw you outside the entrance to the village. Because Link cannot enter the Gerudo Fortress from Gerudo Valley as a child (at least, not without exploiting a glitch or two), some players might try to enter the Gerudo Fortress as a child through the back door: by travelling backwards through the Haunted Wasteland from the Desert Colossus. Crafty players who manage to do so (which is impossible without a glitching OR cheating as child Link cannot cross the River of Sand) will find that the gate is closed and a Gerudo guard is standing in front of it, telling the player that children are not allowed to enter. Even though it's impossible to acquire Nayru's Love before beating Dark Link without glitches, he is still programmed to respond to it by becoming very defensive, keeping his shield up and retreating. | |

Villainous Badland, Heroic Arcadia: Ganondorf hails from the harsh Gerudo Desert, while Link spent his whole life in the idyllic - albeit somewhat muted — Kokiri forest. Sure enough, when Ganondorf takes over Hyrule, it turns into a wasteland of death. Lampshaded in The Wind Waker: Ganondorf admits that his initial reason for wanting to conquer Hyrule was the the land was green and fertile with winds that brought life while in the desert the wind brought nothing but death. | |

Tactical Suicide Boss: Koume and Kotake, as well as their combined form, Twinrova. If the sisters never passed by each other during the fight (allowing them to be hit by their counterpart's attack), they'd be invincible. Meanwhile, Twinrova doesn't mind hitting you with spells your Mirror Shield can absorb and throw back at her, making her vulnerable. Ganondorf uses a Desperation Attack that leaves him open to a free Light Arrow shot if you're just getting good, or speed-running. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: Shields are affordable if a bit pricey, and each tunic requires its own wallet upgrade to actually buy, so they're at least pretty expensive. However, in almost every instance where it's possible to lose your shield and sometimes your tunic, it's possible to find a new one right next to you. If you haven't lost either, you'll know the chest that would've contained one because it will instead house a blue rupee. The Sun Song cuts down the long length of time it takes for day to change to night and vice versa, and it lets you change time without having to go out into an adventure area. Though this can be frustrating as, in time freeze areas, playing the Sun's Song will advance the game clock to either noon or midnight, depending on which time of day you play it at. In the future, getting Epona and learning the warp songs from Sheik considerably cuts down on the amount of backtracking you'll have to do. The songs still work when you're a kid, too. Finding and using Farore's Wind also makes backtracking in the dungeons quicker and easier, especially in the Water Temple. There's also Pierre. Almost anywhere that requires a magic bean sprout to go, can be reached by summoning him instead. He also allows you to bypass the nerve-wracking and frustrating experience with the Moblins in the Sacred Meadow and some hellish backtracking in the Water Temple... provided you visited Bonooru at Lake Hylia to record the notes you want to use immediately after getting the Ocarina Of Time, and went back after arriving in the Future to activate the song. In Ganon's Castle, underneath the bridge you can't reach in the main area, there's a secret room. Inside, there are several fairies in pots, as well as business scrubs that sell you bombs, arrows, shields, etc. just in case you run out and need to get more, so that you don't have to go all the way to Kakariko to buy and stock up. | |

The Story That Never Was | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_d93eca0d | comment |
The Story That Never Was: Zelda resets the timeline to just before Link met her and she sent him off to try to stop Ganondorf on his own. They realize that Ganondorf would've never have risen to power if they had simply turned him over to the proper authorities instead of unlocking the Sacred Realm, which gave him the opportunity to steal the Triforce. However, in doing so she actually failed to fully erase everything and created at least two timelines - one where Link simply vanished from existence after defeating Ganon as an adult (The setting of Wind Waker and its sequels), and one where he exposed the conspiracy as a child. (The setting of Twilight Princess and Four Swords Adventures) Word of God is that despite being able to live out his childhood, Link retained memories of the events of the plot and lived an unfulfilled life because he never got to be the Hero of Time. | |

The Gerudo race as a whole, as attested by the guards that Link fights when rescuing the carpenters from the Gerudo Fortress, as well as the others' expertise in the training areas. | |

LethalJokeWeapon | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_dba5a4f8 | comment |
Lethal Joke Weapon: The Deku Sticks. Sure, they're fragile and require refilling, but they're also stronger than the Kokiri Sword and the strongest of your early weapons(in the Nintendo 64 version, anyway—the 3DS port nerfs them into being a genuine Joke Weapon). A Bottle, of all items, unintentionally became this in the Ganondorf fight due to a design oversight—normally, they have no combat purposes at all, but when you fight Phantom Ganon and Ganondorf himself, the Bottle can actually deflect their attacks back at them. On top of that, the Bottle moves faster and has slightly more range than the Master Sword, effectively making the fight easier than if you used the sword. And unlike the Deku Sticks, this was not changed in the 3DS port. | |

Continuity Snarl | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_df582b0b | comment |
Continuity Snarl: The game itself is possibly the biggest retcon in the franchise, and one that greatly affects the whole timeline. The backstory of A Link to the Past establishes that Ganondorf got the whole Triforce and that the Master Sword remained unused until the arrival of Link note Who is implied to be the first incarnation of the character. in the present day. Ocarina of Time is based on that backstory but introduces a predecessor Link who did wield the Master Sword, and ends with Ganondorf being sealed away with only the Triforce of Power in his possession. The incompatible nature only got worse when new Zelda games such The Wind Waker and Twilight Princess are established as direct sequels to Ocarina of Time but diverts further away from the setting of A Link to the Past and the NES games. It's only when Nintendo creates an Alternate Timeline where the Hero of Time is defeated that Ocarina of Time is finally reconnected to A Link to the Past as the prequel it was originally intended to be. | |

Childhood Marriage Promise: Thanks to the Time Skip, Link gets confronted with his wholly accidental promise sooner than the trope would normally require. Luckily, Ruto being the Sage of Water means it has to be called off. The player can choose to agree to marry Malon if they talk to Talon as a kid. Talon laughs that Link is too young for marriage; and later when Link ages, he doesn't bring it up again. | |

Ambiguously Gay: The four carpenters from Kakariko Village. Made more obvious in the remake. Sabooro outright flirts with Link, calling him a cute kid. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_e3ab9e00 | comment |
Turns Red: You know Ganondorf is about to go down when they foolishly lower their guard to use an attack that is guaranteed to score a hit on newcomers. Pros and speed-runners take advantage of the opportunity for a free hit. Master players charge up a Spin Attack and time the release to when he unleashes his attack. Iron Knuckles, as detailed under Sequential Boss, lose the heavy parts of their armor and start running at Link when they're at about half HP. | |

Call-Forward | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_e3c36782 | comment |
Call-Forward: A castle guard says "KEEP IT A SECRET FROM EVERYONE," not unlike the friendly Moblin in the first game. At one point, Mido says "Grumble, grumble...", an infamous line uttered in the first game at a frustrating Guide Dang It! moment. The Sages and Mido are named after the towns from Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. The same game is also the source of Volvagianote The Zelda II version was originally translated as Barba, but the Japanese version and the Collector's Edition release use Volvagia, Dark Link, and Iron Knuckles (which are used instead of the Darknuts used in 2D games other than the second game as well as later 3D games). In the remake, the Happy Mask Salesman has the masks that were attached to his pack in Majora's Mask. In the remake, when you visit the bedroom of Lon Lon Ranch, you can see on the wall some of Malon's paper drawings. One of them is Marin. In the remake, Impa's house has a book on the table that resembles the Book of Mudora from A Link to the Past. | |

11th-Hour Superpower: After Link has the Golden Gauntlets from the final dungeon, he can go back outside to find the final Great Fairy, who gives him "damage reduction." Or, in simpler terms, doubles his health. Since Ganondorf is balanced for Link not doing this, things don't exactly go well for him. | |

Also there are five Mario references: outside Link's house is a drawing of a knight fighting Bowser with a mushroom dropping from above him, Malon and Talon have Bowser head brooches and there are pictures of Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, and Yoshi in the Castle Courtyard. Not to mention Sharp and Flat, Poe versions of Mario and Luigi who appear if you examine the graves on either side of the Royal Family's Tomb. Then there's Talon and Ingo themselves... The remake does away with the paintings in the Courtyard, but looking through the window does show what looks like a level from New Super Mario Bros.. | |

Mini-Dungeon | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_e8144b5e | comment |
Mini-Dungeon: Ice Cavern is necessary as Link earns there the Iron Boots, which are required for tackling the Water Temple. In the Bottom of the Well, the Lens of Truth lies within, and is necessary for navigating the Shadow Temple and reaching the Spirit Temple note (technically, you only need to explore about 5% of the well to proceed; all one has to do to reach Dead Hand, who has the Lens, is go to the back of the primary hallway in the dungeon and plays Zelda's Lullaby, them come back to a pit at the entrance; once one has the Lens, they can either stay and try to find three Gold Skulltulas (who are behind locked doors), or leave immediately). To a lesser extent, there's the Thieves' Hideout, inside which the young hero has to rescue the four carpenters before he can proceed into the desert. | |

You Already Changed the Past: The keeper of the windmill hut says that a kid ruined his hut with the Song Of Storms. He then teaches you the song the kid used, and you go back in time, realize said kid is you, and use the song to wreck his hut... note This is required to get into the Bottom of the Well and retrieve the Lens of Truth, which is needed to have a reasonable chance of progressing through the Shadow Temple and then needed to even reach the Spirit Temple. | |

Only Good People May Pass | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_eb05b0b9 | comment |
Only Good People May Pass: The entrance to the Sacred Realm (also known as the Golden Land) where the Triforce dwells is hidden and requires four sacred objects (the Kokiri Emerald, Goron Ruby, Zora Sapphire and Ocarina of Time) that are each protected by the various nations that populate Hyrule. Only possessing all four and then playing the Song of Time in the Temple of Time will reveal the hidden entrance, but this is technically possible if the items are stolen through nefarious means. The final test, however, is pulling out the Master Sword, which can't be touched by someone evil. Unfortunately, there's nothing stopping someone evil from waiting for a good person to do all that, and then step inside and enter the Sacred Realm themselves. | |

Sealed Good in a Can: What happened when young Link pulled the Master Sword out of its pedestal: He is The Chosen One, but because he was too young to wield the sword properly, his spirit was sealed up until he was old enough, which took seven years. To the player, this is nothing more than a Time Skip (and Time Travel), but for the rest of the world... just see The Slow Path below. | |

Sprite/Polygon Mix: Outside, sprites are used for effects and some flat-but-detailed objects. Most building interiors have 3D characters and objects, but a totally 2D background with fake perspective which hides parts of Link to allow him to walk "behind" objects. Averted completely in the remake, where all backdrops are polygonal models due the more powerful hardware on the 3DS and to it being obviously fake when viewed with stereoscopic vision. | |

Wake-Up Call Boss: Barinade. He's the first boss battle to have multiple "stages" to it, as well as taking far more hits to kill. A player who's familiar with their attack patterns and weaknesses can easily beat Gohma and King Dodongo in about 20 and 40 seconds respectively without taking a single hit, but Barinade will likely take at least a minute-and-a-half or more, with a much higher chance of inflicting damage to the player in the meantime. | |

Shall I Repeat That? | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_f50ba444 | comment |
Shall I Repeat That?: The owl Kaepora Gaebora gives Link advice throughout the game, giving Link the option to have him repeat himself afterwards. That's all well and good, though — wait, what do you mean that the default is "Yes, I do want to hear that again" and "No, I don't understand"? It is very easy to rush through his text and make him repeat himself over and over and over again, especially when you consider how slow the text scrolls unless you mash the A button (Or skip it with the B button). Thankfully, he gets better in Four Swords Adventures, where this doesn't even come into play as badly. His optional words of wisdom are so optional that you have to call him to get him to talk. Otherwise, you don't have to be in talking range to trigger his mandatory lines. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_f87c42d4 | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Potential: The Cuccos, of course. This time around, you can laugh at Video Game Cruelty Punishment in one location by trampling over them in Lon Lon Ranch with Epona and watching the entire flock chase after you from horseback — they can't actually harm you as long as you're on your horse. The Poes. Link can move a grave, disturbing the soul's rest; he can then defeat it and trap it in a jar. From there he can either sell off the soul, or consume it to (have a chance to) revitalize himself. The Skulltula family can be attacked from behind just like any other Skulltula, which makes them cry out in pain and be stunned for a bit. Of course, if you get close to them after they're stunned, they'll attack in retaliation. Inverted with Epona. You have a limited amount of times you can slap her to make her go faster, but Ingo has an unlimited amount during the race. | |

Sequence Breaking | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_fb111d49 | comment |
Sequence Breaking: To the point that you could finish the game without going to any dungeon or temple if skilled enough... in less than 25 minutes. "Normal" sequence breaking includes finishing (not going to) Lord Jabu-Jabu before Dodongo's Cavern, doing the Fire Temple before the Forest Temple, doing the Water Temple before the Fire Temple, doing the Spirit Temple before the Shadow Temple, and completely skipping the Bottom of the Well. It's also possible to save all four carpenters and get the Gerudo Token before even setting foot inside any of the temples. There are so many possibilities for sequence breaking in this game that speedrunners master different "categories", such as complete (all 3 stones) Young Link runs, Any% runs where only getting to the ending matters, 100% runs where a player must complete everything, the list goes on. There's even bingo card generators with a series of objectives competing runners must complete. To give an idea of the possibilities that people keep finding about, a speedrunner without any assistance beat the time of an early TAS of the game. By several hours. There are, of course, more modest examples that don't involve speed runs or even severe glitches: The N64 games allowed Link to jump over low fences or obstacles in a realistic fashion using backflips and side jumps, leading to some potentially unexpected situations. Starting with the Nintendo GameCube games, this isn't possible anymore- even low fences have invisible walls preventing Link from vaulting over them. The first time that Link visits Kakariko Village, he can climb up the tower, line up a side jump, and just land on the roof with the man looking up at the sky. This man gives Link a Piece of Heart. What makes this sequence breaking is the fact that the man says "Nice to see you again..." without having seen Link before. Once Link gains the ability to throw Bomb Flowers, he can go up to the area overlooking Dodongo's Cavern with his back to a corner of the low fence. If he picks up/throws the bomb and quickly backflips before the flower reappears, he will land on top of the cave entrance (admittedly with some Falling Damage), which has another Piece of Heart. You're supposed to get there by planting a Magic Bean, then returning as an adult and riding it to the top of the cavern. There's another Piece of Heart on a ledge in the Kakariko Village windmill that's meant to reached as an adult by going through Dampe's Grave. Child Link can get it with a very precise boomerang throw. | |

Big, Thin, Short Trio: The residents at Lon Lon Ranch: Talon (big), Ingo (thin), and Malon (short). However, this trope does not apply seven years later, when Malon is an adult and as tall as Talon. | |

You Shouldn't Know This Already | |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Videogame / int_fc85fadc | comment |
You Shouldn't Know This Already: Even if you hit the right notes, the special effects associated with a given ocarina song (like the Sun's Song, which changes from day to night) won't activate until you've been officially taught the song by another character. Likewise, although the Scarecrow lets you play him a song as a kid (which becomes the Scarecrow's Song as an adult), it has to be a custom song — if you play a song that you're supposed to learn later (such as the Bolero of Fire), he won't remember it, but only tells you he can't say why. (He also says this to any song that's fewer than eight notes long.) | |

The Cuccos, of course. This time around, you can laugh at Video Game Cruelty Punishment in one location by trampling over them in Lon Lon Ranch with Epona and watching the entire flock chase after you from horseback — they can't actually harm you as long as you're on your horse. | |

Theme Naming: The four kidnapped carpenters are named after Japanese numbers: Ichiro (Ichi, 1), Jiro (Ni/Ji, 2), Sabooro (San, 3), Shiro (Shi, 4). The Poe Sisters in the Forest Temple are named after the sisters from Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. | |

Bigger on the Inside: Most dungeons have so many floors and rooms so large that they outnumber their external size. In particular, Jabu Jabu's Belly is an entire dungeon made of extremely large intestinal tracts, which you might not expect from looking at Jabu-Jabu's relatively small exterior. | |

Jabu-Jabu has some strange red... nerve... things... that start wiggling about when Link approaches, and don't stop until he leaves. You need the Boomerang to stun them and make them platforms, but if you hit it with another weapon, or otherwise touch it yourself... well... Also in Jabu-Jabu, there are the differently-colored "slimy things" connected to Barinade's Parasitic Tentacles that will zap Link silly if he touches them and even emit electricity if a ranged weapon hits them without zapping Link. They don't move or actively attack Link, but trying to push past them WILL hurt. A lot. So go hunt down those Parasitic Tentacles if you want to remove them. | |

When using the ocarina, you can shift the pitch with the analog stick. This isn't mentioned anywhere in the instruction manual, and has absolutely no effect on gameplay, but it's a nice little touch that makes it closer to the real thing. | |
