The on-screen display shows actions mapped to buttons.The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is a fantasy set in an expansive environment. The player controls series protagonist from a third-person perspective in a three-dimensional world.

Link primarily fights with a sword and shield, but can also use other weapons such as projectiles, bombs, and magic spells.: 22–25 The control scheme introduced techniques such as actions and a targeting system called 'Z-targeting', which allows the player to have Link focus and latch onto enemies or other objects.: 11–12 When using this technique, the camera follows the target and Link constantly faces it. Projectile attacks are automatically directed at the target and do not require manual aiming. Context-sensitive actions allow multiple tasks to be assigned to one button, simplifying the control scheme. The on-screen display shows what will happen when the button is pushed and changes depending on what the character is doing.

For example, the same button that causes Link to push a box if he is standing next to it will have him climb on the box if the analog stick is pushed toward it. Much of the game is spent in battle, but some parts require the use of. When the player uses Z-targeting, the view shifts to a format and arrows indicate the targeted enemy. The player can then around the enemy to keep their sight on them.Link gains new abilities by collecting items and weapons found in dungeons or in the overworld.

Not all are required— Ocarina of Time has several optional side quests, or minor objectives that the player can choose to complete or ignore. Completing the side quests usually results in rewards, normally in the form of weapons or abilities. In one side quest, Link trades items he cannot use himself among. This trading sequence features ten items and ends with Link receiving an item he can use, the two-handed Biggoron Sword, the strongest sword in the game. In another side quest, Link can acquire a.

When Link takes the sword, he is transported seven years into the future and becomes an adult. Young Link and adult Link have different abilities. For example, only adult Link can use the Fairy Bow, and only young Link can fit through certain small passages. After completing certain tasks, Link can travel freely between the two time periods by replacing and taking the sword. Plot Setting. See also:Ocarina of Time is set in the fictional kingdom of, the setting of most games, and takes place before all previous games in the series.

Link returns to Hyrule Castle, where he sees Ganondorf chase Zelda and her caretaker Impa on horseback, like in his nightmare, and unsuccessfully attempts to stop him. Inside the Temple of Time, he uses the Ocarina of Time, a gift from Zelda, and the Spiritual Stones to open the door to the Sacred Realm. There he finds the Master Sword, but as he pulls it from its pedestal, Ganondorf, having snuck into the Temple after Link, appears and claims the Triforce.Seven years later, an older Link awakens in the Sacred Realm and is met by Rauru, one of the seven who protects the entrance to the Sacred Realm.

Rauru explains that Link's spirit was sealed for seven years until he was old enough to wield the Master Sword and defeat Ganondorf, who has now taken over Hyrule. The seven sages can imprison Ganondorf in the Sacred Realm, but five are unaware of their identities as sages. Link is returned to the Temple of Time, where he meets the mysterious Sheik, who guides him to free five temples from Ganondorf's control and allow each temple's sage to awaken. Link befriended all five sages as a child: his childhood friend Saria, the Sage of the Forest Temple; Darunia, the Sage of the Fire Temple; Ruto, the Sage of the; Impa, the Sage of the Shadow Temple; and Nabooru, leader of the Gerudos in Ganondorf's absence, the Sage of the Spirit Temple. After the five sages awaken, Sheik reveals herself to be Zelda in disguise, and the seventh sage.

She tells Link that Ganondorf's heart was unbalanced, causing the Triforce to split into three pieces. Ganondorf acquired only the Triforce of Power, while Zelda received the Triforce of Wisdom and Link the Triforce of Courage.Ganondorf appears and kidnaps Zelda, imprisoning her in his castle. The other six sages help Link infiltrate the stronghold; Link frees Zelda after defeating Ganondorf, who destroys the castle in an attempt to kill Link and Zelda. After they escape the collapsing castle, Ganondorf emerges from the rubble and transforms into a boar-like monster named Ganon using the Triforce of Power. Ganon knocks the Master Sword from Link's hand; with Zelda's aid, Link retrieves the Master Sword and defeats Ganon. The seven sages seal Ganondorf in the Dark Realm; still holding the Triforce of Power, he vows to take revenge on their descendants.

Zelda uses the Ocarina of Time to send Link back to his childhood. Navi departs and young Link meets Zelda in the castle garden once more, where he retains knowledge of Hyrule's fate, starting with Hyrule's decline. Development. The Nintendo 64 with attached.First shown as a technical and thematic demonstration video at Nintendo's trade show in December 1995, Ocarina of Time was developed concurrently with by Nintendo's (EAD) division.Nintendo planned to release Super Mario 64 as a for the (N64) and later release Ocarina of Time for the, a disk drive peripheral for the system, which was still in development. Nintendo eventually migrated the development of Ocarina of Time from disk to cartridge media due to the high data performance requirements imposed by continuously reading 500 character animations throughout gameplay.

They planned to follow its release with a 64DD expansion disk.The 32- game was the largest game Nintendo had created at the time. Early in development, the team had concerns about the data storage constraints of the N64 cartridge; in the worst-case scenario, Ocarina of Time would follow a similar structure to Super Mario 64, with Link restricted to Ganondorf's castle as a central hub, using a portal system similar to the paintings that Mario uses to traverse the realm. An idea that arose from this stage of development, a battle with a doppelganger of Ganondorf that rides through paintings, was used as the boss of the Forest Temple dungeon.While had been the principal director of Super Mario 64, he was now in charge of several directors as a producer and supervisor of Ocarina of Time.

Different parts were handled by different directors, a new strategy for Nintendo EAD. Four or five initial teams grew over time, each working on different basic experiments, including scenario and planning, Link's actions, transforming classic 2D items into improved 3D form, camera experiments, motion capture, sound, special effects, and the flow of time. The developers were inspired by the chanbara sword technique, as seen in this photo.Although the development team was new to 3D games, assistant director Makoto Miyanaga recalled a 'passion for creating something new and unprecedented'.

Miyamoto intended the game, a 'medieval tale of sword and sorcery', to be in the genre of Japanese sword fighting. The development involved more than 120 people, including used to capture the effects of sword fighting and Link's movement. Miyamoto initially intended Ocarina of Time to be played in a first-person perspective to enable players to take in the vast terrain of Hyrule Field better and let the team focus more on developing enemies and environments.

The concept was abandoned once the idea of a child Link was introduced, and Miyamoto believed it necessary for Link to be visible on screen. Originally Z-targeting involved a generic marker, however Koizumi changed the design to that of a fairy to make it less 'robotic'. The fairy gained the name of the 'Fairy Navigation System' amongst staff, and ultimately, this turned into the nickname 'Navi', which in turn resulted in the 'birth' of Navi's character. The 'birth' of Navi was a pivotal point in the story's development.Some of Miyamoto's ideas were instead used in Super Mario 64, since it was to be released first.

Other ideas were not used due to time constraints. Ocarina of Time originally ran on the same as Super Mario 64, but was so heavily modified that Miyamoto considers the final products different engines. One major difference between the two is camera control; the player has a lot of control over the camera in Super Mario 64, but the camera in Ocarina of Time is largely controlled by the game AI. Miyamoto said the camera controls for Ocarina of Time are intended to reflect a focus on the game's world, whereas those of Super Mario 64 are centered on the character of. We opted not to use that limited time and energy on pre-rendered images for use in cinema scenes, but rather on tests on other inter-active elements and polishing up the game.

Actually, I changed the scenario just a few months before completion, and although the staff was rather unhappy about taking apart something they had already created, we were able to make the fixes in a short amount of time, so that it did not cause any problems time-wise. It may sound like an excuse, but it is not because the N64 doesn't have access to a CD-ROM that we incorporated real-time movie processing. Quite the contrary, to the greatest extent possible we were able to make use of truly cinematic methods with our camera work without relying on the kind of data typically used to make cinema scenes.—Shigeru MiyamotoMiyamoto wanted to make a game that was cinematic, yet distinguished from films.

Takumi Kawagoe, who creates for Nintendo, said that his priority was to have the player feel in control of the action. To promote this instantaneous continuity of cinematic gameplay, the cutscenes in Ocarina of Time are completely generated with on the Nintendo 64 and do not use prerendered. Miyamoto's vision required this real-time architecture for the total of more than 90 minutes of cutscenes, regardless of whether the console had a vast medium like CD-ROM on which to store prerendered versions. Toru Osawa created the scenario for the game, based on a story idea by Miyamoto. He was supported by A Link to the Past and Link's Awakening script writer. Miyamoto said the real-time rendering engine allowed his small team of 3 to 7 cinematic developers to rapidly adjust the storyline and to focus on developing additional gameplay elements even up to the final few months of development, instead of waiting on a repeated prerendering process.

The dungeons were designed by.Throughout the late 1990s, the Nintendo 64 was said to lack hit first-party games. Next Generation wrote that 'Nintendo absolutely can't afford another holiday season without a real marquee title' and that Zelda was 'one of the most anticipated games of the decade', upon which the Nintendo 64's fate depended. In March 1998, Ocarina of Time was the most anticipated Nintendo 64 game in Japan. Chairman insisted at E3 1998 that Zelda ship on time and become Nintendo's reinvigorating blockbuster, akin to a hit Hollywood movie.Customers in North America who the Ocarina of Time received a limited-edition box with a golden plastic card reading 'Collector's Edition'. This edition contained a gold-colored cartridge, a tradition that began with the original (1986) for the. Demand was so great that stopped pre-selling the game on November 3, 1998.Several versions of Ocarina of Time were produced, with later revisions featuring minor changes such as repairs, the recoloring of Ganondorf's blood from crimson to green, and the alteration of the music heard in the Fire Temple dungeon to remove a sample of an Islamic prayer chant. The sample was taken from a commercially available sound library, but the developers did not realize it contained Islamic references.

Although popularly believed to have been changed due to public outcry, the chanting was removed after Nintendo discovered it violated policy of avoiding religious material, and the altered versions of Ocarina of Time were made prior to the original release. Music Ocarina of Time 's music was written by, the composer in charge of music for most of the games in The Legend of Zelda series. In addition to characters having musical themes, areas of Hyrule are also associated with pieces of music. This has been called in reverse—instead of music announcing an entering character, it now introduces a stationary environment as the player approaches. In some locations, the music is a variation of an ocarina tune the player learns, related to that area.Beyond providing a backdrop for the setting, music plays an integral role in gameplay. The button layout of the Nintendo 64 controller resembles the holes of the ocarinas in the game, and players must learn to play several songs to complete the game.

All songs are played using the five notes available on an ocarina, although by bending pitches via the analog stick, players can play additional tones. Kondo said that creating distinct themes on the limited scale was a 'major challenge', but feels that the end result is very natural. The popularity of Ocarina of Time led to an increase in ocarina sales.The official soundtrack of Ocarina of Time was published by and released in Japan on December 18, 1998. It comprises one compact disc with 82 tracks.

Version was also released, although with fewer tracks and different packaging artwork. Many critics praised the music in Ocarina of Time, although was disappointed that the traditional Zelda overworld theme was not included.

In 2001, three years after the initial release of Ocarina of Time, labeled it as one of the top ten video game soundtracks. The soundtrack, at the time, was not released in Europe or Australia. In 2011, however, a 51-track limited edition soundtrack for the 3DS version was available in a free mail out through a offer to owners of the 3DS edition, as an incentive to register the product. The original musical theme for the Fire Temple area was altered before release of the game, due to Nintendo's policy of not including real religious references in their products, with the altered theme simply removing the chanting.Hero of Time, an orchestral recording of Ocarina of Time 's score performed by the Slovak National Symphony Orchestra, was released by video game label in 2017. A vinyl version was published. It was nominated for 'Best Game Music Cover/Remix' at the 16th Annual Game Audio Network Guild Awards.

Rereleases Nintendo Ocarina of Time to its next console, the, as part of, a compilation of Zelda games. The port runs at a resolution of 640×480, quadruple that of the original, and supports. The compilation was included as a pre-order bonus with (2002) in Japan and North America and included in GameCube worldwide. It was also given to those who registered certain hardware and software or subscribed to official magazines and clubs.In February 2007, Ocarina of Time was released for the service for 1000 Wii Points. This version is an of the Nintendo 64 version; as controller vibration is unsupported, the 'Stone of Agony' item, which employs vibrations via the Nintendo 64 controller accessory, has no function. A five-minute demo of the game can be unlocked in (2008). Ocarina of Time was rereleased on the Virtual Console worldwide on July 2, 2015, this time including the original controller vibration.

Nintendo 3DS Remake. Link swims in the Water Temple while wearing the Zora Tunic, which allows him to breathe underwater.In June 2011, Nintendo released Ocarina of Time 3D, an enhanced port for the handheld console. It was developed by Nintendo EAD with, an independent Japanese studio headed. The game includes Master Quest and adds features including touchscreen and gyroscope controls, a 'Boss Challenge' mode, instructional videos to guide stuck players, and modified version of the Water Temple with reduced difficulty. Master Quest After completing Ocarina of Time, Nintendo developed a new version of the game for the then-unreleased 64DD peripheral with the working title Ura Zelda, commonly translated as 'Another Zelda'. Described as a second version of Ocarina with rearranged dungeons, it contains new content, some that had been cut from Ocarina due to time and storage constraints. In 1998, Ura Zelda was delayed indefinitely following problems with the development of the 64DD, and was canceled due to the 64DD's commercial failure.

In August 2000, Miyamoto stated that Ura Zelda had been finished and that no online functions had ever been planned.Ura Zelda was ported to the GameCube in 2002 in Japan as Zeruda no Densetsu: Toki no Okarina GC Ura ( ゼルダの伝説 時のオカリナ GC裏) and in 2003 in North America and Europe as The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Master Quest. According to Miyamoto, the Ura Zelda was simple to port as it used few of the 64DD features. Master Quest uses the same engine and plot of Ocarina of Time, but with increased difficulty and altered dungeons and puzzles.IGN's Peer Schneider gave Master Quest a mostly positive review, likening the concept to the second quest of the original Legend of Zelda. He felt that some redesigned areas were poorer than the original Ocarina of Time, and speculated that they may have been constructed from 'second choice' designs created during development.

He described the port as graphically improved, but contained no substantial improvement to the frame rate. He also expressed the controls translated to the GameCube controller felt clumsy.

Nonetheless, he summarized Master Quest as a 'sweet surprise for any Zelda fan' and wrote that he would have recommended it even at full price. Zachary Lewis of RPG Gamer praised the revised puzzles, which require precise timing and find new uses for the Ocarina items, but wrote that players would be enthralled or frustrated by the increased difficulty.

Although excelling in the use of color and the visibility and detail of the environment, reviewers noted that some graphical elements of Ocarina of Time did not perform as well as, a game released for the same platform earlier that year.

IGN said that the and textures of Ocarina of Time were not as good as those of Banjo-Kazooie, particularly in the marketplace of Hyrule Castle, which was called 'blurry'.Gameplay was generally praised as detailed, with many side quests to occupy players' time.

IGN praised the cinematics, citing great emotional impact and 'flawless camera work'. EGM enjoyed that Nintendo was able to take the elements of the older, 2D Zelda games and 'translate it all into 3D flawlessly'. Cited Ocarina of Time, along with Super Mario 64, as two games that 'blazed trails' into the 3D era. The context-sensitive control system was seen as one of the strongest elements of the gameplay.

It may sound like an excuse, but it is not because the N64 doesn't have access to a CD-ROM that we incorporated real-time movie processing. Quite the contrary, to the greatest extent possible we were able to make use of truly cinematic methods with our camera work without relying on the kind of data typically used to make cinema scenes.
