7	''Ocarina of Time'' is the fifth entry in ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' series, originally released for the Platform/Nintendo64 in November 1998 in Japan and North America, followed by Europe in December.
8
9	It is the first 3D game in the series and the first [[MediaNotes/TheFifthGenerationOfConsoleVideoGames 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. It's also the first ''Zelda'' game that Creator/EijiAonuma worked on.
10
11	The story follows a young boy named Link, the only member of his forest village without a fairy. Following some [[DreamingOfThingsToCome 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 HiddenElfVillage to the magnificent Hyrule Castle and then to all points of Hyrule in a quest to stop the [[DevilInPlainSight evil thief-king Ganondorf]] from seizing the power of the omnipotent Triforce.
12
13	Unfortunately, [[YouCantThwartStageOne things don't go according to plan]]. Link is sealed away, and [[TimeSkip when he wakes up seven years later]], [[BadFuture Hyrule has become a dark and twisted version of its former self]]. All is not lost though: there exists one final hope in Link, [[PlotRelevantAgeUp who is now old enough]] to [[NextTierPowerUp wield the Master Sword]] and accept [[TheChosenOne 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.
14
15	According to ''Literature/HyruleHistoria'', this game takes place fourth in the overall timeline of the series and its events cause a three-way split in time, with each AlternateTimeline branching off from its events. Its immediate chronological sequel starring the same Link is ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask 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.
16
17	The game has had numerous [[UpdatedRerelease rereleases]] -- in particular, ''Master Quest'', a preorder bonus for ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker The Wind Waker]]'' in 2002, which included the original game along with a second version (originally intended for release on the 64DD add-on) with harder dungeons.
18
19	The game had a [[VideoGameRemake remake]] produced by Creator/{{Grezzo}} for the Platform/Nintendo3DS in 2011, titled ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D'', which updated the visuals and controls, but left the story, music[[note]]save for a newly orchestrated piece over the porting team's half of the end credits[[/note]], world, and even some of the [[AscendedGlitch glitches and bugs]] intact. The ''Master Quest'' version of dungeons was also an unlockable in the 3DS remake[[note]] It's unlocked once one game of classic ''Ocarina of Time'' is completed and Ganon is defeated [[/note]]- this time adding extra twists by flipping the entire game world horizontally in the tradition of the Wii version of ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess Twilight Princess]]'', but also doubling the damage Link takes from enemies and obstacles.
