The Legend of Zelda:
The Ocarina of Time
The game will take place before all earlier Zelda games,
back in the mists of time when the evil Gannon wasn't even
Gannon, but only some sort of thief. This is the official
storyline so far:
As the story begins, Link is preparing for his coming-of-age
ceremony, where he will receive his guardian spirit. In the
tradition of his people, children receive a fairy from the
Fairy Tree when they reach adulthood. This fairy becomes a
person's life-long familiar, and accompanies him or her as
they seek their fortune in the maze-like forest which
surrounds their village, or in the lands beyond.
Link's ceremony, however, is not destined to be a happy one.
The Fairy Tree, source of guardian spirits, is captured by a
strange creature from the depths of the forest. Link is able
to locate his guardian spirit, Navie, and with her help,
slay the creature. However, in the process, the Fairy Tree
is grievously damaged. As its life force ebbs, the Fairy
Tree speaks the words that will shape Link's destiny.
"Do not allow the thief, Gannondorf, to claim the
Triforce..." the Tree mystically communicates. "Oh brave
one, you must take this sacred stone to a wise man..."
Gannondorf was infamous throughout the land for his evil
practices as the king of thieves. He lusted for the power of
the Triforce, and searched throughout Hyrule for its resting
place. Since Gannondorf was searching through the forest of
Link's people, Link knew he was in great danger. He took the
sacred stone from the Fairy Tree and set out for Hyrule
Castle, the capital of the Hyrulian people.
Upon entering the castle, Link is welcomed by the young
Princess Zelda, a woman of the Hyrulian royal family about
the same age as he. She is well aware of the crisis facing
the land of Hyrule. Zelda relates further details about the
Triforce's hiding place, telling Link that he needs to find
the three sacred stones that fit into a magical Ocarina,
which serves as the key to hidden realm. Link's race with
the evil Gannondorf to find the sacred stones and the hiding
place of the Triforce is on!
