Summoned by the guardian spirit, the Great Deku Tree, Link learns of an impending danger: Ganondorf, leader of the Gerudo, seeks the Triforce, a sacred relic that grants godlike power.

With the aid of Princess Zelda and his fairy companion Navi, Link embarks on a quest to secure the three Spiritual Stones and open the path to the Sacred Realm before Ganondorf can seize control of Hyrule.

The adventure spans both Link’s childhood and adulthood, with time itself becoming central to his mission.

Gameplay is presented from a third-person perspective in a fully 3D environment, a first for the Legend of Zelda series .

Players guide Link across overworld fields, villages, rivers, and dungeons, each with its own enemies, puzzles, and bosses.

Combat mixes swordplay, shields, and ranged weapons, with a lock-on targeting system that allows precise movement and attacks.

Defeating enemies yields rupees, recovery hearts, or other items.

Exploration is closely tied to acquiring tools such as bombs, a slingshot, hookshot, and bow, which are often required to solve environmental puzzles and progress through dungeons.

Progression alternates between exploration of the open overworld and the completion of multi-room dungeons.

Each dungeon contains keys, maps, and compasses that aid navigation, as well as unique treasures that expand Link’s abilities.

Boss fights serve as climactic tests of newly acquired equipment, requiring observation and timing.

Collectible heart pieces hidden throughout the world gradually extend Link’s maximum health, while side quests often reward players with masks, upgraded gear, or expanded item capacity.

The Ocarina of Time itself is a core mechanic.

Link learns melodies that trigger in-game effects, such as changing the time of day, summoning rain, teleporting to specific loca

About Nintendo 64

The Nintendo 64 (1996) stuck with cartridges after most competitors moved to CDs, trading longer load times for near-instant game access and durability that's held up well over nearly three decades. N64 cartridges are largely intact and functional today, and while common titles are affordable, several late-release and multiplayer-focused games with smaller print runs have become firmly established as valuable collector pieces.

Gamevaro tracks The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for Nintendo 64 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This N64 release dates back to 1998.
