Link must reach the Triforce, a sacred relic of immense power, before Ganondorf can claim it. In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, his quest begins after a curse strikes his village’s guardian, the Great Deku Tree, and sends him to Hyrule Castle for answers.
Exploration and dungeon puzzles involve using items and music. Learned songs can open access to new areas, solve puzzles and transport Link to different locations. Time travel also shapes the adventure: players begin as child Link and later control his adult form, with each possessing certain unique abilities.
