Ocarina of Time- The story
A Hylian mother carried a helpless newbornbaby across a battle field. She could not have survived but knew that her child could, if she found the strength to carry him to the Great Deku Tree in Kokiri Forest. And so it was done.
Link was the boy's name. He grew up in Kokiri Forest, and was raised as a Kokiri. Unlike his friends, LInk had no guardian fairy. Though when LInk reached the age of 10, The Great Deku Tree send him Navi, a trusted fairy.
Gannondorf, a Gerudo wanted to obtain the triforce by stealing the three spiritual stones from the Deku Tree, the Gorons, and King Zora. Link was the chosen one. He would have to stop him.
