The Legend of Zelda Story



The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time promises to be the best game of the decade, if not all of the video game era this century, and will undoubtedly live up to all its hype. LS has managed to squeeze some tidbits of information from various sources to come up with a probable storyline:
Your adventure begins with Link's "coming of age" ceremony. This is where Link will receive his own guardian spirit from the Fairy Tree, when all of a sudden an evil monster (perhaps Gannondorf) attacks and steals the tree. Navie, Link's fairy, somehow manages to escape and then tells Link of the dangers thatare facing Hyrule and that Gannondorf is trying desperately to unlock the secrets of the Triforce. Navie then accompanies Link through his adventure to once again save Hyrule.


Zelda 64 starts with Link in the rain. A cinematic cutscene shows Link watching in fear as a stately knight leaves Hyrule Castle on horseback -- with him, a young elven princess, Zelda. Link runs to the lowered draw bridge and tries to cross the castle moat, but his path his blocked by a dark figure. There, in the middle of the pouring rain stands Ganondorf, a thief with a greedy grin and a nose as big as Cyrano de Bergerac's. Thus begins Link's adventure on the N64, a tale of elves and dragons, of good and evil, and of time.


There are other scenarios that we know for certain will be in the game. The Deku Tree is seen asking Link to save it from doom. Link must travel inside the tree and exterminate all of the Deku Seeds and Deku Baba's, plus numerous other fiends in order to accomplish this mission.


A number of old "goodies" have been brought back and some new ones have been added. Link now has a horse which can gallop, walk, and jump over some platforms. The horse use carrots for a food source and requires them to do the many things Link will need to accomplish. Another new additon is Link's fairy, Navie. She is very useful and changes color depending on the scenario Link is in. Some old characters include Princess Zelda, Gannondorf, and Gannon.
