Seven years later, Link is awakened in the [[Chamber of Sages]] by an old man named [[Rauru]]. He reveals that Link is the Hero of Time, who is the person that can pull the Master Sword from its pedestal. He also explains that Link's spirit was locked away in the Sacred Realm because he was too young to be the Hero of Time and defeat Ganondorf. Rauru also tells Link that Ganondorf used the stolen Triforce to transform [[Hyrule]] into a land filled with darkness and monsters. He then instructs Link to find the other missing [[Sage]]s, who have the collective power to trap Ganondorf within the Sacred Realm. However, five of the Sages are unaware of their identity as one, so Rauru grants Link with the [[Light Medallion]] and instructs him to find the other missing Sages.

[[File:Ganondorf confrontation OoT.jpg|thumb|Link is confronted by Ganondorf at the end of his castle.]]

After awakening every Sage, Link returns to the Temple of Time, where Sheik tells another legend of the Triforce, explaining that it to be a fusion of three triangles that represent the three virtues governed by [[Din|the]] [[Nayru|three]] [[Farore|goddesses]]: Power, Wisdom, and Courage. If the person holding the Triforce has a balance of these virtues, then they can obtain the Triforce intact. However, if that person does not have a balance of those virtues, then the Triforce splits into three pieces, and the owner only keeps the piece of whichever virtue they most strongly believe in. The prophecy is a reference to Ganondorf's case, where his strongest belief was in power, and therefore he lost the other two parts of the Triforce. The legend further states that the person must strive to acquire the two missing parts, each one being safeguarded by a person with the crest of the goddesses on the back of their hands.

The items and weapons that Link uses often depends on whether he is a child or an adult. The player can assign items to either {{button|N64|C-down}}, {{button|N64|C-left}}, and {{button|N64|C-right}} from the Select Item Subscreen.

Both ocarinas play exactly the same using {{button|N64|A}}, {{button|N64|C-down}}, {{button|N64|C-right}}, {{button|N64|C-left}}, and {{button|N64|C-up}}.

{| class="wikitable sortable"

There are two trading sequences in the game. The first primarily involves [[mask]]s. There are eight masks that Link can wear as a child. They are optional and most do not have any purpose aside from others reacting differently when seeing Link. A few of these masks would later play a major role in ''The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask''.

|}

As an adult, Link can participate in a trading sequence where he must trade ten items, each to a different character, until finally receiving the Biggoron's Sword.

===Equipment===

[[File:OoT Equipment Subscreen.png|thumb|320px|The Equipment Subscreen, which shows all available equipment.]]

NTSC version 1.2 had some more noticeable changes. The PAL versions 1.0 and 1.1 are similar to this version.

*[[Ganondorf]] and [[Ganon]]'s blood was changed from crimson to green, in one instance changing a spitting-up-blood animation into a simple vomiting one.

*A glitch where the player can drop [[Bomb]]s down on [[Bongo-Bongo]] before the battle was fixed. This glitch caused Bongo-Bongo to be invisible throughout most of the battle.

*Some minor text changes and improvements were done to the dialogue.
