The Legend of Zelda series' first appearance on the Nintendo 64 brought many of the franchise's mainstays along with it. Ocarina of Time is the fifth game in the series and was developed by Nintendo's Entertainment Analysis and Development division for the Nintendo 64. It was the first Zelda game to be produced in 3D, and creator Shigeru Miyamoto was almost universally praised for smoothly transitioning Zelda into the 3D space and preserving the feel of the franchise.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was released in Japan on November 21, 1998, and in North America two days later.
