The Legend of Zelda™: Ocarina of Time™ – one of the most critically
acclaimed games ever made –returns on the Nintendo eShop for Wii U™. Set
off on a legendary journey to stop Ganondorf, who has plunged Hyrule
into darkness. Travel through time as child and adult Link™ and
experience Hyrule in peace and war to save the world and protect the
Triforce.

Your quest takes you through dense forests and across wind-whipped
deserts. Swim raging rivers, climb treacherous mountains, dash on
horseback across rolling hills, and delve into dungeons full of
creatures that fight to the finish to put an end to your adventures. As
Link, you'll also travel through time to solve puzzles, save friends,
and right Ganondorf's wrongs with the help from your trusty Ocarina of
Time and the mysterious youth, Sheik. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of
Time is one of Nintendo's most epic challenges ever and one of its most
touching stories, and is an absolute must-play for Nintendo fans.
