10 secrets many still haven’t found in Ocarina of Time
Released in 1998, Ocarina of time always sits on top of Top rated Metacritic games of all time list with an incredible score of 99 that will probably never be beaten.

Unsurprisingly, this amount of diversity in gameplay and exploration has meant that even today there are fans of the game who have missed a lot of Ocarina of timehidden areas and mechanics.
ten The bottle is mightier than the sword
Ocarina of time offers many weapons to players throughout the adventure. There’s Kokiri’s Sword, Biggoron’s Sword, Giant’s Knife, Master’s Sword, and more. This vast array of weapons is however supplanted by a fairly commonplace item in the fight against Ganondorf, a bottle.
When Ganondorf attacks players with his energy balls, the bottle is perfectly capable of deflecting them. If that wasn’t impressive enough, the Bottle is significantly better than the aforementioned weapons, due to its reduced swing animation.
9 Mojo nut is more powerful than the bottle
Bottles aren’t the only unorthodox weapons that can give players an edge at the end of the game, as Ganon is weak against one of the most common items in the game, Deku Nuts.
Throwing Mojo Nuts at Ganon’s tail will surprisingly damage the final boss, making it a great option when players can’t use their primary swords. Deku Nuts and Bottles may not seem like the most epic weapons, although it does symbolize Link’s humble beginnings.
8 A precious antiquity
The vast majority of people who have played Ocarina of time probably suspected that the large vase in the center of Goron town was of some importance, but few will have understood exactly what it is for.
To take advantage of the vase, players must light all the torches in the city as young Link; once this is done, the vase will begin to rotate. Once the vase begins to spin, throwing a bomb into it will reward players with bombs, rubies, or a piece of heart depending on where the faces of the vase are directed.
7 Prisoner of the Lakeside laboratory
The Lakeside Lab is located on a small hill in Lake Hylia. Inside the lab is the lake scientist, who is doing a lot of experiments.
One of the scientist’s most curious experiments is hidden behind a cage; dropping to the bottom of the pool, a lifelike trapped shark can be found sitting still. The purpose of the shark is unclear, although there is, unsurprisingly, many fan theories.
6 DIY repairs
As many people already know, it is possible to cut the panels into Ocarina of time with a well-placed sword blow. What many people won’t know, however, is that the panel can then be repaired.
Repairing the panel does not require any DIY skills, as players simply need to walk up to a broken panel and play Zelda’s lullaby for the wood to magically reattach.
5 Catch of the day
The fact that someone has found this secret for themselves is probably a good indication as to whether to trust this person, as it involves the liquidation of the innocent owner of the fishing pond.
If players throw Link’s fishing rod directly at the poor man behind the counter, they can steal his hat, revealing an unfortunate bald spot. If the player decides to add insult to injury and throw the hat into the pond, this will have many consequences: the owner will never wear the hat again, including in the final credits a sign will be erected stating ” Do not throw at anyone “, and the player will be fined 50 rupees.
4 A profitable crime
Although many people associate Skull Kids with Majora’s Mask, their first appearance was in the game’s predecessor, Ocarina of time. Some players will already know this because they will have obtained a piece of heart from them as young Link; what some people won’t know, however, is that it’s possible to kill the Skull Kids for a financial reward.
Killing Skull Kids is possible as an Adult Link when they become hostile. Biggorn’s sword range will almost hit enemies, granting Link 200 rupees.
3 Overkill for profit

2 An immoral shortcut
Killing for rubies is not the only mechanism in Ocarina of time this may have caused parents to question the relevance of the game, as it is also possible to bribe authority figures.
Near the start of the game, there is a section where Link has to reach Hyrule Castle by sneaking past the guards. It is possible to get a head start in this mission, as the guard at the start of the area will let players go through the door for 10 rupees.
1 A morbid moment
As many The Legend of Zelda Games, Ocarina of timeThe overall story of is very dark, although the game is never too sad or depressing. There is a section of the game that brings out the reality of the game’s story, hidden in an alleyway.
Between receiving the Ocarina of Time and reading in the Temple of Time, a guard will temporarily appear in an alley in Castle Town. The guard will inform Link of Ganandorf’s betrayal, before uncomfortably immobilizing himself; talking to Navi will almost confirm the guard’s disappearance with the blunt but unsettling “he’s not moving” line.
