10 Zelda: Ocarina of Time Secrets You’ve Probably Never Heard Of

November 21 marks the 20th anniversary of one of gaming’s most beloved titles, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Ocarina of Time was the first 3D entry in the Zelda franchise, and practically wrote the book on the future of action-adventure games with its breathtaking world, thrilling battles, and complex dungeons.
