The story follows young Link, a Kokiri boy without a fairy, who is summoned by the Great Deku Tree to protect the Kingdom of Hyrule from the evil Gerudo king Ganondorf. Guided by the fairy Navi and wielding the magical Ocarina of Time, Link travels through time to save the realm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rather than an upscaled port or a minor visual remaster, this new entry rebuilds the iconic adventure from the ground up for the power of Nintendo Switch 2.
