Trivia
Kaepora Gaebora, the large owl who supports and informs Link throughout his adventure, has been confirmed to be the physical form of Rauru, the Sage of Light. Link meets Rauru in the Chamber of the Sages, the first time when he pulls out the Master Sword in the Temple of Time. According to the series' lore, Rauru built the Temple of Time and remained inside the Chamber of the Sages to protect the Triforce, with the owl as his way to communicate with the outside world. Headmaster Gaepora from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (2011) is rumored to be a direct ancestor of Rauru (as both men look very alike and are very knowledgeable).

Goofs
During the party at Lon Lon Ranch during the end credits, there are several Kokiri around. However, if what one Kokiri says earlier in the game is to be believed, no Kokiri can leave the Kokiri Forest, or they'll vanish. Saria is an exception, since she's a sage, but if what that other Kokiri said is true, the Kokiri that are at the party shouldn't have been able to attend. It's possible the story of Kokiri vanishing if they leave the forest, however, may have just been a false superstition.

Alternate versions
A common misconception is that only the gold version of the cartridge represented the first version of the game. In reality, a limited number of Version 1.0 gray cartridges were produced following the gold version preorders, before various elements of the game were tweaked, such as the Fire Temple music and Ganon's blood color.

A Legend that will never die

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the most fantastic game ever created in history. The storyline captures our attention and emotions. Link, Zelda, Malon, Saria, Darunia and everyone else are almost real and amazing. Nintendo did its greatest job ever! The graphics and land of Hyrule are breathtaking. The song is something I've never expected to hear. It's fantastic, it's extremely dramatic, especially the opera tunes that play when we witness the Creation of Hyrule or prepare to receive a Medallion at the Chamber of the Sages. The Ocarina is the best tool of the game. I love to play it, especially the songs we learn through Sheik. No game, not even Super Mario 64, not even Goldeneye, not even Jedi Knight, not even the original Legends of Zelda (A Link to the Past-1991, The Legend of Zelda-1986) will ever be able to overcome a game that has become a legend. It's the greatest creation in history. Nintendo will never be surpassed by Sega or Sony. It's the BEST!!!
