Google’s Ocarina Of Time Easter Egg Will Transport You Back To The Internet Of Old
Google has added an *Ocarina of Time* Easter egg to its search page, turning a search for the game into a nostalgic trip back to the web of 1998. The feature revisits the simple, blocky look of early search pages.
Search results for “Ocarina of Time” show a small Master Sword icon in the bottom right. Clicking it pushes the sword into its pedestal and changes the page’s appearance, including its links, search bar and Google logo; the article notes the game is launching on Switch 2 this week.
In short
- Google’s Easter egg recreates its 1998 search page.
- Click the Master Sword icon to activate it.
- The feature coincides with the game’s Switch 2 launch.
Explained simply
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is a fantasy adventure game first released in 1998 for Nintendo’s Nintendo 64 console. Players guide Link through a world of dungeons, puzzles and battles, using an ocarina, a small musical instrument, as part of the adventure.
Google is a search engine, while an Easter egg is a hidden feature added for people to discover. The game remains familiar to many players, and its release is often associated with the early era of 3D console games and the simpler design of websites in the late 1990s.
