In short

Explained simply
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is an adventure game in which the player guides Link, a young hero, across the kingdom of Hyrule. Its story centres on the Triforce, a powerful relic, and Ganondorf, a ruler seeking to control it.
The Master Sword is a key weapon in the story, and Link’s attempt to claim it opens the way to the Sacred Realm, a place connected to the Triforce. What happens there helps explain the change in Hyrule and the conflict that follows.
