Zelda: Ocarina of Time Google Easter Egg Revealed

What you’re seeing is Google from 1998, the year the original Ocarina of Time launched. It was the year of the Saving Private Ryan movie, the rise of teen pop icons like Britney Spears and breakthrough television shows like Sex and the City. The Boy Is Mine by Brandy and Monica would have been blasting from the stereos of passing cars, kids would have been playing with Furbys, and everyone was rocking a Nokia. Ah, nostalgia. Google’s 1998 version even has the “I’m feeling lucky” option, which would just take you to a random search result.

As Nintendo has pulled back the curtain on The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, we’ve begun to get a better understanding of how this Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive will look and feel to play. IGN has already got you covered with an extensive hands-on preview, as well as a roundup of all the changes we’ve noticed so far compared to the N64 masterpiece.

While you wait, check out a special episode of Nintendo Voice Chat where we dive deeper into our Zelda preview. Meanwhile, Eiji Aonuma, producer of the Zelda series at Nintendo, recently admitted some of the younger members of his team had never played the original game, but insisted that was very much a good thing for the development of the remake.
