*In Version 1.2, Ganon's blood is green. They also changed the music in the Fire Temple because it contained an Arabic phrase that translates to "I bear witness that there is no God, but Allah." This was found offensive by the Muslim community.

*On the official timeline, ''Ocarina of Time'' follows ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past & Four Swords|Four Swords]]''. This game is an important nexus point for the timeline, as the timeline branches out into three different timelines from this game's events:
+
==Sequels==
−
**The time in which Link defeated Ganondorf in the future, commonly referred to as the Adult Timeline, continues on into ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]''.
 
−
**In the game's ending, Princess Zelda sends Link back in time to his own childhood so that he could use his knowledge of the future to prematurely stop Ganondorf's rise to power and truly experience his childhood. This branch of the timeline is referred to as the Child Timeline. The Hero of Time's adventures continue within this time in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', and this timeline leads into ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''.
 
−
**The third branch of the timeline is not tied to the game's time travel and instead follows a hypothetical series of events in which Link is killed by Ganondorf in the final battle, and Ganondorf is able to claim the full Triforce before being sealed in the Dark World. This branch primarily contains the classic pre-''Ocarina'' games and leads into ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]''.
 
−
*''Ocarina'' was for a long time acknowledged as the earliest game in the ''Zelda'' chronology, although its place was contested by ''The Minish Cap''. ''Skyward Sword'' has since been made into the earliest game.
 
−
*The game was originally conceived as a telling of the Imprisoning War from the backstory to ''A Link to the Past''. This is evident from several plot points in the game, as there is the presence of [[sage]]s and the first threat posed by [[Ganondorf]], the corruption of the [[Sacred Realm]] into the [[Dark World]] and Ganondorf being sealed into the Dark World by the sages. ''Ocarina'' wound up having several inconsistencies, as Ganondorf was sealed in the Dark World with only part of the Triforce and did not permanently become Ganon. The new third split in the timeline was made to partially amend these contradictions (and mostly likely partly because ''The Wind Waker'' and ''Twilight Princess'' took spots on the timeline that could have gone to ''A Link to the Past'').
 
−
*''Ocarina'' also takes some influence from the NES games. A new incarnation of [[Impa]] appears (which is technically her first in-game appearance due to her previous instruction manual-only role). Five of the sages and the character [[Mido]] are all named after towns from ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]'' to give the implication that their historical importance led to the towns being named after them. [[Volvagia]], a boss from ''Zelda II'', also appears within this game with a storyline role.
 
−
*This game details some of Hyrule's mythology, primarily in relation to the [[Golden Goddesses]]. This game names them and reveals them as goddesses (whereas previously they were just called gods). More of the rules of the [[Triforce]] are also elaborated, and this is the first game where the three principal characters (Link, Zelda and Ganondorf) all wind up with their corresponding Triforce pieces.

''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'' was followed by ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]''. The sequel used the same basic engine, but included a unique three-day cycle as well as new items and the ability for young Link to ride Epona.

*In February 2003, ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Master Quest'' was made available as a preorder bonus for ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker]]''. This bonus disc contained both the original ''Ocarina of Time'' and a new version known as the Master Quest. The Master Quest, which was originally going to be released for the 64 DD prior to its failure, was an enhanced version of ''Ocarina'' in which the dungeons were redesigned to be harder in a manner similar to the "second quest" of ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''.
