Google is celebrating the upcoming Ocarina of Time remaster with a search Easter egg that transforms its interface into a 1998-style retro design when users search for "Zelda" or "Ocarina of Time." Clicking an animated Master Sword triggers a time-skipping animation and reimagines the search page with classic blue links and simplified branding, though searching within the retro view sends users back to the modern interface.
Background
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was released on Nintendo 64 in 1998 and is widely regarded as one of the greatest video games ever made. A remastered version is set for imminent release in 2026, prompting Google to create the nostalgic Easter egg.
