The base game mechanic behind ''Ocarina of Time'' is its titular "time travel" concept in which the hero travels backward and forward seven years in time by removing the [[Master Sword]] from its pedestal in the [[Temple of Time]] or vice versa. This blade is in turn used to defeat the game's boss monsters and seal the King of Evil, [[Ganon]]dorf, in the [[Sacred Realm]]. Time travel is also used heavily in the various side stories and side quests. The other massive innovation is the use of the [[Ocarina of Time]]. The use of this instrument allows the hero to teleport to various locations, influence certain elements of the scenery, influence the time of day and the weather, speak with the hero's friend [[Saria]], and summon your horse. This aspect introduced a heavy use of instruments in the series and has popularized the ocarina instrument since.
