Summary
- Google search now features a secret Easter egg related to Zelda.
- Typing 'zelda' reveals a Master Sword that triggers a 1998 Google.
- This interactive feature celebrates the original Ocarina of Time launch year.
Google has introduced a special Easter egg inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. This secret feature allows users to experience Google as it appeared in 1998, the year the original game was released.
To access this retro experience, users simply need to search for "zelda" on Google. A Master Sword will appear, which, upon clicking, initiates a visual transition. This transports the user back to a minimalist version of Google from 1998, complete with its characteristic blue links.
This delightful feature celebrates not only the upcoming remake of the Nintendo 64 classic but also the cultural touchstones of 1998. Iconic films, music, and trends from that year are recalled, offering a wave of nostalgia for users.
Discussions surrounding the upcoming remake have also highlighted its development, with insights from series producer Eiji Aonuma suggesting that younger team members' unfamiliarity with the original game was beneficial for the new version.
