Google includes a new “Ocarina of Time” Easter egg in its search experience. Several outlets report that searching for “Ocarina of Time” reveals an icon associated with the Master Sword, and clicking it changes the Google interface to a nostalgic, older look.
The effect described across sources is a trip back to the era of Google’s late-1990s search page design, with at least some mentions of familiar elements such as the older homepage layout and blue-style search results. Nintendo-themed outlets frame it as another entry in Google’s line of gaming-related surprises, while one source emphasizes the 1998 search-results aesthetic. Another outlet highlights the “travel back in time” framing and presents the interaction as the central feature.
Overall, the coverage largely agrees on the interaction (searching the phrase, seeing the Master Sword icon, and clicking it to trigger a 1998-themed mode). Differences are mainly in how each outlet describes the visual details and the emphasis placed on nostalgia versus the mechanics of the Easter egg.
