My Nintendo News reports that users can trigger the experience by searching Google for “Zelda Ocarina of Time” and clicking a glowing Master Sword at the bottom right of the page. The search view then reportedly changes to resemble how Google looked in 1998, the year the original game arrived on the Nintendo 64.
The activation provides a small promotional bridge between the forthcoming Nintendo Switch 2 version and the game’s original release era. However, the supplied material contains no direct official Google or Nintendo announcement confirming the search feature, so the details remain based on third-party reporting rather than an independently verified company statement.
Separate My Nintendo News coverage identifies Nintendo EPD Production Group No. 3 as the developer of the Nintendo Switch 2 version. The publication also characterizes the group as the team behind Nintendo’s mainline 3D Zelda games. That development report supplies context about the game itself but does not independently confirm the Google activation.
The promotion arrives alongside other reported activity connected with the release. GAMEWAVE reports that Nintendo confirmed or announced a restock of a 40th-anniversary collector’s-edition Nintendo Switch 2 associated with The Legend of Zelda. That hardware report is related to the game’s wider launch context, but it is not evidence that Google created the search experience.
Key practical details remain unclear in the supplied reporting. My Nintendo News gives the activation steps but does not establish how long the experience will remain available or which geographic markets can access it, leaving the promotion’s reach and lifespan unresolved.
