{{Main|Termina Clock | {{Main|Termina Clock, Song of Time}} | ||
Unlike the previous installment and arguably one of the major departures from the traditional ''Zelda'' gameplay, {{MM|-}} implements a time system. The time system cycles 72 in-game hours (about 54 minutes in real time), the time until the destruction of Clock Town by the Moon, which is plummeting to the earth because of the black magic influence of the Skull Kid. With the Ocarina of Time, Link is able to play the "Song of Time" to reset the cycle and return to the first of these three days as many times as he needs to. Link is the only one affected by the time travel; other inhabitants live as if nothing has happened. When traveling back in time, Link will lose all [[Rupee]]s, quantities of items (although not the items themselves; e.g. [[Arrow]]s but not the Bow, etc.), dungeon progress ([[Dungeon Map]]s, [[Compass]]es, etc. unless, of course, the dungeon is already completed) and most interactions with others (except for Tatl, and a few more). Going back to the First Day by playing the "Song of Time" also [[Saving|saves]] the game, the only way to do so the game; except in the Japanese version, players can also quicksave at [[Owl Statue]]s. | Unlike the previous installment and arguably one of the major departures from the traditional ''Zelda'' gameplay, {{MM|-}} implements a time system.

Skull Kid is confirmed to be from Hyrule as at the end of the game, he familiarizes Link as the one who taught him "[[Saria's Song|that song]]" in the [[Lost Woods]]. Termina consists of five large lands (or "worlds", as stated by [[Anju's Grandmother]]). The central region houses [[Clock Town]], [[Romani Ranch]], and [[Termina Field]]. Clock Town provides many forms of entertainment, featuring important attractions, and numerous recreative zones and tourism. It is also there where the annual [[Carnival of Time]] is celebrated. Romani Ranch is a large rural zone where various animals are taken care of, and milk is produced for its distribution to Clock Town. | ||
The [[Southern Swamp]] is located south, and is where various [[monkey]]s and monsters live, while the [[Deku Scrub|Deku]] tribe practices its monarchy in the [[Deku Palace]]. The swamp's waters are poisoned because of the creature living in [[Woodfall Temple]]. The [[Snowhead Mountain]] is located north, and is inhabited by the [[Goron]] tribe (who puts into practice a patriarchy, not unlike in Hyrule's [[Death Mountain]]). The mountain's weather indicates an extremely low temperature because of the creature living in [[Snowhead Temple]]. The [[Great Bay Coast]] is located west, and is inhabited by the proud [[Zora]] tribe (living in an [[Zora Cape|underwater reef]], and are known for their artistic linage in the musical department), as well as by [[Gerudo Pirates]] (living in a [[Pirates' Fortress|sinister complex]], and are known for their reputation of hunting treasure at all costs and by all means necessary), and humans (living in the coast itself, and doing miscellaneous activities such as scientific research and fishing). The coast's waters become murky because of the creature living in the [[Great Bay Temple]]. Finally, [[Ikana Canyon]] lies east, and the entire region is invaded by undead entities because of the creatures living in the [[Stone Tower Temple]]. It used to be inhabited by humans before this, but now the only living people found there are [[Sakon]], [[Pamela]] and [[Pamela's Father|her father]]. | The [[Southern Swamp]] is located south, and is where various [[monkey]]s and monsters live, while the [[Deku Scrub|Deku]] tribe practices its monarchy in the [[Deku Palace]].
