Google Adds Ocarina of Time Master Sword Easter Egg
Searching for Ocarina of Time or Master Sword now brings up a sword that switches Google to a retro layout.
Google has added an easter egg tied to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, according to inside-games.jp. Searching for terms related to the game, such as "Ocarina of Time" or "Master Sword", makes a Master Sword appear in the lower right of the search page.
Clicking or tapping the sword triggers Link's voice and blue effects with a Triforce, and the page reverts to an older, retro-looking Google layout. Clicking the sword again returns the page to the current Google, and Link's voice changes from adult to child.
The easter egg began appearing around November 2, 2026.
Nintendo originally released The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo 64 on November 21, 1998. A Nintendo Switch 2 version is scheduled for November 5, 2026, priced at 8,980 yen (tax included) for the physical edition and 7,980 yen (tax included) for the download version.
