Google Search has begun showing a Master Sword on screen when users search for "The Legend of Zelda," "Zelda," "Ocarina of Time," or "Master Sword." Clicking or tapping the sword pulls it from its pedestal, sends a blue effect and the Triforce across the page, and plays a voice thought to be Link's. Each tap toggles the results page between the modern Google design and a retro layout with a polygonal sword. The results count reads "1998 results," a nod to the year the original Nintendo 64 release arrived, and the search time is listed as 0.64 seconds alongside a NINTENDO 64 note. The gimmick was spotted around November 2, ahead of the Nintendo Switch 2 remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, which is scheduled for November 5 at 7,980 yen for the download version and 8,980 yen for the packaged version. Google has not disclosed how long the promotion will run.
