Saving
Your game is saved whenever you play the Song of Time on the Ocarina of Time to travel back in time to the beginning of the first day. Remember, some things will be saved and some won’t, so be careful!

Owl Statues
There are also a number of Owl Statues scattered across Termina, which can be activated by hitting them with your sword. You can then use them at any time to carry out an Interrupt Save (quicksave), which temporarily saves your full progress and position, and ends the game.

Note: Interrupt Save files will be erased after you load the save file, and will be replaced by your most recent Song of Time save. Ensure that you save regularly to avoid losing your progress.
