possible saving glitch in Ocarina of Time

So I've gotten to the point in the game where I first enter Kakariko Village. I save as soon as I enter the town, but when I open Project 64 and run the Ocarina of Time rom to load my save file, it always loads me right back to Link's house in Kokiri Forest. I retain all the items and powerups I've already collected, e.g. 50-shot bullet bag, pieces of heart, gold skulltula tokens, but it always starts me at Link's house. Now, I've never before played Ocarina of Time, so I wasn't sure if this is what's supposed to be happening at this point of the game or if this is indeed some kind of glitch. Anyone care to shed some light on it?

If it helps, I'm running this on Windows Vista.

Ah, OK. I thought as much. Thanks for clearing it up. And I am enjoying it so far to be sure.
