I had a bad rom so I did the updates from the Download section and it prompted me to push f5 when I opened the rom itself so I did and accidentally I did it while I had my game open..I was pretty far in Zelda too.

Is there ANYWAY to get back to my last previous save?

Oh btw, hi, P64 is awesome!

Were you saving the game by hitting F5 all that time, or did you save internally at times?

Check the Save folder from where you have Project64 installed.
Look for save files named after the game.

There should be an SRA file that's 32 KB, but that's the native save, which you suggest you have never written to.
The emulated saves (save states / instant/quick saves) are the *.PJ.ZIP files.

If you only have one, that is the file you had been replacing over and over all that time, and there is no way to revert to their previous binaries in time.
If you do happen to have more than one of those there might be a backup.

Is there a way to search for this save folder because I can't find it.

Check your Windows Start menu for a search option.
Search for "*.SRA".

In most cases you'd come up with an SRA file named after Ocarina of Time.

Nothing :(

Definitely not starting over. Guess I'll just start Majora's Mask.

Were you able to find the project 64 folder at all? You weren't exactly clear whether you couldn't find the project 64 folder or whether you couldn't find the game save within the folder.

Running on weird assumptions here....Could you go back with Windows System Restore and get your old save file or rom back?
