    Musical Instruments have been featured in every ''The Legend of Zelda seriesLegend of Zelda'' game except ''The Legend of Zelda: Four SwordsFour Swords'' and ''The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords AdventuresFour Swords Adventures''. The instruments have different powers, ranging from summoning a creature to waking a fish.

    ''The Legend of Zelda'' - In the original ''The Legend of Zelda'' the instrument is a flute (called a "recorder" in the game). When played in the Overworld, it will teleport Link to the entrance of one of the dungeons (in order rather than random). It can also be used to kill Pols Voices and comes in handy with fighting the boss of the fifth dungeon, Digdogger.

    ''Zelda II: The Adventure of Link'' - The flute makes another appearance in ''Zelda II: The Adventure of Link''. It is used to deafeat the Sea Palace Boss.

    ''A Link to the Past'' - The flute gets a new design in ''A Link to the Past'', and now looks like an ocarina. It only works in the Light World. Playing it in front of the rooster statue releases a duck, which can then fly Link to a chosen location on the map.

    ''BS Zelda: Kodai no Sekiban'' - The flute can be used to teleport to numbered places, but this time around each number corresponds directly with a dungeon, with Japanese symbols for non-dungeon destinations. In dungeons it also has the function of the Magic Mirror of ''A Link to the Past'', transporting the hero back to the entrance of that dungeon. Note that in the fan translation it is called an Ocarina, but this is not so in the Japanese original.

    ''Link's Awakening'' - In ''Link's Awakening'', the flute is now called an ocarina. Link must enter the Dream Shrine and go to sleep there, and then make his way through the shrine until he finally reaches the ocarina. In the course of his journey Link will learn three songs: the Ballad of the Wind Fish, Manbo's Mambo, and Frog's Song of Soul. The Ballad of the Wind Fish is taught by Marin, and is used to enter the Wind Fish's egg. Manbo's Mambo teleports Link to Crazy Tracey's pond, and Frog's Song of Soul restores the Flying Rooster and rebuilds the eighth temple.

    ''Ocarina of Time'' - Early on Link is given a Fairy Ocarina, but the key instrument in this game is the titular ''Ocarina of Time''. Link receives it from Princess Zelda as she flees the castle with Impa. It is used much more than in previous games. Link can now teleport himself to different places (for example, the Graveyard of Lake Hylia). Link can also summon his horse and even make it rain.In this game the "Song of Time" is mainly used to open the door in the Temple of Time to reveal the Master Sword and the Sacred Realm. After that, it is only used to move blue blocks to help you achieve your goals in temples.

    ''Majora's Mask'' - The Ocarina of Time makes another appearance in ''Majora's Mask''. It is stolen from Link by the Skull Kid, but later is returned to him. It has much the same functionality except for a few changes. Link now only has one teleporting song, which teleports him to different points, he have a song that awakens, and song that puts someone asleep, and a song that makes copies of himself. The Song of Storms and Epona's Song make repeat appearances as does the Song of Time is also back, but this time it has a much bigger purpose. It allows Link to rewind, fast forward, and slow down time.

    ''Oracle of Ages'' and ''Seasons'' - In ''Oracle of Ages'' and ''Seasons'', Link receive a flute, but it only does one thing: it calls his animal friend. There are three flutes, but Link can only have one. He can receive each flute by doing a specific thing at a certain point in the game.

    ''The Wind Waker'' - The titular instrument in this game, actually a baton, the Wind Waker, has the main purpose of letting Link control the winds. Later on it also lets him control statues and people (Makar and Medli), and make day into night. It is given to Link by the King of Red Lions, and was used in ancient times to conduct music for the gods.

    ''The Minish Cap'' - The Ocarina of Wind is acquired rather late in the game; it teleports Link to a chosen location as long as he has already gone to the place he is teleporting to and has smashed the Wind Crest there to unlock that destination.

    ''Twilight Princess'' - In ''Twilight Princess'', the only known musical instrument so far in known as horse grass. So far it is known to be able to summon Link's falcon and horse, but it may well have other uses.
