One of the standout achievements of Ocarina of Time is that it took the concept of an instrument as an item — previously seen in the 2D Zelda games, starting with the very first — and expanded on it in the most creative ways available.  Previously, instruments in the Zelda series had had limited utility.  The Legend of Zelda’s Recorder acted strictly as a warp item.

These two beautiful young ladies are known as the Harp Twins. If that name doesn’t say it all, these two are identical twins who play the harp. On top of that, the two are also actresses and have appeared in several films. Their most recent video is an electric duet harp arrangement of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Main Theme (Ballad of the Goddess)! The version is just absolutely amazing and you just have to listen to it if…

Caleb has been working hard on completing much of the Skyward Sword content here at the website and part of this includes creating some high quality video guides. One of his most recent guides is an elaborate video showcasing how to properly play the harp with Kina to earn a piece of heart.

So we have heard so much about the Harp in the upcoming Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword but today we finally get to see the musical instrument in action. A new video releases showcases how Link plays the Harp. He just holds down the A button, while moving the Wiimote to strum the Harp. At this point in time we’re not sure if there is anything much more to it than this. We don’t know if there are distinct songs…

Youtube member TwilightWakerofTime has recently posted a video of her playing the main theme of Skyward Sword on the harp. The theme is short but very well made. In her description she mentioned that she really wanted to learn and play this on the harp since there are no other harp versions of this song available so far.

NOTE: This trailer does contain quite a bit of Spoilers, so watch it only if you don’t mind seeing some of the cinematics that are going to be found within the game. These trailers just keep coming in! This one covers the Harp, the musical instrument in Skyward Sword.

The Legend of Zelda series has spawned some of the best video game soundtracks of all time. As a testament to the greatness of the scores of these games, fans have created countless renditions of Zelda songs and other music inspired by the series.

It is one of the most…
