The '''Ocarina of Wind''' is an item received in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]''. Throughout the game, [[Link]] and [[Ezlo]] encounter gravestone-like tablets in different areas around [[Hyrule]], which crumble away when interacted with, revealing a wing-like symbol on the ground. When the Ocarina of Wind is played, the bird [[Zeffa]] appears and can carry you to any one of the eight [[Wind Crest]]s found around Hyrule.

It functions similarly to the [[Song of Soaring]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', where you would have to hit [[Owl Statue]]s with your sword to activate them, allowing you to revisit them by playing the Song of Soaring on the [[Ocarina of Time]].

The Ocarina of Wind is a blue ocarina, similar to the [[Ocarina of Time]]. When played, the Ocarina of Wind will play the same melody that the Recorder in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' played (albeit more smooth and pleasant to hear), and Zeffa will fly from the side.

After defeating [[Mazaal]] in the [[Fortress of Winds]], Link will approach a tablet of stone in the room behind the Boss Room. After reading a message left behind by the [[Wind Tribe]], who left some years prior, Zeffa will fly in from the side and drop the Ocarina of Wind behind Link. The Ocarina is required to advance through the game after that. A Wind Crest is open in Lake Hylia, but Link had never interacted with it, and it takes you to a raised platform by a Minish House, inside of which a Picori will tell you about Elder Librari.

There are eight Wind Crests located around Hyrule, seven of which must be activated manually by interacting with the gravestone-like tablets. They are found in the following locations, in order of appearance.
