[[Sacred Grove]] (Twilight Princess)

'''Zelda's Lullaby''' is one of the most reoccuring songs in ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|The Legend of Zelda series]]''. It is most often used as [[Zelda|Zelda's]] theme song whenever she makes an appearance, often only the first time. It is also known as the melody of the Hyrule [[Royal Family]]. The song is only playable in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' with the [[Fairy Ocarina]] or the [[Ocarina of Time]] and [[Howling Stone]]s respectively.

=== ''A Link to the Past'' ===

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', the song mostly serves as background music when [[Link]] meets [[Princess Zelda]] for the first time. It also plays whenever [[Link]] rescues one of the [[Maiden|Seven Maidens]] after defeating each of the [[Dark World]] [[Dungeon]]s. The song is not known as Zelda's Lullaby in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', however, the notes are the same, so it is safe to assume that "Zelda's Lullaby" can also be known as "Zelda's Theme."

=== ''Ocarina of Time'' ===

"Zelda's Lullaby" gets its name from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. When [[Link]] learns the song from [[Impa]], she informs him that it is a sacred song passed down throughout the generations in the [[Royal Family]] and that it served as Zelda's lullaby when she was young. This song is one of the most important in the game, as it is used frequently to gain access to new areas. The first time you must play it is to gain entrance to [[Darunia]]'s chambers in [[Goron City]] on [[Death Mountain]]. The next time is to get through the waterfall outside of Zora's Domain. It is used in the [[Water Temple]] to change the level of the water. It is used in the [[Shadow Temple]] to start the boat moving. It is required in the [[Spirit Temple]] to open a sealed door. You also are required to play it to summon the Great Fairies in the Great Fairy Fountains.
