The '''Goddess's Harp''' is the primary musical instrument found within ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''. [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]] can be seen playing the harp early on in the quest, but Link acquires the harp himself after a scene at the [[Temple of Time]]. It is also used by [[Sheik]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''.

==Skyward Sword==
==Appearances==
The harp is an essential part to the plot of ''Skyward Sword''. [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]] uses it at the beginning of the game during the [[Wing Ceremony]] and is later found in the [[Temple of Time]] after completing the [[Lanayru Mining Facility]] strumming the [[Ballad of the Goddess]]. When [[Ghirahim]] attacks, she bestows the harp upon Link and then quickly leaves with [[Impa]] through the [[Gate of Time]].
===Ocarina of Time===
The harp is used by Sheik when playing duets with Link on his [[Ocarina of Time|ocarina]]. This suggests that the harp was passed down through the [[Royal Family]] to a future Princess Zelda.


[[Link]] can take out the harp almost anywhere in the world and begin to strum. If he plays it in time with the music of the area, the harp will create an accompaniment to it.

In most cases, Link can reveal [[Goddess Wall]]s and [[Sheikah Stone]]s if there are three [[Blessed Butterfly|Blessed Butterflies]] surrounding an area. Playing any sort of chord on the harp will make one or the other appear.

Additionally, Link can play a mini-game at the [[Lumpy Pumpkin]] where he accompanies [[Kina]] on the harp.<ref>{{Cite|SS|4095|[[Pumm]]}}</ref> In order to earn money for his performance, he must keep in rhythm with her and the audience.<ref>{{Cite|SS|4015|Pumm}}</ref>


There are also five full songs available on the harp. However, Link can only play them during certain events, unlike in previous games such as ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' where they could be played anywhere. All of the songs, excluding Ballad of the Goddess, are used to open a gate to the [[Silent Realm]].
