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==
The '''Goddess's Harp''' is the primary musical instrument in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''. It was once held by the goddess [[Hylia]] herself.{{Ref|SS|6816|[[Impa]]}} [[Zelda (Skyward Sword)|Zelda]] can be seen playing the harp early on in the quest, but [[Link (Skyward Sword)|Link]] acquires the harp himself after a scene at the [[Temple of Time (Skyward Sword)|Temple of Time]]. It is likely also used by [[Sheik]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''.
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]].


[[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.
==''Ocarina of Time''==
[[File:Link-Sheik-Instruments.png|180px|right]]
The harp used by [[Sheik]] when playing duets with [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]] on his [[Ocarina of Time|ocarina]] was the inspiration for the design of the Goddess's Harp.{{Ref|[[Interview:Nintendo Power August 2011 (Skyward Sword)|Nintendo Power August 2011]].|The design is the same as the harp that Sheik has in Ocarina of Time.|[[Eiji Aonuma]]}} It is possible that the two are the same one.{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia]]''.|The harp in Skyward Sword looks a lot like Sheik's harp in Ocarina of Time. Could it be the same one...?}} This suggests that the harp was passed down through the [[Royal Family of Hyrule]] to a future Princess Zelda.

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.

The harp is an essential part to the plot of ''Skyward Sword''. [[Zelda (Skyward Sword)|Zelda]] uses it at the beginning of the game during the [[Ceremony of the Goddess]] at the [[Statue of the Goddess]].{{Ref|SS|4665-4666|[[Zelda (Skyward Sword)|Zelda]]}} Later, after completing the [[Lanayru Mining Facility]], she is found in the [[Temple of Time (Skyward Sword)|Temple of Time]], strumming the [[Ballad of the Goddess]].

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