The '''Goddess's Harp''' is the primary musical instrument found within ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''. It was once held by the goddess [[Hylia]] herself.{{Ref|SS|6816|Impa}} [[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 (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 the primary musical instrument found within Skyward Sword. [[Princess 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's probably the same harp that's used by [[Sheik]] in OoT.

The harp used by Sheik when playing duets with 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 harp in ''Skyward Sword'' looks a lot like Sheik's harp in ''Ocarina of Time''. Could it be the same one...?|[[The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia]]}} This suggests that the harp was passed down through the [[Royal Family of Hyrule]] to a future Princess Zelda.

You can play five songs with the harp. The five songs is: ''Ballad of the Goddess'', ''Farore's Courage'', ''Nayru's Wisdom'', ''Din's Power'' and ''Song of the Hero''. All of these songs (except ''Ballad of the Goddess'') open up ways to the [[Silent Realm]]. To get ''Song of the Hero'' you have to go to the three dragons: Faron, Eldin and Lanayru. Something that's new for Skyward Sword is that you only can play the songs in some places, not everywhere like with the Ocarina.  
===Skyward Sword===
The harp is an essential part to the plot of ''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}} 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]]. When [[Ghirahim]] attacks, she bestows the harp upon Link and then quickly leaves with [[Impa]] through the [[Gate of Time]].{{Ref|SS|6405|Zelda}}{{Ref|SS|6406|In-Game Description}}{{Ref|SS|2260|Fi}}


When you see a group of Blessed Butterflies it often means that you should play the Goddess's Harp. You do not need to play a ceartain melody, it's just freestyling. There are three things that could happen if you do so. First: Nothing happens. Second: A Sheikah Stone pops up and gives you a treasure and a hint. Third: A wall nearby becomes a Goddess Wall.  
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}}
 
In most cases, Link can reveal [[Goddess Wall]]s and [[Gossip Stone]]s if there are three [[Blessed Butterfly|Blessed Butterflies]] surrounding an area.{{Ref|SS|6722|[[Gorko]]}} Playing any sort of chord on the harp will make one or the other appear.{{Ref|SS|6717|Gorko}}{{Ref|SS|944|Gossip Stone}}
 
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 ''Ocarina of Time'' where they could be played anywhere. All of the songs, excluding Ballad of the Goddess, are used to open a [[Trial Gate|gate]] to the [[Silent Realm]]. [[Fi]] accompanies Link when he plays these songs by singing.
