==Games==
 
The '''Ocarina of Time''' has been featured in two different Zelda games, inculding [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]] and [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]. It has the same basic use in both games; playing songs.
 
===Ocarina of Time (Game)===
After Link finds all three [[Spiritual Stones]], he can return to [[Hyrule Castle Town]] only to find it being overrun by the King of Thieves, [[Ganondorf]]. [[Princess Zelda]] flees and throws the Ocarina of Time in the moat. After Link refuses to tell Ganondorf where Zelda fled to, Link can swim in the moat to retrieve the Ocarina. Upon doing so, Princess Zelda teaches Link the [[Song of Time]] in a vision.
 
It is the only instrument that can open the [[Door of Time]]. While holding the three Spiritual Stones and playing the Song of Time at the altar in the [[Temple of Time]], the Door of Time opens, revealing the [[Master Sword]] and the entrance to the [[Sacred Realm]].
 
===Majora's Mask===
Link begins the game with the Ocarina of Time, but shortly after it is stolen by [[Skull Kid]]. He then is transformed into a [[Deku Scrub]] and goes around [[Clock Town]] looking for Skull Kid. He learns that Skull Kid is at the top of the [[Clock Tower]]. After stunning Skull Kid with a bubble, he can retrieve the Ocarina. After doing so, [[Princess Zelda]] will reteach him the [[Song of Time]] in a memory.
 
Its use is to play the various songs in the game, and is the only instrument in this game, unlike the [[Fairy Ocarina]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. While in a form other than Hylian Link, the instrument changes into one that better suits his new form. Deku Pipes for a [[Deku Scrub]], Drums for a [[Goron]], and a Guitar for a [[Zora]].
 
== Songs ==
 
The Ocarina of Time's main use is to play songs, and thus there are plenty of songs found within the two games for [[Link]] to play.
 
=== Zelda's Lullaby ===
 
This song is one of the most used songs in the entire game of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. It is taught to Link by [[Impa]] right after [[Princess Zelda]] has told Link that he needs to collect all three Spiritual Stones. It will come in handy throughout the entire game.
 
==== How to Play it ====
 
[[Zelda's Lullaby]] is played by using only the C-stick. The melody goes like this: c-left, c-up, c-right, c-left, c-up, c-right. It is a fairly basic tune, and will easily be remembered after playing it a few times. In the [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] remake of the game, the melody is: X, A, Y, X, A, Y.
 
==== Uses ====
 
[[Zelda's Lullaby]] is the most used song throughout the entire game. It is used to open the entrance to [[Zora's Domain]] as a child, change the water level in the [[Water Temple]], put signs back together, to prove to people that Link is connected to the [[Royal Family]], to make fairies appear in areas where [[Navi]] turns green, and to open the Royal Family's tomb in the [[Kakariko Graveyard]].
 
=== Saria's Song ===
 
[[Saria's Song]] is a song that allows [[Saria]] to talk to Link even if he is on the other side of [[Hyrule]]. Saria teaches Link this song after she learns the he has a job to do and will probably not be around the forest very much. Saria will often give Link hints as to where to go and who to see next.
 
==== How to Play it ====
 
Saria's Song is one of the first songs learnt throughout the course of the game, and thus it is very easy to play and remember the melody. In the N64 version of the game, it is played like this: c-down, c-right, c-left, c-down, c-right, c-left. In the 3DS remake of the game, [[Saria's Song]] is played like this: R, Y, X, R, Y, X.
 
==== Uses ====
 
Saria's Song is used so that [[Saria]] can talk to [[Link]] even if he is not in the [[Kokiri Forest]]. In the early stages of the game, she will give Link useful hints that can guide him through the first couple of dungeons. Later in the game when Link is an adult, he must return to the forest so he can go to the [[Forest Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Forest Temple]]. However, [[Mido]] will block Link's way through the forest and say only people who know Saria can go through. By playing [[Saria's Song]], Mido will be forced to accept Link knows Saria, and thus lets him pass.
 
=== Song of Time ===
 
The [[Song of Time]] is featured in both ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]''. In Ocarina of Time, is is taught to [[Link]] by [[Princess Zelda]] telepathicly after [[Ganondorf]] had attacked [[Hyrule Castle]]. Her and [[Impa]] are seen by Link galloping away from the castle on horseback. Zelda will see Link and toss the Ocarina of Time into the moat. Once Link goes and gets it, she will teach it to him telepathicly. In Majora's Mask, it is also taught to Link by Princess Zelda telepathicly. Once Link stuns [[Skull Kid]] with a bubble at the top of the [[Clock Tower]], he will drop the Ocarina of Time, and once Link picks it up Zelda will teach it to him telepathicly.
 
==== How to Play it ====


The [[Song of Time]] is played the same way in both Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. The melody is as follows: c-right, A, c-down, c-right, A, c-down. In the 3DS remake of Ocarina of Time, it is played like this: Y, R, L, Y, R, L.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', the [[Song of Time]] is used first and foremost to open the [[Door of Time]], the door that is the last guardian of the [[Master Sword]] and the entrance to the [[Sacred Realm]]. It can also be used to move big, blue blocks that have the time symbol on them to helpful locations. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', the Song of Time is used to return [[Link]] to the dawn of the first day. It also saves your progress through the game.

It cannot be used to summound Epona until Link has rescued her from [[Lon Lon Ranch]] as an adult. He can do this by defeating [[Ingo]] at two different races around the fenced-off area. In Majora's Mask, Link can get this song by practicing with [[Romani]] on the First Day.  
===Alternate Forms===
While in a form other than [[Hylian]] Link, the instrument changes into one that better suits his new form. On some occasions, the powers of songs only work on one of these instruments.

==Trivia==
*''[[The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia|Hyrule Historia]]'' suggests that the <includeonly>[[</includeonly>Ocarina of Time<includeonly>]]</includeonly> may be made out of the same material as the [[Timeshift Stone]]s from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''.{{Ref|pg. 53|With this talk of controlling time, one can't help but think of ''Ocarina of Time''.

*Technically, the <includeonly>[[</includeonly>Ocarina of Time<includeonly>]]</includeonly> is not required to open the [[Door of Time]], only the [[Song of Time]] is. This does not matter in a standard playthrough as both are obtained at the same time, but can make a difference in Randomisers.


The main for [[Epona's Song]] both games is to summon [[Epona]]. However, there is one more hidden use for this song. If Link is standing beside a cow and has an [[Empty Bottle]], playing Epona's Song will fill an Empty Bottle with [[Milk]], a very good healing liqiud.

The Ocarina of Time is an item from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. It is a treasured item passed down by the Royal Family of Hyrule with the ability to alter time and space through music.[1][2] It was created along with the Temple of Time and the Door of Time to prevent those unworthy of touching the Master Sword.

Ocarina of Time

"You found the Ocarina of Time! This is the Royal Family's hidden treasure which Zelda left behind. It glows with a mystical light..."

After Link finds all three Spiritual Stones, he returns to Hyrule Castle Town only to be met by Impa fleeing on horseback, Princess Zelda tucked under her arm. When she sees Link, Zelda throws the Ocarina into the moat. Just as they ride out of sight, Ganondorf emerges from the town drawbridge looking for them.[3] After Link refuses to tell Ganondorf where Zelda fled to, Link swims in the moat to retrieve the Ocarina. Upon doing so, Princess Zelda teaches Link the Song of Time in a vision.

It is the only instrument that can open the Door of Time. While holding the three Spiritual Stones and playing the Song of Time at the altar in the Temple of Time, the Door of Time opens, revealing the Master Sword and the entrance to the Sacred Realm.[4]
