The Phonograph is a music playing device found in Oracle of Seasons and The Minish Cap.
Oracle of Seasons
"You traded your for a Phonograph! What a tune!"
The Phonograph is the twelfth and final item of the very long and expansive trading sequence in Oracle of Seasons. It is a music playing device, and the music it plays is a very nice tune.[1][2]
The Phonograph can be acquired from Guru-Guru, a strange man who can be found near the Windmill in the Eastern Suburbs of Holodrum. He enjoys watching the Windmill go around and around, so he wants some oil to make it go faster.[3] If Link shows him the Engine Grease he got from Tick Tock, Guru-Guru asks if the grease will make the Windmill go faster.[4] If Link says yes, Guru-Guru takes the Engine Grease and gives Link the Phonograph in return.[5]
The Phonograph can be used to find the directions to the location of the Noble Sword. With the Phonograph in hand, Link must enter a cave in the southeastern corner of the Lost Woods, where he finds a Deku Scrub singing a tune.[6][7] The Deku Scrub notices Link's Phonograph, and Link has the option to play for the scrub or not to.[8] If he does, the Deku Scrub loves the tune, and tells Link the directions to his "Secret Spot": "If temperatures rise as you go far to the west, you'll find it!"[9] Following these directions leads Link right to the location of the Noble Sword, completing the trading sequence. However, if Link is playing a Linked Game, it is possible to have already obtained the Noble Sword via the King Zora Secret. If so, the Master Sword will be found in the Lost Woods instead of the Noble Sword.
The Minish Cap
In The Minish Cap, the Phonograph can be found in Baris' house in Hyrule Town, along with the last Piece of Heart found in the game. It can be used after completing the Figurines collection and obtaining the Carlov Medal. It can play 52 songs found in the game, which includes two songs that are not found in the game. Track 2 and Track 6 are songs that do not play elsewhere in the game.
Additionally, there are two songs that are missing from the Phonograph. One is the Picori Festival Intro Theme, which plays at the start of the game in South Hyrule Field, when Link and Zelda are making their way to the Picori Festival. The song itself is similar to the Picori Festival Theme, with the song playing in the distance. The second track missing from the Phonograph is a short theme that plays when Ezlo Jumps on Link's head. It is a quick version of the Legend of Zelda Main Theme.
