Flute (Disambiguation)

Link utilizes a Flute in several The Legend of Zelda games for various purposes.

The Adventure of Link
A flute is acquired in The Adventure of Link. Gained in the game's fifth palace, the Palace on the Sea, the flute allows Link to pass by what the villagers in Nabooru Town call the River Devil. Once the flute is played, this troublesome roadblock disappears. Later in the game the instrument is used to make the sixth palace appear when played in the middle of the "Three Eye Rocks."

A Link to the Past
The flute, also known as , makes another appearance in A Link to the Past. It once belonged to a young boy who set out in search of the Golden Power and never returned. Link finds this instrument buried in the Haunted Grove, and uses it to call a bird to transport him around the Light World. The short sound that the flute makes when played is the same as from the original Legend of Zelda, and was also used in Super Mario Bros. 3 from a flute that allows the player to teleport to other worlds. The tune was also used in composing the title song of Ocarina of Time.

Oracle series
In Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons, Link acquires one of three different flutes:
 * Dimitri's Flute
 * Moosh's Flute
 * Ricky's Flute

They can be used to call its respective animal from most places in the overworld.

Trivia

 * In Link's Awakening, the Grim Creeper, mini-boss of the Eagle's Tower, uses a flute to call six Big Keese to aid him.
 * The flute in A Link to the Past bears a striking resemblance to the Ocarina of Time. While it is not entirely certain, it is possible this flute, also containing mysterious powers, could in fact be the Ocarina of Time seeing as A Link to the Past takes place after Ocarina of Time.
 * In The Minish Cap, the Ocarina of Wind is similar to the flute in A Link to the Past, and would also summon a bird, Zeffa, to take Link to any one of the 8 Wind Crests scattered across the overworld.
