The Adventure of Link
In, the Flute is obtained in the Palace on the Sea. It allows Link to pass by what the villagers in Nabooru Town call the River Devil. Once the Flute is played, it disappears. Later in the game, the instrument is used to make the Three-Eye Rock Palace appear when played in the middle of Three-Eye Rock.

A Link to the Past
In, the Flute once belonged to a young boy who set out in search of the Golden Power and never returned. When Link talks to the boy in the Dark World, he gives the young hero a Shovel and asks him to find his Flute. Link finds this instrument buried in the Haunted Grove in the Light World. He then plays the Flute one last time for the boy, who is soothed by the music and is then turned into a tree.

When Link brings the Flute to the Flute Boy's Father, the man understands what has happened to his son and asks Link to keep it. He then tells Link to play the Flute in front of the Weathercock in the center of Kakariko Village. Soon after Link complies with his request, the Flute Boy's Bird breaks out of the Weathercock and flies off. Whenever Link plays the Flute in the Light World overworld from that point forward, the pet bird can transport him to one of eight locations. The Flute is necessary in reaching the sixth Dark World dungeon, the Misery Mire.

Doing so, will warp her to a distant place and thus permanently impede Ganon from ever obtaining the Triforce of Wisdom. Link reluctantly helps her reach the Palace on the Sea, and after the pair defeat an Iron Knuckle, the knight shows Link the way to obtain the Magic Flute. However, when he sees it, he is tempted to destroy it and lie to Zelda, which would force her to stay forever. Link makes the decision to give the Flute to Zelda, but as he says his goodbyes, Zelda confesses to him that wherever he is, is the safest place to be.

Trivia

 * In, the Recorder is called in Japan.
 * In, the Flute is labeled "Ocarina" in English lettering. The reason for it being changed to "Flute" in English versions of the game is unknown.
 * In, the Grim Creeper, mini-boss of the Eagle's Tower, uses a Flute to call six Big Keese to aid him.
 * In, the Ocarina of Wind is similar to the flute from A Link to the Past. It can also summon a bird to take Link to any one of the eight Wind Crests scattered across Hyrule. It is also conceivable that the Flute in A Link to the Past is, in fact, the Ocarina of Wind. If true, the bird summoned by the Flute could be connected to or descended from Zeffa.
 * In, another Flute Boy appears playing his Flute in the Milk Bar.
