Talk:Rito Harp

'Instrument'
I've always thought that Medli's instrument was a Lyre, rather than a Harp. Is it ever stated to be a harp within the game though? If not, perhaps we should consider what the most accurate name would be. Just a thought! (Glad this finally has a page!) -- RustyCage 17:34, 6 May 2010 (EST)
 * Yep! It says so on the Nintendo Gallery figurine description:
 * Her greatest treasure is her harp that she carries on her back.
 * I think that's one of the few times that they actually say "harp" though. Dany36 21:49, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The word "harp" is so bland, though. In the name of interest, I hereby change the name of her instrument to "lyre". Just kidding. 03:33, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Harp in A Link Between Worlds
There's been a bit of a disagreement over the picture of a harp in A Link Between Worlds, particularly what it's a picture of. I personally say it's a picture of the Goddess's Harp, and not Medli's Harp, but others feel it's Medli's Harp because it's beside a picture of Makar's Violin (and perhaps for other reasons, I'm not certain). However, I stand by my statement as it looks nothing like Medli's Harp. Medli's Harp is much more elongated and has a plate on it. The harp depicted looks much more like the Goddess's Harp, having no significant differences in design. Also the point of it being beside Makar's Harp making it indisputably Medli's Harp is, in my opinion, akin to saying a sword bearing a distinct hourglass shape on the hilt is the Master Sword simply because it's next to a picture of an Ocarina. 13:56, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Why would they pair the Goddess's Harp beside Makar's Violin when there was a well-known pairing of Medli's Harp and Makar's Violin together in a previous game that was quite big? I think it is fairly obvious the harp pictured, regardless of what style it takes on, is meant to represent Medli's Harp just as the violin is meant to represent Makar's own.  Neither of them is identical to the way they appeared in The Wind Waker, but the pairing of them together is an obvious reference to the pairing of the two instruments in The Wind Waker.  Everything in A Link Between Worlds looks slightly different from how it appeared previously, so your argument about it looking closer to the Goddess's Harp is irrelevant, as most things in the game that harken back to previous games look slightly different.  The important thing here is the pairing of the two together, and it's fairly obvious what the two pictures are meant to represent in my opinion.  I would thank you to not edit what I posted either, as I don't see anything to support your view beyond your visual argument (take away the metallic part at the bottom of Medli's Harp and they actually look identical by the way).  The pairing of the harp with the violin is a stronger argument, given how important they were in The Wind Waker.  If the harp was pictured alone, sure it would likely be meant to be a reference to the Goddess's Harp possibly, but it's paired with a violin, and we all know where we saw a harp and violin together last.
