Spirit Flute

The Spirit Flute, also known as the Spirit Pipes, is an item resembling a Pan Flute found in Spirit Tracks. Throughout Link's quest, he will find members of the Lokomo Tribe who will teach him a song that he can play on the Spirit Flute. Playing the song restores portions of the Spirit Tracks, which will allow him to gain access to new areas. The Spirit Flute was originally owned by Anjean, who later entrusted it to Tetra as a symbol of friendship.

History
It is stated by Anjean that the Spirit Flute was given by herself to Tetra long ago when the feisty pirate captain first arrived on the shores of the land. Tetra promised that she and her descendants would use the Spirit Flute to protect the land, as she was the heir to the ancient royal line of Hyrule that would come to rule over the land. For many years, Tetra and Anjean carried on a close friendship, and Tetra would often play the Spirit Flute for her granddaughter, the reigning Princess Zelda at the time of Spirit Tracks, when she felt troubled or worried. Upon meeting the reigning Princess Zelda, Anjean notes the many similarities between the princess and her grandmother, as well as instructing she and Link to keep the Spirit Flute with them as it will aid them in restoring the Spirit Tracks.

Songs
Link can learn a total of five songs, all of which are taught by Sound Stones scattered throughout the various villages and sanctuaries in Hyrule. All of the following songs are recorded in Link's inventory, with the exception of the Lokomo Songs, which only function when the young hero is playing along with another Lokomo.


 * Song of Awakening - Awakens Gossip Stones.
 * Song of Healing - Calls a fairy to heal Link once per dungeon (resets when Link leaves and reenters).
 * Song of Discovery - Reveals hidden treasure in the ground.
 * Song of Light - Reveals hidden diamond-shaped objects that shine beams of light when uncovered.
 * Song of Birds - Calls nearby birds to Link.
 * Lokomo Duets - Used to energize the Spirit Tracks leading from the sanctuaries to the temples.

Trivia

 * In the European version of Spirit Tracks, the Song of Healing is mistakenly called the Song of Recovery once played.
 * Of the five learnable songs, only three are needed to clear the game. These are the Song of Discovery, Song of Light and Song of Birds.
 * Each color of the Spirit Flute corresponds to a Lokomo: Green, White, Blue, Red and Yellow for the Lokomos in each realm, and Purple for Anjean.
