Template:Song The "Earth God's Lyric" is a song featured in The Wind Waker.

Learning Location

It is conducted using the Wind Waker and is learned from a Sage Stone inside the cave of Headstone Island. Upon learning this melody, the Zora sage known as Laruto appears in front of Link. Laruto was the Sage of the Earth until Ganondorf stole her soul inside the Earth Temple.[1] Her spirit remained in the hopes that the new Sage of the Earth could be awakened.

Uses

The "Earth God's Lyric" must be played in front of Medli in order to awaken her as the Sage of Earth.[2][3] Medli, with the help of Link, plays this song on her harp to open the entrance to the Earth Temple.[4]

This melody must be played numerous times inside the Earth Temple in order to break down several Sage Stones and thus be able to progress through the dungeon. After defeating Jalhalla, Link conducts the Earth God's Lyric for Medli and Laruto so that the power to repel evil is restored to the Master Sword.

Other Appearances
