The Legend of Zelda

The Recorder is a magical item that is hidden in the depths of Level 5 in the First Quest,[5] and earlier in Level 2 in the Second Quest.[6] As with most items in the game, it is hidden in a basement room.

The music of this item causes various effects. First, it allows Link to Warp to any Underworld dungeon he has cleared;[7] if he is facing north or west, he warps to the next dungeon; if he is facing south or east, he warps to the dungeon before the one he is at.[citation needed] The Recorder must also be used to dry up a body of water revealing the entrance to Level 7;[8] in the Second Quest, it can unveil hidden caves, as well as the entrance to Level 6. Lastly, Digdogger is split into three smaller versions at the sound of the Recorder.[9]

The Adventure of Link

The Whistle is obtained in the Palace on the Sea in The Adventure of Link. It allows Link to pass by what the villagers in Nabooru Town call the River Devil. Once the Flute is played, the River Devil disappears. Later, the Whistle is used to make the Three-Eye Rock Palace appear when played in the middle of Three-Eye Rock.[10]

A Link to the Past

In A Link to the Past, Whistles are one of the many Instruments played by Hyruleans.[2] Link can dig up the Flute Boy's Flute by using the Shovel on a flower patch in the Haunted Grove. After releasing the Flute Boy's pet bird, Link can play the Flute in the Light World's overworld and summon the bird, who can fly Link to any one of eight locations.

Link's Awakening

The mini-boss of the Eagle's Tower, the Grim Creeper, uses a Whistle to call six Big Keese to aid him.

A Link Between Worlds

The Flute Boy carries and plays a Flute inside the Milk Bar in A Link Between Worlds.
