The Recorder is a magical item that is hidden in the depths of {{Term|TLoZ|Level 5|link}} in the First Quest,<ref>{{Cite Guide|quote= |game= TLoZ|guide= Tips & Tactics|page= 80}}</ref> and earlier in {{Term|TLoZ|Level 2|link}} in the [[Second Quest]].<ref>{{Cite Guide|quote= |game= TLoZ|guide= NES Game Atlas |page= 59}}</ref> 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 [[Warping|Warp]] to any [[Underworld]] dungeon he has cleared;<ref>{{Cite Guide|quote= |game= TLoZ|guide= Tips & Tactics|page= 14}}</ref> 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.{{Fact}} The Recorder must also be used to dry up a body of water revealing the entrance to {{Term|TLoZ|Level 7|link}};<ref>{{Cite Guide|quote= |game= TLoZ|guide= Tips & Tactics|page= 52}}</ref> in the Second Quest, it can unveil hidden caves, as well as the entrance to {{Term|TLoZ|Level 6|link}}. Lastly, [[Digdogger]] is split into three smaller versions at the sound of the Recorder.<ref>{{Cite Guide|quote= |game= TLoZ|guide= NES Game Atlas|page= 55}}</ref>

 

The Whistle is obtained in the [[Palace on the Sea]] in {{TAoL}}. It allows [[Link]] to pass by what the villagers in [[Nabooru (Town)|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]].<ref>{{Cite|CALL FOR HELP AT THE THREE EYE ROCKS.|Hylian|TAoL}}</ref>

 

In {{ALttP}}, {{Plural|ALttP|Whistle}} are one of the many {{Plural|ALttP|Instrument|link}} played by {{Plural|ALttP|Hyrulean|link}}.<ref name="ALttP Guide 79"/> 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 [[Flute Boy's Bird|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.

 

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

[[File:Recorder (Sing for the Unicorn).png|thumb|right|The Whistle in the animated series]]

The Whistle makes an appearance in the "[[Sing for the Unicorn]]" episode of {{TLoZ|TV Series}}. It serves the same purpose as the Recorder in {{TLoZ}} and even makes the same tune when played. Link finds it after he defeats a pair of [[Lynel]]s.<ref>{{Cite Episode|quote= Ah, a magic whistle! This could be useful.|name= Link|show= The Legend of Zelda|episode= 5}}</ref> Once [[Princess Zelda]] zaps [[Ganon]] back into the [[Evil Jar]], Link blows into the Whistle to make a tornado appear that will take Zelda, [[Sing]], her [[Unicorn]], [[King Harkinian]] and him [[Warping|Warp]] out of the [[Underworld]].<ref>{{Cite Episode|quote= Looks like a happy ending. Now we just have to get out of here. Time to whistle up a wind.|name= Link|show= The Legend of Zelda|episode= 5}}</ref>

 

The Magic Whistle appears in {{TLoZ|Valiant Comics}}. As Zelda is getting ready to go inside {{Term|TLoZ|Level 1|link}} to practice fighting in Ganon's Underworld,<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Stop worrying, Link. If I'm going to learn to fight in Ganon's Underworld, I've got to practice on my own.|book= TLoZ (Valiant Comics)|publisher= |page= 1}}</ref> Link reminds her that if she needs help at one point, she can just blow the [[Magic Whistle]] and he will be there to assist her.<ref name="Magic Whistle"/> However, just as Zelda is telling herself that she will not call for Link's help at the first sign of danger, a [[Gohma]] appears behind her.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= If Link thinks I'm going to give up and call him to rescue me at the first sign of danger, he's in for a surprise! [...] A Gohma!|book= TLoZ (Valiant Comics)|publisher= |page= 3}}</ref> a [[Gohma]] and [[Patra]] appear to attack her, and the princess, surprised that such enemies have appeared in an early level, admits to herself that the current situation is too tough for her. She decides to call Link by blowing the Magic Whistle,<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= All right, I admit it! This IS too tough for me! I'm blowing the whistle, Link--come bail me out!|book= TLoZ (Valiant Comics)|publisher= |page= 4}}</ref> but when Link does not appear, Zelda realizes that something must have happened and sets out to save the young hero.

 

[[File:TWoG Flute Sprite.png|left]]

The Flute is an item that can be played to stop flying enemies for about eight seconds in {{TWoG}}. It costs 5 [[Rupee|Rubies]] per use. It is received from the [[Hungry Girl]] in [[Kobitan]] after [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]] gives her an [[Arpagos Egg]].

==={{ZA|-}}===

{{Noncanon|Start}}

The Flute is given to Zelda by [[Yvonne]] in [[Great Wimbich]] in {{ZA}}. The Flute's sole use is to be played to a [[Snake]] outside of town, which will cause it to combust in flames and leave behind the [[Pyros]] Spell.

{{Noncanon|End}}

==={{HW|-}}===

In {{HW}}, the Recorder appears as an [[Item Card]] in the [[Adventure Map]] and [[Master Quest Map]] of [[Adventure Mode]]. When used on the correct square, the Recorder will reveal a hidden staircase, revealing hidden enemies on the Map square, allowing Warriors to start the Battle on that Map square. The [[8-Bit Recorder]], [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]]'s Lv.★ [[Baton]], is also modeled after the Recorder.

{{Noncanon|End}}

*The {{Smw|Recorder}} from ''{{Smw|Super Mario Bros. 3}}'' was based on the Recorder. When it is used, the same melody is played, and a whirlwind takes {{Smw|Mario}} to another location.{{Fact}}

*An extended version of the melody played by the Recorder is played in the title screen of {{OoT}}; moreover, the same melody can also be heard in a small sample from the music of the [[Forbidden Woods]] in {{TWW}} as well as in the music of the [[Wind Ruins]] from {{TMC}}. The melody is also used for the [[Ocarina of Wind]] from {{TMC|-}}
