For the Item also known as Flute in A Link to the Past, see Ocarina.
The Recorder is a magical item that is hidden in the depths of Level 5 in the First Quest,[6] and earlier in Level 2 in the Second Quest.[7] 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;[8] 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;[9] 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.[10]
The Magic Whistle appears in The Legend of Zelda comics by Valiant Comics. As Zelda is getting ready to go inside Level 1 to practice fighting in Ganon's Underworld,[14] 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.[5] 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.[15] 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,[16] but when Link does not appear, Zelda realizes that something must have happened and sets out to save the young hero.
The Flute is given to Zelda by Yvonne in Great Wimbich in Zelda's Adventure. 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.
This section of the page is incomplete. You can help Zelda Wiki by expanding it.
In Hyrule Warriors, 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, Zelda's Lv.★ Baton, is also modeled after the Recorder.
An extended version of the melody played by the Recorder is played in the title screen of Ocarina of Time; moreover, the same melody can also be heard in a small sample from the music of the Forbidden Woods in The Wind Waker as well as in the music of the Wind Ruins from The Minish Cap. The melody is also used for the Ocarina of Wind from The Minish Cap
