m (Despite its label in Oracle of Seasons, the instrument Guru-Guru plays is a crank organ or barrel organ. Fixed this as well as adding a note about the erroneous label in Oracle of Seasons.)
(Undid revision 760923 by Spirituspolypus (Talk) despite what it relates to in the real world, the item Link receives from him is still called a Phonograph, so canonically, it is a phonograph)
