In several ''The Legend of Zelda'' games, there are places that have a seal or protection that can only be lifted with a magical melody. There are many diverse reasons for this: For one, it impedes the forces of evil from gaining access to them, and only those chosen by destiny are allowed to enter after learning the melodies. This is noteworthy in {{OoT}}, where some of the most prominent races of [[Hyrule]], namely the [[Goron]]s and [[Zora]]s, will only allow the messenger of the [[Royal Family of Hyrule|Royal Family]] to enter their domains, and that messenger announces his or her presence with "[[Zelda's Lullaby]]". One of the most treasured objects of the Royal Family is the {{it|Ocarina of Time}}, as only with it and the "[[Song of Time]]", the designated hero is capable of accessing to the [[Sacred Realm]] and the [[Master Sword]].

Other games in the series follow a similar trend, such as {{MM}} with the different melodies that serve as the key to gain access to the [[temple]]s where the [[Four Giants]] reside (it's also important to note that each melody has to be played with the proper [[Ocarina Transformations|instruments]] to have the desired effect. In the particular case of the [[Elegy of Emptiness]], more than one will be necessary).
