Hooo hoo hoooot!|Kaepora Gaebora|OoT3D}}</ref> and "'''Zelda's Lullaby:OT'''",{{Exp Game|HW}}{{Fact}} is a [[Recurring Music in The Legend of Zelda Series|recurring song]] in {{TLoZ|Series}}. Since its debut in {{ALttP}}, it usually serves as background music whenever [[Princess Zelda]] appears and is thus considered to be her theme song. It appears as a playable melody in {{OoT}} and {{TP}}.

"Zelda's Lullaby" is taught by [[Impa]] after initially meeting [[Princess Zelda]] at her [[Hyrule Castle#Princess Zelda's Courtyard|courtyard]]. It is a sacred song with mysterious powers passed down by the [[Royal Family of Hyrule|Royal Family]] for generations, and it also served as a lullaby for the young Princess Zelda.<ref>{{Cite|This is an ancient melody passed down by the Royal Family. I have played this song for Princess Zelda as a lullaby ever since she was a baby... There is mysterious power in these notes.|Impa|OoT}}</ref> "Zelda's Lullaby" plays a major role in solving numerous puzzles in the game, such as raising water levels in the [[Water Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Water Temple]], entering [[Zora's Domain]], and opening other hidden passages. The mark that usually signals the need to play "Zelda's Lullaby" is a [[Triforce]] symbol, as seen when opening the [[Royal Family's Tomb]] and changing the water levels in the Water Temple.

According to Impa, only members of the Royal Family are allowed to learn "Zelda's Lullaby"; as such, playing this tune helps prove Link's connection to the Royal Family.<Ref>{{Cite|The song I just taught you has some mysterious power. Only Royal Family members are allowed to learn this song. Remember, it will help to prove your connection with the Royal Family.|Impa|OoT}}</ref>  After [[Ganon]] has been defeated and Link and Princess Zelda are talking in the sky, the princess sends the young hero back to his original time by playing "Zelda's Lullaby" on the {{OoT|Item}}, further demonstrating the melody's mysterious powers.

"Zelda's Lullaby" can be heard as background music during the flashback scene where Princess Zelda gives Link the {{OoT|Item}}. In the northern part of [[Termina Field]], "Zelda's Lullaby"'s notes sometimes appear on the wall where Link can play a song for [[Rupee]]s.

"Zelda's Lullaby" is played in when [[Tetra]] is revealed to be Princess Zelda. Furthermore, it is heard during the staff credits as part of the ending theme.

Similar to {{ALttP|-}}, "Zelda's Lullaby" plays after Link rescues one of the Seven Maidens.

A darker version of "Zelda's Lullaby" is played when Tetra pleads for Link's help as she gets swallowed by the [[Ghost Ship (Phantom Hourglass)|Ghost Ship]]. The normal tune is later heard after Tetra returns to normal inside [[Linebeck]]'s [[S.S. Linebeck|ship]].

A slowed down version of "Zelda's Lullaby" plays while riding a [[Horse]] on the field in {{BotW}}.
