By making her stand near a ray of light, Medli can take out her harp to change the direction of rays of light, which often is part of a more complex "light puzzle" and thus serving as a second [[Mirror Shield]]. This function of the harp is extremely useful to make [[Blue Fog]] disappear, complete the various light puzzles around the Earth Temple, and even shed light on [[Poe]]s to make them appear. | ||
Link conducts the Earth God's Lyric for Medli as she plays the song on her harp. As they play it, Laruto temporarily appears next to Medli to play along. This restores some of the power of the Master Sword, to which Medli takes notice and urges Link to go to the Wind Temple. Medli remains in the Earth Temple to assure the power to repel evil stays in the Master Sword, which is done so by continuing to play her harp. | Link conducts the Earth God's Lyric for Medli as she plays the song on her harp.
