In case any of you did not know, Ocarinas (the instrument of choice by Link in Ocarina of Time) are real instruments. I'm going to purchase one from a company called SongBirdOcarina. You can chek their site below. It's pretty cool.

They also sell other sorts of ocarina's besides the Zelda ones.

Awesome! I wan't one!!

yay! They have video files of a guy playing the actual ocarina so you can hear what it sounds like and see what it looks like in action!

I have a plastc one. Haven't played it in the longest time, though...

Whoa! Really?!?! doews it sound good... <.< ^^;;; i mean... like... does it sound like a caly ocarina do ya think? And where did you get yours?

*laughs* Yeah, they're very real. ^^

Be sure to get the sweet potato style - that's the kind they use in the game. I actually found the ocarina a little tricky to play nicely, but the Zelda songs are easy to learn. ^^

Yea songbirdocarina.com makes the sweet potato styled ones. I NEVER KNEW THERE WERE SO MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF OCARINAS!!! Yea... there are many types... Songbirdocarina.com evenputs the triforce on theirs! ^^!

It's hard? Really? Hmmn... (i shall have to spend long hours practicing my ocarina once it is in my possession!)

Where did you get your ocarina Gypsy?

I actually have a couple of kiln-fired pendant ocarinas--not as cool as the sweet potatoes, but a little more compact and easier to play. I got them at the local Renaissance Festival two years ago.

The music the seller provided with them had Zelda tunes, of course, but they also came with Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, the Wizard of Oz, and Christmas music. ^.^ I had fun figuring it out.

Yes. It sounds pretty much like a cheap plastic recorder, but just in a different shape. (A bit easier to play, actually.) I've never heard a clay one before, so I wouldn't know. I think I ordered it out of a catalog. *Exhales* Each question, answered.

I got mine from songbird.

I don't remember mine being really hard to play --- just memorizing the holes to cover was what I had problems with, and with timing my breaths so I could live and play at the same time.
