Playing the Ocarina

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword has been out for a while now, and every time we think of the game series’ protagonist, Link, we can’t seem to separate him from the music that has always been integral to the plots of every game in the entire series.  From the very first Legend of Zelda game, songs featured prominently, and possessed magical properties that could help Link progress through the levels of challenges he faced.  The songs could teleport him forward or back in time, for example, or help him to escape to a specific location at will.  There is much more significance than only that, but one of the instruments we closely associate with Link is his blue ocarina from The Ocarina of Time.
