The Ocarina of Time[]

Appearance (SPOILER ALERT)[]
The Ocarina of Time is a seven-hole sweet potato ocarina. After the child Link beats the boss of the first dungeon, Gohma, he meets Saria as he is leaving the forest. She gives him the Fairy Ocarina, which Link uses to play the first five songs of the game. When Link obtains all three Spiritual Stones and goes to meet up with Princess Zelda at Hyrule Castle, you witness a cut-scene of Impa riding a horse with Zelda. Zelda throws you the Ocarina of Time, an instrument with special powers that allow you to warp, summon storms, open the Door of Time, and move certain boxes with the Temple of Time symbol on it.

In the opening cut scene, the fairies Tatl and Tael scare Epona, who throws the Child Link off her back. The Skull Kid, now wearing the Majora's Mask, then precedes to rob Link of his ocarina. He plays a few notes, giggling, while Tatl and Tael argue above him. Link wakes up. The Skull Kid slowly turns around when the fairies jingle. When he sees Link, he jumps, glances at the ocarina in his hand, and hides it behind his back. He runs of with Link's ocarina and horse.
Later, the Happy Mask Salesman promises Link that if he gets his ocarina back, then he will show him how to become human again. When Link sees the Skull Kid again, he is tossing it up in his hand. Link shoots him with a bubble, stuns him, and he drops it. Link picks it up, and you witness a cut scene of Zelda giving Link the Ocarina of Time before he leaves and teaches him the Song of Time.
