🌿 Quest Log: Master Zelda's Lullaby
Let's be honest: 90% of us chose the ocarina musical instrument because of Link. Today, we learn the anthem: "Zelda's Lullaby." It is a perfect choice for 12 hole ocarina songs, focusing on 3/4 time and high-note control.
You have your ocarina of time instrument. Now you need the melody. "Zelda's Lullaby" is considered one of the best ocarina songs for beginners because of its slow tempo. You don't need fast fingers; you need steady breath control.
Your Legend of Zelda Ocarina Music Companion
To play this iconic theme correctly, you need an instrument with perfect pitch. If your high notes shriek, the lullaby loses its magic. Choosing a high quality ocarina is essential for clear resonance.
The Hero's Standard
For the most authentic experience, we recommend the Eidolove Premium 12-Hole Ocarina. It is tuned for clear, sweet high notes, making it the best ocarina instrument for Zelda fans.

Step-by-Step Ocarina Tabs

Advancing Beyond the 12-Hole
While most ocarina music fits a standard range, orchestral Zelda arrangements often hit notes that a single-chamber instrument can't reach. If you find yourself "running out of notes," it might be time for a pro ocarina upgrade.
Master the Full Range
Want to play complex ocarina songs without limits? The Eidolove Double Ocarina offers two chambers, allowing you to hit those high notes with ease. It's the ultimate tool for serious ocarina musical instrument players.

Final Performance Tip: Vibrato
To make your ocarina songs sound professional, add Vibrato (rhythmic breath pulsing) on long notes like A and D. This creates the "magical" atmosphere essential for Legend of Zelda ocarina music.
