Okay, so it’s not the actual Ocarina of Time but it’s a blue ocarina nonetheless. I’d been wanting one for an unbelievably long time and I was lucky enough to have one bought for me as a surprise gift recently. I can’t really play it at the moment, but don’t worry, I’ll soon have learned every Zelda song and posted it on here to destroy your eardrums.
I came across a website called ‘STL Ocarina‘ that sells ocarinas based on things from Zelda games including the obvious choice, the Ocarina of Time, and some other adorable ones such as rupees, potions and Hylian Shield ocarinas. If to you, money is no object or you live in the USA, then by all means go here but unfortunately the shipping charge is so high it really put me off getting one – for some of them the delivery was higher than the cost of the actual item. It can’t be denied that they are absolutely beautiful though and if I was ridiculously rich I would definitely buy them all!
My one is a soprano ocarina (I think) and it sort of sounds like a recorder since it’s really high pitched. It might just be because I’m not used to playing it but I think I’ll buy a tenor one as they have a much nicer sound.
Either way, just as a decorative piece I absolutely love my ocarina!
If you opt to get another ocarina, get ceramic, it sounds ten times better. I also prefer alto in tune as its not so shrill, but I have alto, soprano, bass, and the tinier whistle like ones, all in all, great to have! Also, check out http://www.songbirdocarina.com for another great site that has so many ocarina treasures!

Thank you very much for your advice, it’s been really helpful since I have little to no knowledge of ocarinas! The songbird ocarina’s are really beautiful, I’ll definitely have to look into buying one from their website. Thanks again! 🙂
