Wow… just… WOW.

I really liked the sound of the ocarina after playing OoT (Ocarina of Time), but now I really love it. It’s absolutely gorgeous! I have to admit that in all my ridiculousness, after playing OoT I went ahead and bought the cheapest ocarina I could find… sad mistake. I should have known better. Paying only $3 for a plastic ocarina wasn’t going to get me much, but it was fun for a while, till the weird airy sound started to get annoying (which by the way isn’t me, it’s the ocarina… I googled it). But really, the ocarina is a bit of an obscure instrument, not many people have heard of it, especially before OoT came out (I’m sure they’re a lot more famous now because of OoT). But it’s still lovely as ever. Adding that to my wishlist for sure (though I’ll probably end up buying it myself like I tend to do…)

Fun Fact: There’s a part written for the ocarina in the orchestral score for the Tiny Tunes theme song (I know, I’ve played it)
