![]() If you want to learn more about the history of the ocarina, both STLOcarina and SongBird Ocarina have pages with more. The Aztecs brought the European version we see so often, but I should point out that although they are all ocarinas their sounds and way of playing all varied. There are various Chinese versions of the instrument, as well as Mayan, Aztec, Inca, and Native American. One similar earthenware clay relic, known as the Xun, is egg shaped and dates back more than 7000 years. They were often small whistles shaped like animals and birds. There are ceramic ocarinas that date more than 12000 years ago. Nintendo was not the creator of this instrument, though they have definitely made it popular. Believe it or not, the ocarina has existed for thousands of years. ![]() I’m going to go ahead and give you all a brief history lecture on the ocarina. I plan on buying as many (even non-Zelda) as I can as long as I have the funds to do so. The STLOcarinas still have a beautiful sound and look to them, and I adore every ocarina I have bought. I’ve played it, but sadly it is more expensive than the STLOcarina version. Yes, the SongBird Ocarina looks amazing and has a pretty tone. There is a difference between the two that I should point out. They have a special section made just for us, with various ocarinas designed from the games we have come to love and adore. There are many sites that sell them, but I think all you Zelda fans will enjoy STLOcarina and SongBird Ocarina the most. In this article, I mostly want to focus on a few basic steps in playing and choosing an ocarina. It’s really difficult to write about playing an instrument. ![]()
