Hey, you know what? That doesn't sound like too bad an idea.

...you DO realize that its a kids instrument, scoffed at by most everyone, that was only even put in the games because of the poor spriting of a flute in aLttP, right?

Don't care. Always wanted to be able to play some sort of musical instrument.

Don't worry, if the Bison ever take over the midlands Godzilla will take care of them. Just like he did with Bambi.

The Ocarina is actually a native american instrament (or was it indian) That comes in a variety of shapes. The variation that Zelda uses is called the Sweet Potato flute.

Er, the most of the ocarinas of power have been an almost plastic-like bright blue, except for the Fairy Ocarina, which was tan and green.

I want to get an Ocarina, but I kind of want to get a normal one before I shell out like 60 bucks for a Zelda-like one and want to make sure I can learn how to play it though. Once I get it, I'll try to learn the Zelda melodies and some of my other favorite tunes which use a very ocarina-like sound.

Heh... I should hope nobody gets an actual working ocarina, or else the sun goes up, the sun comes down. Goes up, comes down, goes up, comes down.

...Or it rains. Hard. Like today.

...Alright, which one 'a youse guys played the song of storms?!

Also, so I'm on topic, I have a sort of dream but not really. It's big and unrealistic, but it's something I may actually try one day... maybe...

...but I don't want to post it here out of fear that someone else could read it and steal it.

Although, if someone did steal it, then at least it'd exist, and I guess that would be good enough for me...

...hey, wasn't there discussion of a failed attempt at a chat room recently? I'd share it over chat, as long as you promised not to blab.

I shelled out the money for an 'Ocarina of Time' back when I was in Middle School.

I still have it, I just don't know where it is exactly. It gave me a little booklet with a page dedicated to the history of Ocarinas. And because I'm bored I'm telling you it here:

Quote:
 
Ocarinas are found all over the world.  From China to South America to Europe, ocarinas are among the oldest musical instruments.  In fact, an ocarina was found in West Asia dating 30,000 b.c., making it the oldest instrument ever found.  Ocarinas became popular in Europe in the 1800s.  The word "ocarina" is Italian for "little bird".

In the United States, ocarinas, also known as "sweet potatoes" were issued to the soldiers during World War II to boost morale.

In the imaginary land of Moo, police officers carry ocarinas rather than guns in order to keep the peace.

Children the world over make ocarinas.  To find well tuned ocarinas is fortunate.


WTF is the imaginary land of Moo anyway?

They MIGHT be talking about the Land of MU, which is along the same lines as Atlantis...
