They used to have ads for Zelda ocarinas in Nintendo Power all the time. Eventually I got one. Kinda low quality, but I enjoyed it.

Got a nicer one as an adult. But in trying to learn to play it, eventually found out that the pitch depends on the pressure in your breath. So it's sad that it's kinda impossible to use with other instruments, for me, since I'll always be off key. Still a nice thing to play with!

    Songbird Ocarina ran those ads. I still have mine. I absolutely jumped at the chance to get one. They're still around and make a bunch of different models, but they don't look the same. New ones are also more refined in general compared to their early days.
