About this episode

The episode discusses the potential remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and explores the history of the ocarina as a musical instrument.

The ocarina (otherwise known as a potato flute) is a wind musical instrument; it is a type of vessel flute.[1] Variations exist, but a typical ocarina is an enclosed space with four to twelve finger holes and a mouthpiece that projects from the body. It is traditionally made from clay or ceramic, but other materials are also used, such as plastic, wood, glass, metal, or bone. The Italian Ocarina was invented in 1853 by 17-year-old Giuseppe Donati, who also gave it the name ocarina. Donati handmade each ocarina from clay, with anything from 7 to 10 finger-holes and a spout for a mouthpiece. Remember our motto: "BUY A SHIRT!"
