~~FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS~~
Q: Where can I buy this Ocarina?
A: The only place you can find this particular Ocarina is on ebay. Here is the link - http://myworld.ebay.com/spencersocarinas/
Spencer Register (the maker) has had to put his ocarina website on hold due to a leg injury, but he will continue to sell one Zelda Ocarina at a time on Ebay. There is another, more popular Zelda Replica as seen in Nintendo Power Magazine. Read below for more info...
Q: Ocarinas are real?!
A: Yes. Contrary to popular belief, early models of the ocarina have been around for thousands of years. The Ocarina as we know it today was invented in Italy in the late 1800's by a man named Giuseppe Donati. Ocarinas were popular in Europe and Asia WAY before LoZ: OoT ever came out...even though that's how I discovered them :)
