The plastic ocarina that Nintendo’s sending around with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D is quite the coveted piece of swag. Until we got ours, only French journalists and Australian customers were on the chosen list of recipients. Does the thing actually work? Joel Johnson put it to the test.

Ocarina Included In Ocarina Of Time 3D Premiums

French gaming site Le Mag Jeux Video got pictures of what appear to be the official premiums for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D; it includes a wooden (or wood-patterned) pen and a plastic ocarina with the holes identified by their note. I had no idea an ocarina looked like a blue athletic cup.
