The "Earth God's Lyric" is a song from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. The Earth God's Lyric, along with the Wind God's Aria, are re-instrumentalized to make the game's opening medley.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The Earth God's Lyric is taught to Link by the Zora spirit, Laruto. Laruto was the Sage of Earth until a shadow monster, Jalhalla, summoned by Ganondorf, killed her and corrupted the inside of her shrine, the Earth Temple. Her spirit remained there, anxiously awaiting the time for the new Earth Sage to be awakened. A Rito girl, Medli, is awakened as the new sage when Link plays the "Earth God's Lyric" for her on his Wind Waker. She plays the song on her harp to open the solid entrance of the Earth Temple on Headstone Island and to open several stone blockades inside the Earth Temple.

Spoiler warning: Spoilers end here.

The actual pitches of the notes translate as follows: A, A, D, F#, E, D.
