| First appearance | Oracle of Ages (2001) |
| Found | Nayru's House |
| Use | Playing songs to control time |
The Harp of Ages is the hallmark item from The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages. This magical harp, an heirloom of the line of the Oracle of Ages, grants the one who plays it the power to control time, albeit in a rather limited way. Link can obtain it in Nayru's house and will learn to play a total of three tunes over the course of the game. While time travel is not possible in dungeons, Link can still use the harp to defeat Pols Voice by simply playing one of the available tunes.
It should be noted that Link will not be able to travel through time in Yoll Graveyard, the Sea of No Return and the Black Tower grounds. If he gets stuck in a solid object while traveling through time, he will be sent back to the age he came from automatically.

[edit] Songs
[edit] Tune of Echoes
Link is taught the "Tune of Echoes" during a telepathical message he receives from Nayru right after picking up the harp itself. Whenever the "Tune of Echoes" is played, it will energize all nearby time portals (time portals appear as brown pads with whirlpool symbols engraved on them) and allow Link to use them to travel from Past to Present and vice versa.
[edit] Tune of Currents
Link learns the second tune, the "Tune of Currents" from the musical researcher Tokkey who resides in a hidden grotto in Talus Lake. If Link plays the "Tune of Echoes" in front of him, Tokkey finds inspiration and teaches him the "Tune of Currents". This tune will allow Link to travel from the Past to the Present at will, but not the other way around.
[edit] Tune of Ages
The final song is learned from Nayru. She will teach Link the "Tune of Ages" after she has been rescued from Veran's possession. It allows him to travel from Past to Present at will, as well as the other way around.
