The Ocarina of Wind is an item in The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap. It is an ocarina crafted by the Wind Tribe. When Link plays the Ocarina of Wind, it summons a bird named Zeffa that can carry Link to Wind Crests throughout Hyrule.

Link receives the Ocarina of Wind at the top of the Fortress of Winds, the ancient home of the Wind Tribe, where the Wind Element was supposed to be held. However, when the Tribe moved, they took the element with them, and as such, makes the Fortress of Winds the first dungeon to yield a usable item as a reward for completion rather than a quest item.

The Ocarina of Wind plays the same role, and the same melody, as the Flute from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. This tune can also be heard in the intro screen for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Additionally, the same melody heard when the player uses a Warp Flute in Super Mario Bros. 3.
