The Spirit Flute is an interesting instrument. It's central to Spirit Tracks, and it has a certain charm to it. The flute is first and foremost and pain to play. The touch controls combined with the need to simultaneously blow into the mic is an absolute bomb as far a controls. It feels like a blemish on an otherwise sharp control system. The songs are nigh impossible to play without awkwardly craning your neck to position the 3DS properly. The songs are also limited because you are also almost limited to playing one note and then a note right next to it due to the control system. One song is actually just two notes and nothing else.
This all being said. It still brings some nice musical properties to the game. The songs are all lively and diverse; even if you personally don't play all the notes. It's the closest they've come to recreating the infinitely epic Ocarina of Time, and come to think of it the Ocarina songs had some effects put into them as well . The Wind Waker's songs sounded too similar and none really left an impact, and TP took a big step back by limiting music to a few under-used tunes you either listen to through plants and or awkwardly howl. Don't even get me started on the o so obvious musical genius of SS. I guess the Spirit Flute really does bring back some charm back to the music that we haven't seen in a while; even if it is a pain to play. So what do we call it?
