'''Zelda's Lullaby''' is one of the most reoccurring songs in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. It is most often used as [[Zelda]]'s theme song whenever she makes an appearance, often only the first time. It is also known as the melody of the [[Royal Family of Hyrule|Hyrule Royal Family]]. The song is only playable in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' with the [[Fairy Ocarina]] or the [[Ocarina of Time]] and [[Howling Stone]]s respectively.

==''A Link to the Past''==

==''Ocarina of Time''==

Zelda's Lullaby gets its name from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. When [[Link]] learns the song from [[Impa]], she informs him that it is a sacred song passed down throughout the generations in the [[Royal Family of Hyrule]] and that it served as Zelda's Lullaby when she was young. This song is one of the most important in the game, as it is used frequently to gain access to new areas. The first time Link must play it is to gain entrance to [[Darunia]]'s chambers in [[Goron City]] on [[Death Mountain]]. The next time is to get through the waterfall outside [[Zora's Domain]]. It is used in the [[Water Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Water Temple]] to change the level of the water. It is used in the [[Shadow Temple]] to start the boat moving. It is required in the [[Spirit Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Spirit Temple]] to open a sealed door. Link is also required to play it to summon the [[Great Fairy|Great Fairies]] in the [[Great Fairy Fountain]]s. Additionally, Link can play this song to repair broken signs.

Zelda's Lullaby is also used to show affiliation with the Royal Family, as seen when [[Link]] gains access to [[Darunia]]'s chambers in [[Goron City]].

==''Majora's Mask''==

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', there are only a few appearances of this song. The first time is when [[Link]] retrieves the [[Ocarina of Time]] from [[Skull Kid]]. Link has a flashback where he remembers [[Zelda|Princess Zelda]] giving him the [[Ocarina of Time]] and learning the [[Song of Time]]. During the flashback, the song that plays in the background is Zelda's Lullaby or Zelda's Theme. The song can also occasionally appear in the northern part of [[Termina Field]] on the wall where Link can play a song for some [[Rupee]]s.

==''The Wind Waker''==

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', Zelda's Lullaby only appears as background music. The first appearance is where [[Tetra]] is revealed to be [[Zelda|Princess Zelda]] in the basement of [[Hyrule Castle]]. The only other appearance of the song is during the ending credits in parts of the complete ending theme.

==''Four Swords Adventures''==

==''The Minish Cap''==

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', [[Link]] must play the song as a wolf to gain access to the [[Sacred Grove]]. On the first time playing the song, [[Skull Kid]] appears. After defeating [[Skull Kid]] and entering the newly opened path, [[Link]] must then play the song again to awaken the guardian statues and complete their puzzle. Finally, [[Link]] can enter the chamber where the [[Master Sword]] waits for him.

The song also appears as background music during several scenes with [[Zelda|Princess Zelda]] herself.

==''Phantom Hourglass''==

==''Spirit Tracks''==

==''Skyward Sword''==

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'', Zelda's Lullaby does not appear in game, but the song can be heard by reversing the [[Ballad of the Goddess]]. This was discovered very soon after a trailer for ''Skyward Sword'' was released featuring the song and was said to be put in as an easter egg for previous players of the franchise.

==''Breath of the Wild''==

*Zelda's Lullaby has been [[Zelda|Princess Zelda]]'s theme song in almost every game since ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''.

*Zelda's Lullaby can be heard in multiple places in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''.
