Sirens' Musical Instruments
These musical instruments were once used by the band of Sirens as they sang to lure sailors to their doom. Now it is rumored that they lie in the depths of the dungeons, guarded by powerful monsters. If you obtain all of these instruments you will be able to solve the riddle of the Wind Fish.

In Link's Awakening, there is a total of eight different Instruments of the Sirens.[3] Before ending up in their respective Dungeons guarded by a Nightmare, they have been used in the past by Sirens to lure sailors to their death.[4] After Link manages to obtain the full set of Instruments, he can use the Ocarina to play the Ballad of the Wind Fish in front of the Wind Fish's Egg to crack it open, allowing him to enter.

Therefore, Link must find the scattered Instruments throughout Koholint Island in order to leave.
