The Ocarina, known in Japanese as Magic Ocarina (魔法のオカリナ Mahou no Okarina), is an item in Wonder Boy in Monster World.
Description[]
The ocarina is found found within the cave near Alsedo Village. Its owner, Sonia lost it in the cavern, but Shion brought it back to her. When she realizes that he needs it to stop the Myconids, she teaches him three melodies (which are a combinations of buttons) that unseal the doors deep within the cavern. The ocarina has to be used and played in specific places (altars with music notes on them) inside the cavern in order to unlock the doors.
The ocarina is only used in the beginning of the game to open the doors in the cave, after that it is not needed anymore. Later, Shion could give it at the woman in the hut in the Sea in order to obtain informations about the location of the Mermaid's Tear, although it is not a requirement.
The ocarina also appeared in Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom as one of the Ancient Relics from Monster World's history.
