Zelda's Lullaby

Zelda's Lullaby is the official title for the melody used as Princess Zelda's personal theme, starting with The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

In A Link to the Past, the song played in its full form (if Zelda's dialogue was not scrolled too quickly) when Zelda was first met. A shortened form that left out the bridge would play in the Dark World whenever Link saved one of the crystallized maidens, including Zelda herself.

The tune would return in its most obvious form The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. In this game, Link was taught to play it on his ocarina by Impa shortly after meeting Zelda. In addition to being the song used to put Zelda to sleep as a child (hence its name), it was also used to show that one had connections to the Royal Family. It would also often cause some special effect if played near a Triforce mark, such as in the Kakariko Graveyard or the Water Temple.

The song would be remixed in most later games in the series, usually playing in scenes focusing on Zelda directly.

Trivia

 * When played in Ocarina of Time, Zelda's Lullaby is a double sequence of the left arrow, up arrow, and right arrow on the musical score. It is noticeable that each group of three arrows somewhat forms the the shape of the Triforce (three arrows joined together facing in opposite directions).
 * If played next to a broken sign in Ocarina of Time, the sign will repair, making it readable again.
