When I think of the Ocarina (which isn’t often), I always think of The Legend of Zelda game for Nintendo 64. Now, the ancient flute-like wind instrument played by Link may turn into an everyday musical apparatus since a group of Japanese designers have created the iPhone Ocarina.

Because the iPhone Ocarina is made out of three iPhones mounted on a laser-cut body, it has garnered the reputation for being the world’s most expensive Ocarina. And, because the iPhone Ocarina is a wind instrument, the player actually has to ‘blow’ to produce sound.
