We've seen the iPhone used for a great deal of useless enterprises -- the drinking of virtual beers, the swinging of virtual lightsabers, the placing of actual telephone calls to other people, etc. However, a new application from Smule serves a rather legendary purpose -- the salvation of Hyrule. Yes, by downloading the Smule Ocarina (now available on the iTunes App Store for $0.99), users can either travel seven years into the future to thwart the plans of an evil dictator, or three days into the past to prevent a lunar catastrophe.
Two demo videos of the iOcarina are posted after the break. The first shows a man blowing his way through the Legend of Zelda theme song. The second, when played in reverse, reveals hidden Satanist propaganda.

The idea that this application would be used for anything other than Zelda is inconceivable. Hell, as a kid, I didn't that even know the ocarina was a real instrument.
(I've always wanted to buy one, wait for a downpour, and walk around outside playing the Song of Storms just to see who notices.)

Wow! Stairway to Heaven sounded so good. I feel like listening to led zeppelin now.
