Link goes on to use the Harp to learn various songs that will help him advance in his adventure. He learns his first song, the "Ballad of the Goddess," from the Old Woman in the Sealed Temple. Later, he travels to the Isle of Songs, where he must play three different songs of the Goddesses to open the Silent Realm trials, and lastly learn the "Song of the Hero" from Levias and the three dragons of the Surface.
