In the 3D remakes, the song first appears when Cecil and Rydia convince Edward to aid them in finding the Sand Pearl in the Antlion's Den. Later, Edward plays his harp by the oasis in Kaipo in reminiscence of Anna.
"Edward's Harp" plays an important role during the battle against the Dark Elf in the Lodestone Cavern. The magnetic field greatly weakens Cecil and his allies, but due to the Whisperweed they carry, Edward is alerted of their danger and plays his harp to help them. The music conveyed through the Whisperweed causes the Dark Elf to lose control of itself, allowing Cecil's party to wield metallic weapons and defeat it. The song continues to play throughout the battle until the Dark Elf transforms into the Dark Dragon.
