The Harp of Ages and Time Travel

The Harp of Ages is obtained after a series of events involving Nayru and Veran. Once you have it, pressing the Select button will bring up a menu where you can choose which tune to play. Initially, you'll only have the 'Tune of Echoes,' which allows you to travel between the present and past at specific time portals. As you progress, you'll learn more tunes that have different effects, such as warping to dungeons or changing the season.
