[[Image:Recorder.gif|left]]The [[recorder]] is an item found only in ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'', which allows you to warp to any dungeon you have cleared. If you are facing north or west, you warp to the next dungeon. If you are facing south or east, you warp to the dungeon before the one you are at. An extended version of the melody, played the recorder, is played in the title screen of [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]. The sound of the Recorder is identical to that of the [http://www.mariowiki.com/Warp_Whistle Warp Whistle] from ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.
