The Ocarina refers to the power of the Harbingers to manipulate reality via submissions of videos, images, and sound files. It is implied that this power was bestowed to the players by Luna herself. Tenebris also seemingly has the ability to both utilize and transfer this power.

Usage

Players can utilize The Ocarina by posting images, videos, or sound files wherever The Ocarina is currently being hosted. This is a process known as "Submitting". The location where The Ocarina is hosted has changed throughout the course of Johnisdead. It is usually hosted on a website such as Within Hubris or Lunarchildren.com. The effects of the submission depend on what exactly was submitted and they usually effect the current Link. Example: the "Song of Storms" is likely to result in a storm manifesting near the Link. Submissions generally need to be images, videos, or sounds originating from The Legend of Zelda series. However, there have been a few rare exceptions to this rule.

History

The players first discovered the power of The Ocarina on September 19th, 2010 during Ben Drowned. Tenebris congratulated them for realizing their abilities, though he warned that this power could easily double as a hindrance.[1] Sure enough, due to several poorly timed submissions, the players ended up harming a few of their allies.[2] This happened near the beginning of Johnisdead as well in 2015, with players nearly killing Doug and Mason at multiple points.[3]

  2. ↑ Players made faulty submissions in Ben Drowned in the following examples:
    • "The Song of Healing was played by HigurashiMGOST, against the wishes of many other users. This song, which was accepted almost immediately after the New Wave Bossa Nova, caused Rosa to disappear." (link)
    • "The Oath to Order was played by moonman2522. However, as the in-game requirement for this song to work is the four giants having been freed, we had not yet met the equivalent requirement for this song to have a positive effect. Instead, it is believed to have killed Alex." (link)
    • "Another user, Cerxi, played the Sonata of Awakening. It is unknown what this video's intention was, but it caused Alex to disappear." (link)
  3. ↑ A few faulty player submissions in early Johnisdead include the following:
    • The "Song of Storms" submission here.
    • At 11:19 PM, the player Mugen Kagemaru submitted the "Song of Storms" in response to Patrem's "wet the ashes" phrase.
    • At 12:50 AM, Doug made a post that simply read "It's raining too hard." along with a picture of a flooding room.
    • The "Stone Mask" submission here.
  • At 9:10 PM, the player Seeker submitted the video "StoneMask.arg" - a video of Majora's Mask featuring Link taking off the "Deku Mask" and applying the "Stone Mask". This was done in an attempt to hide Doug from whatever was watching him at the fishery.
  • At 12:28 AM, Doug made a new post on his blog titled "Excommed". He claims that everyone has been ignoring him, indicating that the Stone Mask was successful. However, Doug is becoming very depressed due to its effects. This post was accompanied by a photo of a man sitting alone in a room.

    • The submission of "Jailbreak.wmv" here.

  • At 2:54 AM, the player Circlehunter submitted the video "Jailbreak.wmv" - a video of Majora's Mask featuring Link dancing with the "Kamaro's Mask, playing the "Song of Soaring" to escape to Link's house from "Ocarina of Time" before playing the "Song of Storms" to make it rain, and finally playing the "Sun's Song to turn day into night.
  • Helper informs the players that Mason has been trapped within a storm drain that is currently filling with water - an adverse effect of "Jailbreak.wmv".
