You can get small peruvian style ocarinas at www.hobgoblin.com. See under Recorders and Other Wind instruments. I don't know where you'd get a "sweet potato" Italian-style ocarina.

Thanks Eoin! Um, if I do end up getting an ocarnia, is there any place that has a fingering gide for them? And would the kind found at the wite that Eoin gave me be the type that Link plays in Zelda: Ocarina of Time? >_<

Peruvian-style ocarinas tend to have about 6 holes. Either it will come with a fingering chart or you will have to experiment, because no two are exactly the same.
Italian-style ocarinas have ten holes. They are a completely different shape and are sometimes called by Americans "sweet potato". I think the fingering on them is standard: they all use the same fingering, but I haven't seen a chart.
If you want to play a few notes, a peruvian will do, but for real music, you will need an Italian-style ocarina. Try and find a site that shows you a picture of the ocarina before you buy it. It should look like a tear-drop with a small pipe coming out of one side, with eight holes on the front. The other side has two thumb holes.

Hello,
This is a note regarding the prices and whereabouts you can buy an ocarina. As I have both of the Zelda games, I really love listening to the noise it makes. Could you tell me where I can find a GOOD one to buy and how much it would be. I would also like the ranging prices. Thankyou
