Neither. I honestly found mainly references to Zelda when I went looking, and thought the IRL ones were made based on the game.

The app must have simulated the game instrument, which had some sort of sustaining reverb. However, that wikipedia article is fantastic! There are multi-chambered ocarinas, which would support chords, which recorders don't; that's cool!

I honestly didn't know there was a real version first!

I mean, you can definitely make recorders with multiple chambers. Check out native American flutes - lots of which are essentially recorders. Just search for double flute or drone flute on YouTube.

There are many reproductions of the ocarina from the game but there are also like a billion different styles.

The Zelda ones are definitely the most popular though.
