Nintendo Gaming / A mic on the Wiimote seems promising

Spit Valves for the Wii-mote?

While hearing the crackle of the bow and the whizz of the arrow sounds great, what if we can actually play the ocaria we may see in Twilight Princess. Considering that the Nintendo DS has a microphone on it that players are able to blow into while manipulating something on screen like a sailboat for exmple makes it clear that the Wiimote could handle such functionality if it sports a fancy microphone. Maybe then we can hold it like a flute with our left hand touching the d-pad and the A button for each note and our right just for extra support while blowing into it to ring each note out. You'd only hear the notes if you blew like a real flute or ocarina. This is something very possible that would not only work extremely well but would add something even greater to the game, the chance to actually feel as if you are playing the ocarina, something many Zelda fans would find very exciting.

This is an article I wrote about the possibilty that the Wiimote could be used as an Ocarina for Twilight Princess which says that simply blowing into the Wiimote like you can with the DS might prove promising:
