[edit] Playing Songs

To play ocarina songs, select the C button it is equipped to. For the gamecube controller, you can use the C stick and/or X, Y, Z to select the items. The Classic controller uses the right stick x, y and/or zl/zr to select an item. Then, use A button and Left c Up c Right c Down c to play notes. Holding R button makes the note sharp, and holding Z button makes the note flat. Up control gradually raises the note to its next higher note, and Down control dips it to the next lower one. Left control or Right control makes your note have a vibrating effect.

[edit] Song List

Note: you must learn these in the game in order for their effects to work.

[edit] Zelda's Lullaby

Use anytime you see the Zelda family crest, or when you need to establish yourself as having been sent by the Royal Family. For example, when this song is played while standing on the TriForce-shaped crest in the Kakariko Graveyard, the Royal Tomb will open, allowing passage inside. Playing the tune in front of Darunia's room in Goron City will cause him to open the door into his room. Playing this song on the crest at the end of the Zora's River will reveal the entrance to Zora's Domain behind the waterfall. If you break a sign and play this song, the sign will come back together. Playing this song near one-eyed statues causes rejuvinating fairies to appear.

[edit] Epona's Song

Use in Hyrule Field to call Epona to your side (does not work before Link is turned to an Adult). Also, playing the song near a cow will earn you a bottle full of free milk (assuming you have an empty bottle).

[edit] Saria's Song

Use anywhere to talk to Saria. Saria will give you a very basic clue as far as where you should proceed next. For example, after obtaining the Red Stone from the Gorons, the only way of knowing to visit the Zoras for the remaining Blue Stone is to talk to Saria.

[edit] Sun's Song

Anytime you can see the sky (ie., not in a dungeon), play this song to switch between day and night. After playing this song, the game will proceed from either 12:00 noon or 12:00 midnight. This song also freezes ReDeads, but only temporarily. This song can also summon a fairy if Navi turns green.
