Select controller:There are many songs that you can play on the ocarina. Some of these are needed for the game, but it is possible to play other songs as well.
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 
and 
to play notes. Holding 
makes the note sharp, and holding 
makes the note flat. 
gradually raises the note to its next higher note, and 
dips it to the next lower one. 
or 
makes your note have a vibrating effect.
Song List
Note: you must learn these in the game in order for their effects to work.
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.
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).
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.
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.
Song of Time
Use to get into Temple of Time or manipulate a blue block in some areas.
Song of Storms
Use to make it temporarily rain and open secret grottoes in certain areas. Can also summon a fairy if Navi turns green around an area.
