The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake on Nintendo Switch 2 keeps the classic 12 fixed ocarina songs from the original, plus an optional custom Scarecrow Song. Each melody triggers specific effects for puzzles, travel, or combat. You learn them from characters or tablets as you progress. On Switch 2 the notes map to L, R, Y, X, and A. You can also hum tunes into the microphone once learned.

The optional Scarecrow Song is a custom eight-note melody you teach the scarecrow near Lake Hylia as Young Link. As Adult Link it summons Pierre at certain Hookshot spots. Songs only work in the right locations, so check your songbook on the ocarina menu if you forget an input. Learning them all unlocks full puzzle solutions and convenient travel across Hyrule.
