All Ocarina of Time songs
Twelve songs have fixed button lines, plus Scarecrow’s Song which you invent. N64 and 3DS lines below come from Zelda Wiki’s button icons, cross-checked as text. Switch 2 is blank except Zelda’s Lullaby.
Choose a button notation, then play a practice melody. The five N64 notes are D, F, A, B, D; this browser demonstration uses D4 through D5 and even timing. With scripts off, all chart columns remain visible.

How to read the chart
The table above is the tool. N64 names the C-buttons and A. 3DS names X, Y, A, L, and R. Switch 2 shows a line only when a published note exists. Zelda’s Lullaby is Y, X, A, repeated — written elsewhere as Y, X, A ×2. I did not convert the other eleven by guessing which Switch 2 face button matches C-Left. Those cells say “Not published.”
Play melody follows the five N64 note assignments: A = D, C-Down = F, C-Right = A, C-Left = B and C-Up = high D. The browser uses D4–D5 as a comfortable demonstration octave and equal note lengths, rather than the game’s recorded instrument or performance timing. Button names are distinct from the fingering of a real 12-hole ocarina; see the instrument guide.
Teachers, from the same wiki pages: Impa (Lullaby), Saria (Saria’s Song), Malon (Epona’s Song), the composer brothers (Sun’s Song), Zelda (Song of Time), Guru-Guru (Song of Storms), and Sheik for the six warp songs. The remake adds a songbook and lets you hum or use a real instrument. Whether that needs the microphone is not on the store page. Detail pages: Zelda’s Lullaby, Saria’s Song, Song of Storms.
Questions
Why is Switch 2 empty for most songs?
Only Zelda’s Lullaby has a printed Switch 2 button line in the sources used here. Mapping the rest would be a guess.
Can I play these on a real ocarina?
The button names are not fingerings. The instrument page explains the 12-hole ocarina without inventing a tab.
