Music obviously plays a major role in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and while most of the Ocarina songs will be mandatorily taught to Link for story progression, there are a few that can be missed entirely. The optional songs include some secrets and quality-of-life perks that might help you out as you complete the main story, so be sure to grab all of them as soon as you can! Story-Based Ocarina Song Locations All of these songs are learned through story progression, so you do not need to personally seek them out. They are required for various story tasks and the game will lead you to them when the time is right. You will need all of these songs to reach the end of the game.

Saria's Song A cheerful tune that connects to Saria and makes Darunia dance. R A Y R A Y After reaching Goron City, you'll be led into the Lost Forest and guided by a song to the Sacred Grove.

Optional Ocarina Song Locations Most songs are taught to Link naturally through the story, but if you venture off the beaten path, you can find a few optional songs. These songs aren't required for progression, but do make navigating Hyrule a bit easier. Sun's Song Location Melody A R X A R X Purpose Changes Night to Day and Day to Night While in Kakariko Village, head into the Graveyard, down the path to the right of the windmill. At the back of the Graveyard, you'll find a Triforce symbol on the ground. Play Zelda's Lullaby there to open the Royal Tomb, where you'll find the Sun Song. Epona's Song Location Melody R A Y R A Y Purpose Play this song to summon Epona, Link's horse. The first time you visit Hyrule Castle, you'll find a girl named Malon sitting outside the castle gate, waiting for her papa. She'll ask for your help waking up her dad, who she assumes has fallen asleep, and give you an egg that will hatch into a Wake-Up Cucco. Use this Cucco to wake up her dad when you find him inside the castle gates. Once you leave Hyrule Castle, they will have returned to Lon Lon Ranch. Exit the castle and head to the ranch in the middle of the field, where you can find Malon towards the back, with some horses. She'll introduce you to Epona and mention that there's a song that helps calm them. Pull out the Ocarina, and she'll teach you Epona's song. Scarecrow Song With Pierre And Bonooru Melody (Custom Input) Purpose Play whenever you see out-of-reach areas with straw floating around in the wind. It will summon Pierre, whom you can then use with your Hookshot. Once you reach Lake Hylia after diving in the Zora Domain, you'll find two scarecrows along the lake's edge. The scarecrows are named Pierre and Bonooru. If you approach Pierre, he'll ask you to play a song for him. There's no specific song to play. All you need to do is make one up. After you make up a song and play it, press 'ok' and Pierre will dance to your song. Once it's over, Pierre will instruct you to play it for Bonooru, who will memorize it. At this point, wait until you're able to return to these Scarecrows as adult Link, then play it for them again. This will fully unlock the song and the ability to use it.
