The tabs
Read from left to right, as sheet music. Each note sits on the staff, with a picture of the ocarina under it: terracotta holes are covered, and the two small circles are the thumb holes. The note’s name is under the picture. A hollow head is a long note and a filled one a short one; a dot makes a note half as long again. For every fingering in detail, see the fingering chart.
Plays the tune at the ocarina’s own pitch.
Now play it.
Ocarina Quest listens while you play, waits for each note and shows you which ones were off.
Coming soon to Google Play
About this song
Origin: Played on the in-game ocarina in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Nintendo, 1998); only the short sequence is shown
In the game
In Ocarina of Time it turns day into night and the other way round, and freezes some monsters.
Buttons: C-right · C-down · C-up · C-right · C-down · C-up
The tricky spot
The jump from F up to high D is wide, so give that note a little more air.
Where it sits on the learning path
You can play this after the unit “High D and E” of the app’s course.
