Zelda ocarina songs and tabs
Every song you play on the ocarina in Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask is only five to eight notes long, so each fits in one line of tabs. Here are all 21 for the 12-hole alto C ocarina, with the game’s buttons next to the real notes.
Each one has its own page with a Listen button and the tricky spot to practise. Learning the notes first? Try the fingering chart.
