Quick answers
- Which buttons play the ocarina on Switch 2?
- With the default controls, L, R, A, Y and X play the five natural notes from lowest to highest. The +Control Pad shifts a note by a half step and the Left Stick by a whole step.
- Is it different on Nintendo 3DS?
- The notes are the same but the buttons are L, R, Y, X and A. Every tab on this site can be switched between the two consoles.
- Can I play songs that are not in the game?
- Yes. In free play the ocarina covers 19 notes, enough for many melodies. Tabs here show the exact button and bend for each note.
- Can I convert a MIDI file to ocarina buttons?
- Yes. The composer reads .mid files in your browser, lets you pick a track and a passage, then proposes the best transposition.
