The Notes

After experimenting with the Ocarina and getting some help from my dad (he's a music theory expert), I finally have the list of all notes you can play on the Ocarina!

The chart is in order from lowest note to highest note (please click to enlarge.)

There are 19 notes in all, covering one and a half octaves. There are 45 button combinations total since some notes can be achieved with more than one button combination. When you see more than one button combination (separated by a comma) for one note on the chart, it doesn't matter which combination you chose; do whichever is most comfortable.

If you can read sheet music, you're in luck! You can take any song that covers a range of one and half octaves, and you can play it on the Ocarina by following this chart! If your song covers more than one and a half octaves (such as Zelda's Lullaby!) there is another way you can play that song (more on that later).

What if you can't read sheet music? That's OK, too! A goal of this site is to post step-by-step the directions on playing the full versions of every Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time song. Even if you don't have the slighest idea where to start with music theory (kinda like me...that's where my dad helps out!) you can just follow the directions to be posted on this site.

Next time I'm going to post step-by-step how to play our first song: the full version of The Epona Song!
