Scarecrow’s Song in Ocarina of Time Remake: Learn and Summon
Learn the custom Scarecrow’s Song in the Switch 2 remake, confirm it as an adult, check your melody and summon Hookshot targets at illustrated example spots.
How do I create the Scarecrow’s Song?
Visit the two scarecrows on the shore of Lake Hylia as a child and take out the ocarina in front of Bonooru. Choose eight notes using at least two different pitches and keep the sequence easy to repeat. There is no universal fixed score: this melody is your own.
What must I do as an adult?
Return to Bonooru at Lake Hylia as an adult and repeat the same melody. Creating it as a child is only the first stage. Once registered, take out the ocarina and use ZL to view the score when you need to check your tune.
Why is the song not working?
Check the eight-note sequence and whether you confirmed it as an adult. Summoning works only at suitable spots, not anywhere in Hyrule. Look for drifting straw, play the tune, then aim your Hookshot or Longshot at Pierre. If he appears but the hook cannot reach, check your position and range.
Where can I use the song?
The pictures below show existing collection uses, not the lake learning scene or every summon point in the remake. Each card lists its own equipment conditions and links back to the map. The lakeside laboratory roof is another illustrated use.
