Your Scarecrow Song

[Evenstevenp]

In Ocarina of Time, there is a scarecrow that you can play any tune to, and that will be your scarecrow song.

What do you usually do for this?

Mine is usually

< ^ > V < ^ > V
Left, Up, Right, Down, Left, Up, Right, Down

What about you?

[lonely_moon]

My Scarecrow Song has always been:

^ < v > ^ < v >
Up, left, down, right, up, left, down, right

played pretty quickly. I could have made it something nicer, but since I was so used to it from the other file that was on my OoT cartridge (it's a pre-owned copy), I kept it.

[zzRICHzz]

wow that is so funny cuz mine is simply:

v > ^ < v > ^ <
down, right, up, left, down, right, left, up

the first time i ever played i figured i would make it easy for now and change it later but i never did.... ten years and at least 10 play-throughs later it is still the same.

[Botar]

Mine is very simple,

↑ ↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ↓ a a

Not too creative, didn't want to forget it, but it does sound cool.

[drizztman55]

the very first time i made one on MM i think it was just up/down four times in a row.....
now on OoT its ^<>↓aaaa (descending not order i think)

[online-music]

My Scarecrow Song is


^ v < > ^
up down left right down

[MrMosley]

I actually tried to make mine sound like a nice song. Mine went

A > < ^, A > < ^

And when I would record it for him, I would hold the A in each part a little longer than the rest of the notes. So it made for a pretty neat original tune.

[basement24]

Mine was a goofy sounding song that I thought fit the Scarecrow's personality. It was a simple ^v^v ^v^v. I always played it with that gap in the middle, and it made it a bit of a jaunty tune. I don't know why I played it that specific way. Regardless, it was very easy to remember, which was the original idea.

[Nejiron]

I tried to put the Bolero of Fire in MM, and I failed.
v A v A > A > A

[StalfosSlayer]

last time i played it i used v^ ^v v^ ^V. i always do one for its ease to remember and not its sound. and from memory bolero of fire is vAvA>v>v.

[Master Kokiri 9]

My scarecrow song has always been down up down up down up down up. I know it's not that creative but i didn't want to forget it so yeah.

[ForestSheikah]

A < > < ^> A <

The beginning of the X-Files theme for Ocarina of Time.

[PimPSlaP]

My pesonal scarecrow song is down, A, up, up, down, A, up, up.
It is kind of sad, but I know two of friend's scarecrow songs.
Friend #1's: left, down, right,left, up, right, right, down
Friend #2's: up, up, right, right, down, down, left, left

[Zarom]

Me it used to be: A, A, A, A, A, A, A, Down

Now in OOT: A, Right, Left, A, Right, Left, Right, A (Goron's Lullaby!)

And in MM: Down, A, Down, A, Right, A, Right, A (Bolero of Fire!)

Pretty nice trick, isn't it? :ocarina::ocarina::ocarina:

[Zach]

For both game's I did the Banjo Kazooie theme, but in D because the ocarina is tuned in D. (Though if you press down the analog stick, it tunes down a full step.)

^ > < > ^ > < >

[rocker_3]

mine has always been
^>>>>>>>
up once, then right 7 times. simple enough

[Nepolink]

> v < ^ > v < ^

Always used this one. How many times i played it. I love the tune how i do this one. xD

[ShellShocker]

I already made a thread like this, but it is pretty old.

Read the first post there for my response.

[RedToonLink]

A world without danger.I don't rember how to play it,my bro made it.:(

[Linkette]

<,<,<, down, <, ^, A, >
or left, left, left, down, left, up, A, right

If you play it, you'll realise it's the beginning of the Mario theme. lol.

[Dirty Link]

always has been and always will be 7 As and up C. I need to remember it not like it lol.

[Avilink777]

Mines left, up, right, down, a, left, up, right.Ieasy for me to remember!!

[Brandikins]

The first time I did it I went: Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right.

[linktothefuture]

Mine is simple and easy to remember. (down) up (down) up (down) up (down) up (down) ect.

[Pocket Asian]

Mine was ^(up) <(left) >(right) v(down) ^ < > v.

But in MM, my Scarecrow's song was the Bolero of Fire.

[Death]

On my first playthrough it was just down, A over and over again.
Right now it's something i call Cold Man's Blues: Right, Down, A, Right, Down, A (Pause) Right, Up

[Bigelover88]

Mine is very easy: A^A^A^A^
I don't care much about the Scarecrow song.

[miku]

<,<,<, down, <, ^, A, >
or left, left, left, down, left, up, A, right

If you play it, you'll realise it's the beginning of the Mario theme. lol.
Maybe to someone who's tone deaf.


The scarecrow's song I use nowadays is the motif from Rachmaninoff's Etude-tableu in C major (except in D of course):

^ > A, ^ > ^ > A



But I think the first one I ever made was, like a previous poster in this thread, A ^ A ^ A ^ A ^.

[Ikana]

Mine is very easy: A^A^A^A^
I don't care much about the Scarecrow song.
That's what I always did.I always use that so I can remember it even in MM

[DesertDweller]

My scarecrow song was
^>v<^>v<

Up Right Down Left Up Right Down Left

Yes I am that boring. :( And yes I did forget it the first couple of times I needed it in OoT. :P

[celibi88]

>>>>>>><
so i never forget it XD
(staling so i get 50 characters.....)

[Hiroshi Mishima]

I always found it kinda annoying with the Scarecrow songs, so I just went with something simple and easy to remember. Mainly cause I started getting really confused by the other songs when I started getting more. I typically did like the thread starter with ^ > v < ^ > v < but by Majora's Mask I learned I could get away with an even simpler < > < > < > < > because that's a lot faster.

[LozzyKate]

My song was

<^^>><^^

Left, up, up, right, right, left, up, up.

[Igos du Ikana]

The Scarecrow Song was kind of random for the game, but I liked all the secrets it could open up.
My OoT one was: >>>>>>>>
Yeah, I know how simplistic that one was...
My MM one was: A^><><><
Basically a modified Minuet of Forest.

[Starchain1]

depends on how im playing if i want speed then ><><><><
if beauty ^>>^<<^><
if confusion random notes

[Xinnamin]

Mine was ^ V > < ^ V > < (North South East West North South East West). I figured it would be easy to remember since trying to remember left/right tends to screw me up so I figured I'd remember it using cardinal directions. Ironically, I still get the left and right notes mixed up occasionally.

[laken7]

Mine is ^ > ^ > A < ^ A.
Original I guess, but it sounds awful due to the fact that I was unaware at the time of recording that I needed to play it fast. So now it is all slow and dumb-sounding.

[Olaf Forkbeard]

AAAAAAAV It was the fastest I could record it, to save time.

[GamerMomma]

Great topic idea! I cannot remember my original song :( but what I use now... D R L U D R L U I'll have to test out some tunes on here, great ideas.

[blubb]

I always used
← ↑ → ↓ ← ↑ → ↓ as an easy-to-remember modification of Zelda's lullaby (or circling clockwise twice, starting with left)

[Dinalfo]

Well I did find it cool that you could make up song, but short and simple for me would be:

OOT & MM: <-, A, <-, A , <-, A, <-, A

I usually try to see how fast I can do it to make it almost a no-sound tune.

[Goron Guru]

I can almost use "Iron Man" as mine :) Still need a bit of practice, though.

[Mute]

I've always just used Oath to Order with a few repeating notes at the end to fill in the last few spaces. Yeah, not very original, but it's one of my favourite ocarina songs, even if I have to repeat it at the end just to fill in the remaining notes.

Of course, I've attempted to use other MM songs too, rarely anything else so I wouldn't have to memorize something over, though.
