Ocarina of Time Scarecrow's Song

In Ocarina of Time, Link can learn the optional Ocarina Song, the Scarecrow's Song, allowing him to uncover secrets and shortcuts found throughout the world. Below is a full guide on how to learn, activate, and use the Scarecrow's Song, allowing with all 13 locations where the scarecrow can be summoned.

Scarecrow Song's

Creating the Song

As a child, make your way over to Lake Hylia and head to the small fences at the northeast part of the area where you will find two Scarecrow's here. Speak with Bonooru, who is located at the bottom and he'll tell you that he never forgets a tune. Put him to the test and pull out your Ocarina. Make up your own Ocarina Song and memorize the notes. It must be at least 8-notes, so I suggest an easy to remember pattern.

Activating the Song

As an adult, return to Lake Hylia and head back to Bonooru. Pull out the Ocarina and play the same 8-note song that you played to Bonooru as a child. This will activate the song, allowing you to play it in specific locations throughout the world. If at anytime you forget the Scarecrow's Song, you can return to being a child and repeat the whole process.

How It's Used

Throughout the Overworld and within specific dungeons, there are specific spots where Navi flies over to an area and turns green. All 13 of these locations, which are listed below, allow you to play the Scarecrow's Song to summon Pierre. Link can then use the Hookshot or Longshot to reach Pierre and find whatever secret or shortcut lies ahead.

Locations

• 

  Location: Entrance of the Sacred Forest Meadow
  Purpose: Allows Link to quickly bypass the Moblins and the maze.

• 

  Location: After reaching the checkerboard floor room in the Forest Temple with the falling ceiling, Link can head out a nearby door to reach the Northeast courtyard.
  Purpose: This serves as a shortcut, making it much easier to reach the later portion of the dungeon, without having to backtrack.

• 

  Location: Inside of Dodongo's Cavern. From the main chamber, head through the door to the southeast and you can summon Pierre no the higher ledge.
  Purpose: Grappling up to Pierre allows Link to reach a Scarecrow that he previously could not reach.

• 

  Location: On top of the Lakeside Laboratory at Lake Hylia.
  Purpose: Allows Link to reach the roof, where he can climb the tower to find a Piece of Heart.

•

  Purpose: This particular Scarecrow location has no purpose other than to bring attention to the Fire Arrows that can be acquired after completing the Water Temple.

When Link first enters this room on the second floor, he can turn to the right and look up to find a platform. He can play the Scarecrow's Song to summon Pierre.
