The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Remake features an updated way to play Link’s legendary instrument, and fans are using it to cover their favourite tracks.
One of Link’s most powerful tools in Ocarina Of Time is the classic pipe. As the fantasy game progresses, you learn songs that can change day into night, summon your trusty stead Epona and unlock secret passageways. You can play these short melodies by using the Nintendo Switch 2’s controller, or make use of the console’s impressive microphone to turn real-world sounds such as humming into in-game songs.
The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Remake was released last week, but players are already using the updated ocarina system to create versions of hit songs.
