How to get the Scarecrow Song in Ocarina of Time
Here's how to unlock the Scarecrow Song in the Ocarina of Time remake, allowing you to summon a scarecrow for your Hookshot.
The Scarecrow Song is an optional yet handy song in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake that assists players in accessing otherwise unreachable areas. While it isn't necessary to beat the game, obtaining it is crucial to collect all Pieces of Heart and Skulltula Tokens. To unlock this song, players can converse with the scarecrows found at Lake Hylia.
Pierre, the scarecrow nearer to the lake's entrance, will instruct young Link to create the song using his ocarina. Any melody played here will be the Scarecrow Song, so players must remember it, take screenshots, or write it down, as the game won't record it. Once Bonooru, the second scarecrow, hears the song from Pierre, he'll dance in delight and reveal Pierre.
Bonooru will request the Scarecrow Song once more, allowing players to summon Pierre at a specific location. The song's tune will be saved in the top right slot of the ocarina when pressed. Furthermore, players can locate the Scarecrow Song in the laboratory's roof swirl and bypass the magic bean requirement for the Piece of Heart atop the tower.
If players forget the song, they can play it again as a child in Lake Hylia. The Ocarina of Time remake offers various guides for different aspects of the game, including dungeon walkthroughs, tips for finding collectibles, and strategies for achieving 100% completion.
