Video game ocarina tabs

This page collects the video game music in our library outside The Legend of Zelda, grouped by series. Zelda has its own page, since it is the reason many people pick up an ocarina in the first place.

Game music tends to suit the ocarina. Older consoles could play only a few notes at once, so their composers had to make the melody carry the whole tune, and later series kept that habit. Most of these themes are short, repeat their main phrase and are written to be hummed, which is all an ocarina needs.

The library includes Pokémon from Pallet Town to Lugia's Song, four Final Fantasy pieces by Nobuo Uematsu, Dearly Beloved and Simple and Clean from Kingdom Hearts, Megalovania and Hopes and Dreams from Undertale, plus Mario, Kirby, Sonic, Minecraft, Skyrim, Portal, Animal Crossing and both Tetris themes.

Each section starts with its easiest tab. Most tabs are written for a 12-hole Alto C ocarina and a few for an Alto F, and every one can be shown for a C or F 12-hole, a 6-hole or 4-hole pendant or a double; the chart under each note is redrawn for your instrument, and the tab warns you if a note falls outside its range.
