Google Trends has ocarina of time remake switch 2 climbing this morning. Nintendo's remake of the 1998 classic lands on Switch 2 on November 5, and one detail in Nintendo's own trailer write-up is doing a lot of work: hum a melody Link has learned, or play one on an actual instrument, and the Switch 2 microphone will hear it and make Link's ocarina respond in the game.
Read that again. The game wants a real instrument. And you, a grown adult, were planning to hum into a console like it owes you money.
Meet the OcarinaWind 12 Hole Wooden Ocarina. It's an Alto C ocarina in the classic sweet potato shape, made from solid maple wood that's left untreated, so the grain and color vary a little from piece to piece. Yours won't look exactly like your friend's, which matters, because your friend is definitely getting one too.
The range runs from A4 to F6 with full sharps and flats. It's tuned in C and can dip below C down to A. OcarinaWind says each one is tuned twice before it ships.
In the box: the ocarina, an instructional booklet, a finger chart, a strap so you can wear it around your neck like you just left the Kokiri Forest, a velvet pouch, and a songbook that, per the listing, includes Zelda songs. You have about two weeks to go from "breathing into wood" to "recognizable melody." Doable. Your roommate's patience is the real boss fight.
Who it's for: anyone counting down to November 5, the friend who still knows every ocarina song by heart, and anyone who wants a pocket instrument that doesn't need a charger.
Skip it if you share thin walls with someone who works nights, or you'd rather pick the songs off a screen than learn them from a finger chart.
The verdict: hand-picked for the Ocarina of Time spike. The remake wants to hear a real instrument. Give it one.
