Meadow, Darunia, Mido
Learn it by talking to Saria in the Sacred Forest Meadow, at the far side of the Lost Woods. Darunia dances if he hears it and gives you Goron's Bracelet, which is the strength to lift the cavern bomb flowers. Mido steps aside for the same melody when adult Link wants the meadow. Skull Kid's heart piece is a third use, written on the Lost Woods page. The hint calls are the everyday use: play it in a field and she talks.
People mix this tune up with the Song of Time because both feel like home themes. The button line is the check. Remake players who only own a single Joy-Con should still be able to hit R, A and Y. N64 players do not have a Y button, which is why the C-stick line exists. Do not play the remake chart on a C-button pad and expect the meadow to answer.
The three important listeners — original game
Darunia, Mido and Skull Kid respond to the same melody for different reasons. Darunia's dance advances the early Goron quest and leads to the bracelet. Adult Mido recognizes the tune and moves aside on the route through the Lost Woods. The lone child-era Skull Kid gives a Piece of Heart, which is distinct from the nearby two-Skull-Kid memory game. The song's ordinary use is contacting Saria for advice. None of those effects teleports Link: Minuet of Forest is the separate warp melody learned from Sheik. Check the exact controller column before playing, because the original C-buttons and later lettered pads label the same musical notes differently.
