So to be my eternal shame I have never played OoT. I never got into Zelda as a kid for whatever reason; I tried OoT as maybe a 20-year-old during a brief Nintendo renaissance where I was living, but got bored quickly; and then never touched Zelda (or really, Nintendo) again until I got my Switch and BOTW in 2018.
Needless to say, I am HYPED for N64 on NSO!

I'm surprised the uploader didn't note that the Ocarina actually does go beyond those five notes by combining the button presses with moving the analogue stick, You can also make changes by holding the R and Z Buttons. Presumably as a small easter egg.
Zelda's Lullaby also has a noticeable resemblance to "Concerto for Philodendron and Pothos" from the cult classic Synthesizer album Mother Earth's Plantasia, released in 1976.
Though considering the incredibly limited distribution (It was only available by buying a plant at a single store or a Mattress at Sears) of it, which was naturally limited to the US. It's more likely to be a coincidence.
