[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
The "Scarecrow's Song" is composed by playing an eight-note song for Bonooru found near Lake Hylia. As long as the notes are not the same as those used in another song Link can play (If one tries to use the same notes of another song for the scarecrow song, Bonooru will tell you that he feels that that song is needed for something else), the Scarecrow remembers Link's song for future use. When Link returns to the same area seven years later, the Scarecrow remembers the song upon being played it. He arranges it so that his friend Pierre appears whenever the song is played in certain areas, indicated by Navi, allowing Link to use him as a target to reach areas he could not reach before.
[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
The "Scarecrow's Song" is composed by playing an eight-note song for Bonooru, who can be found in either the Trading Post or the Astral Observatory. Once he has learned the song, he will appear, much like Pierre from Ocarina of Time, in certain areas when it is played. If the three-day cycle is restarted by playing the "Song of Time", Link must create the song from scratch again.
