VGC has published a pair of guides for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, walking players through two of the game's more easily missed systems: the hidden Forest Stage and the full ocarina songbook.

The Forest Stage guide covers where to find the secret venue and how to claim every reward it offers. The companion piece lists every song in the remake alongside the steps needed to unlock each one — a core progression system, since the ocarina's melodies gate travel and puzzle-solving across Hyrule.

Both guides landed on November 9 as part of a steady stream of coverage while players dig into the remake of Nintendo's 1998 classic. For completionists, the Forest Stage has long been one of the original game's more obscure diversions, tucked away where plenty of first-time players never stumble across it, so a dedicated walkthrough should save some aimless wandering in the Lost Woods. The song guide, meanwhile, is the kind of reference worth keeping open for the whole playthrough — missing a melody at the wrong moment has stalled many a Hyrule adventure.
