If game save or connection is missing
First, check if the app and console are using the same Nintendo Account and if that account already has game saves. Keep the console online while playing and check that user data sharing is enabled. Update the app, operating system, and default browser; on Android, also update Android System WebView. If problems persist, log out of the app and log back in. If there is a Nintendo service outage, try again after maintenance is complete.
Ocarina Help in the Solution Area
The Ocarina Songs open pathways and lead you to travel platforms. The Scarecrow Song is saved as a child with Bonooru and confirmed as an adult. The microphone settings on the console are located under Controls and Camera .
