Games
The Ocarina of Time has been featured in two different Zelda games, inculding The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. It has the same basic use in both games; playing songs.
Ocarina of Time (Game)
After Link finds all three Spiritual Stones, he can return to Hyrule Castle Town only to find it being overrun by the King of Thieves, Ganondorf. Princess Zelda flees and throws the Ocarina of Time in the moat. After Link refuses to tell Ganondorf where Zelda fled to, Link can swim in the moat to retrieve the Ocarina. Upon doing so, Princess Zelda teaches Link the Song of Time in a vision.
It is the only instrument that can open the Door of Time. While holding the three Spiritual Stones and playing the Song of Time at the altar in the Temple of Time, the Door of Time opens, revealing the Master Sword and the entrance to the Sacred Realm.
Majora's Mask
Link begins the game with the Ocarina of Time, but shortly after it is stolen by Skull Kid. He then is transformed into a Deku Scrub and goes around Clock Town looking for Skull Kid. He learns that Skull Kid is at the top of the Clock Tower. After stunning Skull Kid with a bubble, he can retrieve the Ocarina. After doing so, Princess Zelda will reteach him the Song of Time in a memory.
Its use is to play the various songs in the game, and is the only instrument in this game, unlike the Fairy Ocarina in Ocarina of Time. While in a form other than Hylian Link, the instrument changes into one that better suits his new form. Deku Pipes for a Deku Scrub, Drums for a Goron, and a Guitar for a Zora.
Songs
The Ocarina of Time's main use is to play songs, and thus there are plenty of songs found within the two games for Link to play.
Zelda's Lullaby
This song is one of the most used songs in the entire game of Ocarina of Time. It is taught to Link by Impa right after Princess Zelda has told Link that he needs to collect all three Spiritual Stones. It will come in handy throughout the entire game.
How to Play it
Zelda's Lullaby is played by using only the C-stick. The melody goes like this: c-left, c-up, c-right, c-left, c-up, c-right. It is a fairly basic tune, and will easily be remembered after playing it a few times. In the 3DS remake of the game, the melody is: X, A, Y, X, A, Y.
Uses
Zelda's Lullaby is the most used song throughout the entire game. It is used to open the entrance to Zora's Domain as a child, change the water level in the Water Temple, put signs back together, to prove to people that Link is connected to the Royal Family, to make fairies appear in areas where Navi turns green, and to open the Royal Family's tomb in the Kakariko Graveyard.
Saria's Song
Saria's Song is a song that allows Saria to talk to Link even if he is on the other side of Hyrule. Saria teaches Link this song after she learns the he has a job to do and will probably not be around the forest very much. Saria will often give Link hints as to where to go and who to see next.
How to Play it
Saria's Song is one of the first songs learnt throughout the course of the game, and thus it is very easy to play and remember the melody. In the N64 version of the game, it is played like this: c-down, c-right, c-left, c-down, c-right, c-left. In the 3DS remake of the game, Saria's Song is played like this: R, Y, X, R, Y, X.
Uses
Saria's Song is used so that Saria can talk to Link even if he is not in the Kokiri Forest. In the early stages of the game, she will give Link useful hints that can guide him through the first couple of dungeons. Later in the game when Link is an adult, he must return to the forest so he can go to the Forest Temple. However, Mido will block Link's way through the forest and say only people who know Saria can go through. By playing Saria's Song, Mido will be forced to accept Link knows Saria, and thus lets him pass.
Song of Time
The Song of Time is featured in both The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. In Ocarina of Time, is is taught to Link by Princess Zelda telepathicly after Ganondorf had attacked Hyrule Castle. Her and Impa are seen by Link galloping away from the castle on horseback. Zelda will see Link and toss the Ocarina of Time into the moat. Once Link goes and gets it, she will teach it to him telepathicly. In Majora's Mask, it is also taught to Link by Princess Zelda telepathicly. Once Link stuns Skull Kid with a bubble at the top of the Clock Tower, he will drop the Ocarina of Time, and once Link picks it up Zelda will teach it to him telepathicly.
How to Play it

It can also be used to move big, blue blocks that have the time symbol on them to helpful locations. In Majora's Mask, the Song of Time is used to return Link to the dawn of the first day. It also saves your progress through the game.
Epona's Song
Epona's Song is featured in both Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. In Ocarina of Time, it is taught to Link by Malon as a child.
