Lon Lon Ranch theme

The Lon Lon Ranch theme is the music of the place. Koji Kondo wrote it for Ocarina of Time. It is longer than Epona’s Song, it is not a sequence you enter on the ocarina, and Malon’s singing is a vocal layer on the arrangement. When you stand near her you hear the song. When you walk the rest of the yard you hear the instrumental theme. Search pages that promise chords, MIDI, or “return to Lon Lon Ranch” are almost always about this track.

Two mixes in the game

Zelda Dungeon describes a vocal mix that appears near Malon and an instrumental mix everywhere else on the ranch. Malon’s vocal shares Epona’s Song’s melody with the background arrangement. The short ocarina input and the longer album track have different uses and track labels.

Releases

The Switch 2 remake uses a new orchestral arrangement. Zelda Wiki says so, and a 6 Nov 2026 upload titled as the Switch 2 OST is the recording linked below. I do not have an official track number for that arrangement, so the number cell stays empty.

Sheet music and MIDI

• Official audio: Nintendo Music app. There is no web track page and no MIDI download.
• Player score: MuseScore user 29509, score 48374. I could see the search listing; the page itself sits behind a check I did not complete, so I am linking the URL rather than describing the notation.
• MIDI: VGMusic’s Nintendo 64 directory lists Lon Lon Ranch (Arranged) by Nighteyes. It is a fan arrangement, not an official Nintendo download.
• No chord chart. The Epona’s Song analysis (D major, F major, swing) is a different piece.

“Return to Lon Lon Ranch” appears on Shazam as its own title. One listing is not enough for me to call it an official sequel cue, so it is not in the release table.
