Ambient Sound Effects

Ambient Sound Effects is a background actor in Ocarina of Time.

Placement

An invisible ambient-sound emitter — but low bytes 0x0B/0x0C/0x0D/0x13 reach into the global BGM (volume duck, Saria's theme, Great Fairy theme), and 0x0C is save-gated and usually despawns.

Sound variants (22)

This actor is placed in one of these forms. Pick it from the editor's Sound dropdown. The value is what the actor's parameters store.

Sound bits 0–7: 22 options22 of 256 values usedRiver, River (Low) and River (High) differ only in pitch, and only over floor with no water current. Quieter Music plays nothing; it turns the scene music down. Saria's Song and Great Fairy Music get louder as you get closer; Saria's Song (Lost Woods) only plays once you have Zelda's Lullaby and not yet Saria's Song. Chamber of Sages and Rumbling sound the same everywhere in the room.
Path Index bits 8–15: 0–255. Read when path-following sounds (0/4/5).all 256 values usedThe sound plays from the nearest point of the path. Every other sound plays from one spot and ignores this. Which of the scene's paths the actor follows, as drawn in Actors mode. If the scene has no path at that index, the game can crash.
