Ocarina of Time on Switch 2: do you hum the songs into the mic or stick to buttons, and is this your first time in Hyrule or are you a 1998 veteran?

Opening question

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has been out on Nintendo Switch 2 since November 5, rebuilt with new visuals, voiced cutscenes, orchestral music and modern controls. One feature is very 2026: Nintendo says you can hum a song Link has learned, or play it on a real instrument, near the console's built-in microphone, and Link plays it in the game.

Now that the game has been out for a few days, we would like to hear how it plays for you:
Ocarina: are you humming Zelda's Lullaby and Epona's Song into the mic, playing a real instrument, or just using the buttons? Does the console reliably recognise your tune?
Is this your first Ocarina of Time, or did you play it in 1998 on Nintendo 64 (or later on 3DS)?
Veterans: do the voiced cutscenes, the jump button, the right-stick camera and the day/night cycle that keeps running in towns change the feel of the game for you, for better or worse?
Newcomers: does the Threads of Time screen (story progress and next objective) help you, or would you rather find your own way?
Which dungeon or boss are you on right now, without spoilers for others?

Please mark any story details with a spoiler warning.
