The Nintendo Switch 2 remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has a pretty cool feature coming out "later this year," involving physical, playable ocarinas. When you play the ocarina within the range of the Switch 2's built-in microphone, Link in the game will start playing the exact notes for you. You can even hum one of Link's learned ocarina melodies, and the effect is still the same. HORI is also releasing an electric version that plays entire songs at the press of a button. You can also input notes through dedicated controller buttons.
