Wonder Boy Collection (2022)

Hey, so I just wanted to know if anybody has played Wonder Boy in Monster World (Not monster world 4) on the switch version (or any console that doesn't have a 'c' button) because I Think I need some help with the ocarina section of this game. The prompt to play a song that iirc goes bababcb to open doors. Only problem is that replacements for the classic button inputs aren't there. What I mean is that it doesn't tell you what button to press. I evenually figured out X and Y sort of make sounds that are... kinda similar, I guess? Only problem is when you learn the song, the only way to get out of the conversation is to successfully play it, and you don't really get enough time to input it, so I'm left in a permanent gameplay loop that I have to rewind to escape. If someone could give any advice that would be greatly appreciated.
