Koji Kondo - Song of Storms

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is a classic video game known for its rich storyline and iconic music. The "Song of Storms" is a particularly memorable piece from the game. Here are some interesting facts about it:

  1. In-Game Usage: The "Song of Storms" is learned by Link in the game and has the magical ability to control the weather. When played, it can cause rain to fall or stop, depending on the current weather conditions.

  2. Time Travel: One fascinating aspect is the time travel element associated with the song. Link learns the tune as an adult and then travels back in time to teach it to the windmill's owner in his child form. The windmill owner, in turn, teaches the song to Link when he returns to adulthood.

  3. Backwards Melody Controversy: There's a controversy about the melody of the "Song of Storms" being the same as the "Windmill Hut Theme," played by the windmill owner. The debate arises from the fact that the song Link learns from the windmill owner appears to be the same one he teaches back to him, but played backward.

  4. Cultural Impact: The "Song of Storms" has become iconic not just within the game but also in broader popular culture. It has been covered and remixed by various artists and is often featured in video game music concerts.

  5. Appearances in Other Zelda Games: The "Song of Storms" has made appearances in other games in The Legend of Zelda series, attesting to its enduring popularity among fans. It has become one of the franchise's recognizable musical themes.
