Koji Kondo - Song of Storms

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is a classic video game that has left a lasting impact on the gaming community. The "Song of Storms" is a memorable musical piece from the game. Here are some interesting facts about it:

  1. Time-Traveling Song: The Song of Storms plays a unique role in the game's time-traveling mechanics. Link learns the song as an adult and uses it to summon rain, but he also teaches it to a child in the past. The child then plays the song as an adult, creating a time paradox.

  2. Windmill Connection: In the game, you learn the Song of Storms in the Windmill in Kakariko Village. Interestingly, the same Windmill is related to another famous glitch in the game known as the "Reverse Bottle Adventure."

  3. Cultural Impact: The Song of Storms has gained popularity beyond the game itself. Many musicians and fans have covered and recreated the song, showcasing its enduring cultural impact.

  4. Misattributed Composer: While Koji Kondo composed the majority of the game's music, the Song of Storms is often mistakenly attributed to Zelda series director Eiji Aonuma. This misconception may have arisen due to Aonuma's involvement in creating the windmill scene where the song is learned.

  5. Ocarina Usage: As with many songs in Ocarina of Time, players need to play specific notes on Link's ocarina to activate the Song of Storms. The tune consists of the notes A, down-C, up-C, A, down-C, up-C.

These facts highlight the intricate connections between the music, gameplay mechanics, and the overall experience of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
