Song of Storms

The Song of Storms in the Legend of Zelda games has an interesting origin. In Ocarina of Time, a man at the windmill teaches adult Link the melody. He recalls a day when a kid played the song and messed up the windmill. When Link goes back in time, playing the song opens the well and teaches the man the song. This creates a paradox. In Majora's Mask, Link encounters a ghost who teaches him a tune inscribed on a gravestone. So, the Song of Storms was accidentally created by Link, but also already existed on a tombstone in Majora's Mask. The Song of Storms is a very interesting song in the Legend of Zelda games, but where exactly did it originate? In Ocarina of Time, a man at the windmill in Kakariko teaches you the melody of the Song of Storms' adult Link. He mentions he remembered that day where an ocarina kid played that tune and messed up the windmill. When you go back in time later in the game, if you play that song it'll open the bottom of the well, but it will also teach the man that song. This means the Song of Storms was created through this paradox. However, this song also has another origin. You see, in Majora's Mask, when going under one of the graves you meet a ghost of the Composer Brothers. This ghost teaches you a tune that is inscribed on his gravestone that will rid the other brother of darkness. So Link created a song by accident that already existed in Majora's Mask from being on a tombstone. That's pretty cool.
