Song of Storms
From Zelda Wiki.org
The Song of Storms is a song that has made several appearances in various The Legend of Zelda games, making its debut in Ocarina of Time.
In Ocarina of Time, the Song of Storms is one of the Ocarina songs learned by Adult Link from the windmill man. It can summon rain when the song is played, reveal secret grottoes, water bean sprouts to produce fairies, and can also empty the well in Kakariko Village. The song has some disadvantages, though: it happens to speed up windmills dramatically.
The Song of Storms makes yet another appearance in Majora's Mask, where its origins are further explained. The Song of Storms was a song composed by the Composer Brothers of the Ikana Canyon, specifically by Flat. When Link finds Flat's crypt in the Ikana Graveyard, Flat teaches it to him; it represents his sadness of losing Sharp, the other Composer Brother, and his anger for Sharp's betrayal.[1] By playing the song, Link manages to cure Sharp and also revives the Ikana River in the process.
In Oracle of Seasons, the Song of Storms is the background music for the area around the windmill, east of the village in the Eastern Suburbs.
The Song of Storms also makes an appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a hidden song for the Pirate Ship stage. It is collaborated with Ganondorf's theme and the Serenade of Water.
How to Play
Trivia
- A time paradox is created in Ocarina of Time. According to Guru Guru, Link played the Song of Storms as a child to speed up the windmill, yet Link is taught the song by Guru Guru. Because of this, it is not clear exactly how Link originally learned the song to have played it to Guru Guru in the first place.

And if you ever meet my brother, I'd like you to inform him... The thousand years of raindrops summoned by my song are my tears. The thunder that strikes the earth is my anger!" —Flat (Majora's Mask)
