- "What business have you in Ikana Kingdom, land where only the deads roam? This is no place for one as full of life as you. Or do you say that you wish to join the dead? That is fine... If that is the case, sleep gently to the Melody of Darkness that the great composer, Sharp shall play... and join the ranks of the dead."
- — Sharp
The "Melody of Darkness" is a song from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. It is a melody composed by Sharp, one of the Composer Brothers. It is capable of sucking the life force out of all living things that are exposed to the tune. When conducting it, Sharp makes cutting motions with his baton, as if to signify infliction of pain of some sort. The song has a low tune to symbolise darkness and danger. It seems to be played by a piano and theremin.
When Link enters the spring in Ikana Canyon, Sharp appears and plays this song. Link plays the "Song of Storms", that he learned from Sharp's brother, Flat, turning Sharp back to the good side. The water is allowed to pass from the spring once more, activating the Music Box House in the area. The song emitted by the Music Box House, "Farewell to Gibdos", scares away all the Gibdo in the vicinity.
