"You who do not fear the dead, learn well the song that is inscribed behind me... 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

The "Song of Storms" is a recurring song in the Legend of Zelda series. One of the two major compositions of Flat and Sharp, the Composer Brothers, this song summons forth a rainstorm, that rages for a small amount of time.

Link can play the "Song of Storms" by playing A, Down-C, Up-C, A, Down-C, Up-C. The actual pitches of the notes translate as follows: D, F, high D, D F, high D.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Link learning the "Song of Storms" in Ocarina of Time

The "Song of Storms" is learned from Guru-Guru in the Windmill in Kakariko Village when Link is an adult; Guru-Guru tells Link that he learned the song from a green-clothed child seven years prior. Apparently, this youth he speaks of is Link. Since Link plays the song as a child to drain the well in the first place, the creation of this song is a paradox of sorts, further adding confusion as far as timelines are concerned.

Other than draining the well, Link can play the "Song of Storms" Fabulous Five Froggish Tenors in Zora's River. Once Link has played them the five other non-teleportation songs, he is given a Piece of Heart. Also, when played near a beanstalk as Young Link, they produce fairies.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask

The "Song of Storms" is learned from Flat after Link defeats an Iron Knuckle in the caves beneath the Ikana Graveyard on the First Day. It is the only song capable of counterattacking the "Melody of Darkness", played by Sharp, one of the Composer Brothers that Link must later combat. Additionally, it can cure Link of the jinxing inflicted on him by Blue Bubbles.

Guru-Guru can also be heard playing it in the Stock Pot Inn during daytime, and near the Laundry Pool at night.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons

The "Song of Storms" is heard playing near the Windmill to the east of Horon Village, presumably emitted by Guru-Guru's victrola contraption.
