Sun's Song

In Ocarina of Time, the Sun's Song is a melody composed by the Composer Brothers, Flat and Sharp. Assigned by the Royal Family of Hyrule to study the mystic powers of the family, this melody is the result of Flat and Sharp each studying a different song: one to summon the sun, and another to summon the moon.

The Sun's Song can be learned from entering the Royal Family's Tomb in the Graveyard of Kakariko Village; however, the inside of the tomb can only be accessed after playing Zelda's Lullaby on top of the Triforce mark. The notes for this tune are scratched on a wall at the end of the crypt. The Sun's Song, when played on either of the ocarinas, will allow Link to change night to day, or day to night. It can also freeze ReDeads and Gibdos inside the room the Sun's Song is played in.

When this melody is played, one of two things can happen to the surrounding area, and Link's location. Link could stay in the location where he is, or end up back to the entrance of the area. An example of these effects can be shown in Hyrule Field, and Kakariko Village. In Hyrule Field, when the Sun's Song is played, Link stays where he is, and the sun quickly sets before the moon is summoned. In Kakariko Village, when the Sun's Song is played, the screen goes black, and when the player can see Link again, he is at the entrance of Kakariko Village.

Since its introduction in Ocarina of Time, the Sun's Song has become the song to signify morning in almost every The Legend of Zelda game.

A more basic version of the Sun's Song appears in The Wind Waker, known as the Song of Passing, which serves the same function as the Sun's Song.
