Flat

Flat is a recurring character in.

In, Flat is one of the deceased Composer Brothers who, during their life, served the Royal Family of Hyrule. He and his brother were known to be great composers because of the many musical masterpieces they wrote. However, they were also on a mission to analyze the hereditary mysterious powers of the Royal Family of Hyrule. Although they could never quite understand the true power behind the Triforce, they completed a study about controlling the flow of time via the use of Ocarinas. Ganondorf then tried to steal the results of their research and threatened to kill them if they did not reveal them. The Composer Brothers, unwilling to let the King of the Gerudo reap the fruits of their research, gave up their lives in order to protect the secret they had spent years researching.

After their death, Flat and his brother kept serving the Royal Family as Poes by guarding the Graveyard. Their tombstones are located right next to the huge headstone that guards the entrance to the Royal Family's Tomb. Link can speak to the deceased brothers by checking their gravestones, which results in them attacking him. After being defeated and realising that he is not one of Ganondorf's men, they will reveal that they were each studying a song, one to summon the sun and the other to summon the moon. Their combined studies resulted in the creation of the "Sun's Song," which is the secret song they guarded and that eventually led to their deaths. Once Link enters the tomb, he can find the "Sun's Song" inscribed at the end, along with a poem written by the Composer Brothers to accompany the melody.

In, Flat is locked up beneath the Ikana Graveyard by his own brother, Sharp. After defeating the Iron Knuckle guarding him, Flat's soul is freed. In return, he teaches Link the "Song of Storms," a song he had composed to cure Sharp of his curse. Flat also reveals that he and his brother were once servants and composers of the Ikana Royal Family. He requests that Link helps cleanse his brother's black soul, allowing the two of them to finally have their eternal rest.
