Rain as a Theme
In most instances rain does not affect Link directly and is only present to set the tone of a scene or area. Moments that utilize rain as a tone setter include, but are not limited to, the opening sequence in A Link to the Past, when Midna's Lament is playing in Twilight Princess, and various moments during Wind Waker. Other games may also include rain as ambiance to help define an area.

In, the "Song of Storms" may be played on the Ocarina to summon rain and trigger certain events.

In, rain is randomly generated in warmer areas. It can cause climbing surfaces to become slick, resulting in Link struggling to climb. Rain will put out all fires (with the exception of Ancient Flames) immediately.
