The "{{Term/Store|Prelude of Light||Series, OoT, OoT3D, TP, TPHD}}" is a recurring [[Song]] in {{TLoZ|Series}}.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= |book= E |publisher= |page= 96 {{Exp Game|OoT}} & 97 {{Exp Game|TP}}}}</ref>


The Prelude of Light allows you to warp to the [[Temple of Time]]. It is very useful if you don't want to encounter a hoard of gibbering braindead freaks, AKA [[ReDead]].
==Learning Location and Uses==
==={{OoT|-}}===
The "Prelude of Light" is one of the six [[Warping]] songs [[Link]] learns as an adult in {{OoT}}. Using the {{Term|OoT3D|Ocarina of Time (Item)|link}}, it transports Link to the {{Term|OoT3D|Triforce Warp|link}} inside the [[Temple of Time]]. After the hero completes the {{Term|OoT3D|Forest Temple|link}}, Link can return to the Temple of Time to learn this song from [[Sheik]].


[[Category:Songs]]
==={{MM|-}}===
In {{MM}}, the notes for the "Prelude of Light" can sometimes appear on a wall in the northern part of [[Termina Field]], where Link can play a song for [[Rupee]]s.
 
==={{TP|-}}===
In {{TP}}, [[Wolf Link]] can summon the [[Golden Wolf]] by howling the "Prelude of Light" at the [[Howling Stone]] near the entrance to the [[Sacred Grove]]. After howling here, Link will be taught the [[Helm Splitter]] by the [[Ancient Hero]].
 
==Other Appearances==
==={{HW|-}}===
{{Noncanon|Start}}
In {{HW}}, Sheik can play the "Prelude of Light" with her [[Harp]] Weapon to summon a square of light near her.
{{Noncanon|End}}
 
==Music Theory==
The "Prelude of Light" is 8 bars long in 4/4 time, and in the key of D Major. Harmonically, the first four bars give the feeling of a church setting by using only I and IV chords, a technique used frequently in Mass settings and known commonly as the "Hallelujah" or plagal cadence. The last 4 bars employ the unusual harmonic ending of ii7 - bIIma7 - Ima7 with the last arpeggiated riff in the harp part giving finality to the last I chord and resolving the 7th at the top.<ref>{{Cite Web|quote= |author= Dan Bruno|published= January 20, 2014|retrieved= |url= http://danbruno.net/2014/01/ocarina-songs/|title= Ocarina songs in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|site= danbruno.net|type=}}</ref>
 
The "Prelude of Light" is actually a conclude, not a prelude, as the notes descend from a triumphant feel to a gloomy one.
