In | In {{OoT}}, the "Prelude of Light" is one of the six [[Warping|warp]] songs [[Link]] learns as an adult. Using the {{it|Ocarina of Time}}, it transports [[Link]] inside the [[Temple of Time]], likely because that's the entrance to the [[Sacred Realm]], which is where the [[Temple of Light]] is located. After the young hero completes the [[Forest Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Forest Temple]], Link can return to the Temple of Time to learn this song from [[Sheik]]. Strangely, this song is actually a conclude, not a prelude (the notes descend from a triumphant feel to a gloomy one). | ||

In | In {{TP}}, [[Wolf Link]] can summon the [[Hero's Spirit#The Golden Wolf|Golden Wolf]] by howling this song at the [[Howling Stone]] near the entrance to the [[Sacred Grove]]. | ||

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" cadence (or plagal cadence, more properly). 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|url= http://cruiseelroy.net/2008/04/ocarina-music-3/|title= Music in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time |site= Cruise Elroy}}</ref> | The Prelude of Light is 8 bars long in 4/4 time, and in the key of D Major.
