Trivia
- Link's experience with the "Song of Storms" is known as a bootstrap paradox. The Windmill Man teaches adult Link the song because of his fury at the damage young Link brought by playing it. After traveling back in time, young Link uses that knowledge to cause the damage that led to the Windmill Man's fury.[2] Therefore, Link could not have learned the song if he had not gone on to play it to the Windmill Man's in the past.
- The opening section of the "Song of Storms" resembles the opening section of the Fortress/Castle theme from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.
