MIDI Week Single: "Windmill Hut" - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64)

 

"Windmill Hut" from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on the Nintendo 64 (1998)
Composer: Koji Kondo
Label: Nintendo of America
Publisher: Nintendo
Developer: Nintendo EAD

Over the past eight years, we have featured music from eight of the (checks notes) now 20 games in the mainline Legend of Zelda series (not counting spinoffs), and with Tears of the Kingdom being released on Friday (May 12th), having a track from a Legend of Zelda game felt appropriate.  And seeing as how we have somehow managed to not use any music from Ocarina of Time, now seemed as good a time as any.

The "Song of Storms" that you learn from the Phonogram Man is one of my favorite songs in the game.  Really the whole story and events surrounding the "Song of Storms" is strange, to say nothing of the overall strange vibe from the Phonogram Man himself.  But this song, "Windmill Hut," is the song that plays when you are in the windmill where you learn the "Song of Storms" and is just a longer rendition of that song that you play on the ocarina.

That is really all.
