The Song of Double Time comes from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, released for Nintendo 64 in 2000. It is one of the Ocarina songs Link can learn optionally from the Scarecrow in the Astral Observatory and Trading Post, using notes taught in the game. Unlike the Song of Time, which returns Link to the First Day, this melody moves time forward to the next 6 a.m. or 6 p.m. Its brief, familiar tune has become shorthand online for skipping ahead, especially in Zelda edits and speedrun commentary.
About this sound
The Song of Double Time from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, the Ocarina melody Link plays to skip ahead to the next dawn or nightfall instantly.
Played on the Ocarina of Time, the Song of Double Time is a short six-note melody with a bright, urgent lift that feels like time itself rushing forward. In Majora's Mask Link learns it from the Scarecrow and uses it to jump to the next dawn or night, skipping hours in a flash of light. The sound is clean and magical rather than dramatic, with each note ringing clearly before the final flourish resolves. Listeners instantly recognise the time-skip moment, the sense of control inside a game built around a relentless three-day countdown.
