Topic: OoT Time Paradox ***SPOILERS***

I think this part of Ocarina of Time is an awesome time paradox:
You're in the windmill as an adult. The mean-looking guy states how he "hates the ocarina kid from seven years ago" so you show him your Ocarina. "Hey! You have an ocarina!!" he exclaims in rage. He goes on by saying "I'll never forget that tune he played that messed up this windmill..." and plays the Song of Storms. Now that you know Song of Storms, you have to go back in time, into the windmill. The first thing you notice is, the windmill guy is happy. However, when you play the Song of Storms, and it starts raining in the windmill and the wheel goes too fast, there's a cutscene. You've emptied the well! Then when you talk to the aforementioned man, he says "Go around, go around, go around- Hey! That's going WAY too fast!"
I think this is an awesome time paradox, since he tells you the song you played in the past because he told you in the future(if that made sense, which of course it doesn't because it's a paradox)
Who agrees with me?

It is an awesome time paradox, I remember discussing it with my friends a long time ago. Very clever of Nintendo to think up.

It just shows that time travel should never happen

Yeah, that's a paradox alright. It's like the Song of Storms came into existence out of nowhere. They screwed up with that part of the story.

Then again, the ending is really weird when you're sent back in time to relive the seven years you missed. Isn't Ganondorf still going to take over until you defeat him? So wouldn't that mean you're going to live a miserable seven years while you wait for the events of the game to take place, and then you either have to defeat Ganondorf all over again or wait it out until a duplicate of yourself from your past does it?

I think the whole Song of Storms thing was intentional, Bulba, but I think the end of the game thing wasn't quite thought out on their part.

Exactly, that was kinda my point when I said that it was AWESOME

I was actually talking to Bulbasaur, because Bulbasaur said it was a mistake on Nintendo's part.

I know, I was explaining that that was my point to bulba while saying exactly to you in one post

o_0 Try and be more clear next time then...

This has always bothered me a little, but its a simple little paradox, nothing brilliantly original there.

Pretty much.
But its cool if you ask me.

OMG I was googling for this zelda fanfic I read once about this paradox and came across this - http://m.fanfiction.net/s/6766572/1/

/me sings the song over and over

that's Creepy O.o

A Song of Storms

In a time, long ago rain began that did not slow
lightening cracked the sky, loud the thunder cried
Go around, Go around dance while heaven crashes down
Singing asong of storms
Who am I, am I free, Is this just a memory?
Half-forgotten pain, love lost in the rain
when you've lost, lost it all, that's when she begins to fall
You still have the song of storms

Me singing or the song itself? :3

That song of storms sidequest is one of the coolest things on any game ever. Fact.

It's not a sidequest, a sidequest would be having to go to a lot of different characters delivering things to them to eventually get some cool reward. Example: Biggoron's Sword

Eh? If it's a quest you can partake in that's not necessary to complete to the game but nets you some reward, it's a side quest. The Song of Storms is a reward. And it's a pretty cool one, if I say so myself.

Isn't the Song of Storms like required to get to the Bottom of the Well? Which you go to while advancing through the story? Wouldn't exactly call it a sidequest.

Yup.

Anyone else notice the Song of Storm guy in the credits... upside down? O.o

I'm hating your one word replies, but I think you know that already D:
