The '''Inverted Song of Time''' is a song in [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]] played on the [[Ocarina of Time]]. Like the [[Song of Double Time]], it is neither directly taught to Link nor stored in the Songs menu on the Quest Status pane. It can, however, be found in the game by speaking to one of the Scarecrows in Clock Town after dancing with one of them. It is a variation on the [[Song of Time]], with all its notes played in reverse order.

As is already mentioned, you don't actually need to learn this song to play it. As soon as you have retrieved the Ocarina of Time from the [[Skull Kid]] and have learnt the Song of Time, you can play this song, and the Inverted Song of Time as well. But if you weren't looking on this Wiki, you would be told about it from the Scarecow, after you dance with him.

==Learning the Song==
This song is easy to remember, as long as you remember the Song of Time. Simply play it backwards on your [[Ocarina]] using the C-Buttons. Here are the notes: ↓ A → ↓ A →.
Technically, Link can play the Song of Double Time as soon as he has retrieved the Ocarina of Time from the [[Skull Kid]] and played the [[Song of Time]] for the first time. To find a hint of its existence, he can find a Scarecrow inside of the [[Astral Observatory]] or [[Trading Post (Majora's Mask)|Trading Post]], who hints to Link that playing each note of the Song of Time backwards will slow down time.{{Ref|MM|3469-3471|Scarecrow}}

When played, the song slows down the rate at which time flows, to roughly half the standard rate. This effect only lasts during the cycle in which Link plays the song. Playing the song again allows Link to return the flow of time to normal.

The Inverted Song of Time is a song in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask played on the Ocarina of Time.

Like the Song of Double Time, it is neither directly taught to Link nor stored in the Songs menu on the Quest Status pane. It can, however, be found in the game by speaking to one of the Scarecrows in Clock Town after dancing with one of them. It is a variation on the Song of Time, with all its notes played in reverse order.

Learning the Song

Technically, Link can play the Song of Double Time as soon as he has retrieved the Ocarina of Time from the Skull Kid and played the Song of Time for the first time. To find a hint of its existence, he can find a Scarecrow inside of the Astral Observatory or Trading Post, who hints to Link that playing each note of the Song of Time backwards will slow down time.[1]

Playing the Song

Function

When played, the song slows down the rate at which time flows, to a third of the standard rate in Majora's Mask (N64), or half-speed in Majora's Mask 3D. This effect only lasts during the cycle in which Link plays the song. Playing the song again allows Link to return the flow of time to normal.
