After [[Link]] has acquired all three [[Spiritual Stones]] and attempts to enter [[Hyrule Castle Town]], [[Zelda|Princess Zelda]] flees with [[Impa]] on a horse, and throws the [[Ocarina of Time]] in the moat. [[Ganon]]dorf will follow closely behind. When Link dives into the water to retrieve it, memories of Zelda will be created from the instrument, and she'll teach the song to him. The song can then be played in front of the altar in the [[Temple of Time]], which will result in the [[Spiritual Stones]] placing at the hollows on the altar and the [[Door of Time]] opening.

After going through a sequence of events to open the [[Clock Tower]] as a [[Deku Scrub]], [[Link]] will shoot the [[Skull Kid]] with a bubble. This causes the imp to drop the [[Ocarina of Time]]. When Link retrieves it, memories of Zelda come to him from when she taught him the song. The song can be played to return to the Dawn of the First Day and, in the N64 version, saves the game.

The song will reset all the events of the three days and send Link to Dawn of the First Day. It will also cause [[Link]] to lose all expendable items, such as [[Deku Nut]]s and [[Rupee]]s, although he can have the [[Banker]] save the latter for him. This prevents the moon from crashing into [[Termina]].

There are two hidden songs, the [[Song of Double Time]] and the [[Inverted Song of Time]]. They are activated by learning the Song of Time. The Song of Double Time speeds time up to skip ahead in one 12 hour sequence.slows time down to move half as quick. The Inverted Song of Time slows time down to move half as quick.
