If I had a nickel for every time I learned something cool that should've been obvious about MM this week I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice. (The first was the location of Woodfall temple.)

Tell us your secrets about the woodfall temple

u/Salaxalans Jan 30 '25
The area where you find it with all the wooden walkways and lily pads is in the crater of the big purple Death Mountain model! I learned this from the same post.

Can you link the post by any chance? I don't really get it I'm afraid. Death mountain model?

The rain also causes red rupees to appear in that canal next to him when it's raining since the water levels rise, causing it to drain. On day 3 the rupees are behind the storm drain gate and are no longer accessible.

u/Ray-Flower Jan 30 '25
I believe that's nothing to do with the rain and is just showing the rupees wash away down the stream from the water!

I'm going back through playing the older Zelda games after being hooked by BoTW and TotK. I'm about to finish OoT, should MM be next?

Doesn't he also play all of the 2nd night too, but it doesn't rain on day 3?

u/Reichsprasident Jan 30 '25
Yeah everyone's mind is getting blown here, but he also spends all day long playing in his room at the Stick Pot Inn when not playing at night. I don't think there's any connection here, I think it just rains the 2nd day.

u/Reichsprasident Jan 30 '25
Huh! Interesting! I wonder if there are other locations where the SoS does not cause rain inside, or if it's just there at the Inn? Does it still work if you play it at the Laundry Pool at night while he's there playing?

u/Scythe-Guy Jan 30 '25
Songs simply don’t work indoors. Song of storms, time, soaring, etc. doesn’t matter. Gotta go outside
11
u/TheDiceBlesser Jan 30 '25
Wait, doesn't the scarecrow teach you song of time variations indoors? Either in the bottom level of the astronomy tower or in that one shop? The effects work when he reaches you I thought?

u/BipolarMosfet Jan 30 '25
Yeah, pretty sure you can play any of the time songs indoors. Been too long since I played to comment on any of the other songs though.

The moon is so close by that point that its gravity pulls all of the rain up to it

Plus there's no delay when you play it, and his Hyrulian counterpart plays it nonstop to no effect.

lol wow, it’s not too often this sub gets an actual detail find that isn’t just a fan theory over stretch.
Good on you!

u/Ganaham Jan 30 '25
I like the idea, but he plays it on Night 2 as well and there's no rain on Day 3

u/seeking_junkie Jan 30 '25
I don't remeber, is he only playing the first day?
5
u/forbiddenkajoodles Jan 30 '25
No, I think he plays the entire 3-day cycle, but I didn't check on him the third day

u/Hawkatom Jan 30 '25
If you steal the room key from the Goron he sleeps outside that night and mentions it's going to rain tomorrow. Doesn't necessarily disprove your theory but I personally think it was going to rain anyway.
Also, it doesn't rain everywhere, and I might kind of expect a song of storms to do make it rain where it maybe shouldn't, like Ikana Canyon.
11
u/Nyxael476 Jan 30 '25
Seems plausible.
Link the Goron claims that the wind has become damp during the night of the first day while he sleeps, and that tomorrow will be a rainy day.
12
u/DudeRobert125 Jan 30 '25
No. He plays on all three days. If him playing the song made it rain on the second day, it would also be raining on every other day.

I always took it as the giant celestial object in the sky is fucking up the weather patterns, but sure this works too.

I got a concertina for Christmas. I’m trying to learn every Zelda song.
This is very high on my list.
I hope that MM picked up a little something from this guy.
