Where do you learn the Prelude of Light?

Where does the Prelude of Light take you?

The song warps you inside the Temple of Time, close to the Master Sword pedestal.

  • Time travel in seconds. Warp in, then pull or replace the Master Sword to switch between child and adult Link. You do this a lot in the second half of the game.
  • Reach Castle Town from anywhere. As a child that means the shops, the Bombchu Bowling Alley and the Happy Mask Shop.
  • Works for child Link too. As a child it is just as useful for getting back to the pedestal.

Which other songs should I learn next?
