Song of Storms
Song of Storms makes it rain. The windmill man, Guru-Guru, teaches it in Kakariko when you are an adult. The phrase is three notes, played twice.
Rain, the windmill, and the loop
Nintendo 64: A, C-Down, C-Up, then the same three again. 3DS: L, R, A, twice. Switch 2 buttons are unpublished, same policy as Saria’s Song. The teacher is Guru-Guru inside the Kakariko windmill, and you can learn it only as an adult. Rain fills that windmill, opens certain grottos, and starts the race with Dampé in the graveyard. Those jobs are the wiki’s list. I am not appending extra grottos from memory.
The story around the windmill is a time loop: the man is angry because a child played this song years ago and the blades have spun ever since, and the child was you after you learned it in the future. I am marking that as a plot reading from the wiki, not as a physics explanation. It is the reason people argue about the song, and it is easy to over-explain. One paragraph is enough.
It does not warp you to a temple. Sheik’s six songs do that. It also does not prove royal blood; that is the lullaby. If you play it in the wrong place you mostly get weather. The songbook in the remake will show the classic line once you know it. A microphone is still unstated.
Questions
Who teaches Song of Storms?
Guru-Guru, the man in the Kakariko windmill, in the adult era.
Does it change the past?
The wiki tells it as a paradox: the song you learn as an adult is the one the child already played. I am labeling that as the story, not a mechanic spec.
