Damn you're right, fixing.

@Nightmare 17 years ago

Man, you are great! I love those tabs you wrote! Thanks to them i can learn my favorite tunes, from my favorite game :) Cheers mate!

@Oniichan 17 years ago

hmm its good.. but it would be better if it was played in a higer tone

@Gren 17 years ago

Sounds alot better since it's been fixed, heh

@cameron 17 years ago

e----------------------------------------------------
B---------------------------1-0----------------------
G--2----------2-----------2------0-----0-2-----------

A---------------------------------------------3------

@archard 17 years ago

I fixed it for you Cameron. Remember to use code tags around your tabs so they will format correctly. It says so right below this text box.

@gabeff 17 years ago

@rastamon 17 years ago

the high pitched note one is the best

@michael 17 years ago

Hey guys, would it not be a tad easier to do it this way? I mean I guess you could play this on higher notes but for some of us it sounds better on a low note.

@Brandon 17 years ago

srry MARANDA! but thats...completely wrong....:)

@Wayne J 17 years ago

all thouse tabs sound good but the original is the best lol i love that song it sounds good no matter how high or low

@gumballthechewy 17 years ago

could some one do a bass tab? i think it would sound good the tone is low so i just figured.

@Zap 17 years ago

I think Eric's way is the best so far

But when you get to

e------- B------- G-2-5-4- D------- A------- E-------

I feel like theres something still missing Maybe this? e--------- B---0----- G-2---5-4- D--------- A--------- E---------

@RiverOfBlood 17 years ago

G'day, heard you chaps wanted a bass tab, here you go.

G--2----------2-----------2-5-4--0----0-2---------
D------0---3------0---3-------------3-----0----2-0
A--------------------------------------------3----
E-------------------------------------------------

or alternatively.

G-14---------14----------14-17-16-12---12--14--------------
D-----12--15-----12--15--------------15-------12----14-12--
A------------------------------------------------15--------
E----------------------------------------------------------

Ill post a lower one too, using the B string.

@Anonymous 17 years ago

WTF!! the first parts r wrong on all of these. have u guys heard the song b4??? WTF!!!

@Kabukibear 17 years ago

No, Anonymous is mistaken. That tab is correct. Though I would put the tab up an octave. Don't forget that the guitar sounds 1 octave below it's written notes. Even though if you played the tab on the piano both the guitar and the piano would appear to play the same notes, the guitar voices one octave below it. For exmample, play middle C on a piano and then the equivalent C on the guitar. Going by written notes it would be 4th string 3rd fret but in actuality it is 2nd string 1st fret. Just something to be aware of when transcribing for the guitar.

@Alex 17 years ago

i think we should all dig up our old N64's (mine already "dug up")

and listen to the song of time in the extremely lit up church in hyrule then maybe we can settle this in a battle royal :/

no but seriously wy dont we write it down while your listening to it

@Anonymous 17 years ago

some missing notes but overall good high or low

@Shane 16 years ago

Thanks

@Randomizer 16 years ago

Nice Man in like 10min i got the tabs in my head and after a day of practice i got the whole thing nice ^^

@Sebas 16 years ago

Good tab, sound quite good, i don't really care if it is really the same octave or whatever... the song is similar to what i know, and help me to improve my skill (i'm playing guitar for my 3rd week, don't have a teacher).

@Strife Of The Ages 16 years ago

I don't know what you guys are talking about. there is nothing wrong with this tab. Also, Maranda's is good too. It is the tabs for the full temple of time music. Trust me, my friend and I are LoZ addicts. the tabs are right.

By the way, awesome job once again archard

@ZoraLink (majora's mask) 16 years ago

yep they're all OK also the one from maranda i'm a LoZ addict to mate. i just completed TP for the 3 time. :D

@LoZ MM lover 16 years ago

ALLRIGHT! i made a tab for the inverted song of time of majora's mask:

e:-------------------------------------------- B:-------------------------------------------- G:------2-------2----------------------------- D:-3-0-----3-0-------------------------------- A:----------------7-6-5-4-3-2----------------- E:--------------------------------------------

enjoy

@LoZ MM lover 16 years ago

sorry it didn't work out i'll remake:

e:----------------------------------- B:----------------------------------- G:-------2-------2------------------- D:-3-0------3-0---------------------- A:--------------------7--6-5-4-3-2--- E:-----------------------------------

@Jake Campbell 16 years ago

Most of you are just placing either exactly the same frets, spaced differently, or the same notes on different frets.

Also, I think it sounds better on a lower fret. As I remember it (haven't touched the game in a while however), it's pretty deep. Not when you're playing it in the ocarina, but when you're hearing it in the temple.

@charles 16 years ago

the real song of time

e---------------------------------- B--------------1-0----------------- G--2----2----2-----0---0-2--------- D---0-3--0-3---------3-----0---2-0- A----------------------------2----- E----------------------------------

@your name here 16 years ago

@choychoy770256 16 years ago

shouldnt there be a 0 in between the 3 on the A STRING AND BEFORE THE 2 ON THE D STRING SO IN BETWEEN THAT BECAUSE IT SOUNDS WAY BETTER WHEN U ADD IT

@Zacke 16 years ago

I think the low pitched version is best :P

@wallawallag 16 years ago

i like michaels version.

@fartinyoface 16 years ago

cool. I posted 1 but it didn't work.

@christopher 9399 16 years ago

@kokiri-boy 16 years ago

i think every one who thinks this tab is off the mark is off there rocker this tab is great

But that's just me.

@omagio 15 years ago

hmmm i dunno but i've been playing this on my bass sound pretty good lol

@Guitaring Jesus 15 years ago

It sounds correct to me I am an avid LOZ:OT player it sounds very good and it is already a fairly easy tab.

@thub22 14 years ago

look people , thing is about tabs is that they are relative to how you hold your guitar, this one is the correct tabs for the song of time but if you flip your guitar over and play it from higher to lower instead it plays the lost woods song. it works both ways, just depends how you hold your guitar, left handed or right handed. or how you string it. the lower case e symbolizes the higher string and the upper case E symbolizes the deeper string. so stop complaining and just use common sense, saw this once and realized it can be played as the song of time of the lost woods theme simply by turning it upside down

@Bueno97 14 years ago

I love this tab fun and easy

@bellasajor 14 years ago

Can I please explain something? This tab is "the song of time" just in a lower version, but it is atually called "The temple of Time" because that song is played in the temple. Therefore I'd suggest you changing the name of the song + adding the ending to please all these trolls commenting irrelevant hate-comment.

@ZechsMarquise 13 years ago

god, that argument was funny to read. But in all honesty, this is the song of time. It's probably the easiest version to play so far. In regular tabs, the High E string is always on top, with low E string on the bottom. Flip it around, the low E is on top. And to the argument earlier, Lost Woods goes like this:

i dunno if you just misread it, or if you can't understand the tabs.
