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

it doesnt matter if your left or right handed, low e will always be on the top high e will always be on the bottom so it has nothing to do with how you hold the guitar.

I just played this as I played the song of time on Majora's Mask, which is played the same on OoT. Sounds absolutely perfect.

@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

@Gren 17 years ago

Anyone have a reason why that wouldn't sound right?
And... anyone mind clueing me on as to how to make this show up right? :(
@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
Can one of you guys email me the right tabs plz.Gabeff@gmail.com thanks
@archard 17 years ago
And what exactly is wrong with this one?
@Kieys 17 years ago

@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.
@sebou 2 17 years ago
pretty nice tab:P good notes sounds well nice job :)
@randomGuy 17 years ago

@maranda 17 years ago
tiss the full song with right temo
@Magic-one-post 16 years ago
Replying to:
@maranda tiss the full song with right temo E|--5-------------1----|--5-------------1----|--5--8--7----3----1...
Same with Maranda's version, shouldn't some notes be played down on separate strings to let notes ring?
I say E5 B6 and G8 should be the first part, Imo. Leave E5, E8, E7 alone... Maybe switch the E3 following to B8 and kind of follow through with that...

@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---------
@Zap 17 years ago
Replying to:
@Zap I think Eric's way is the best so far But when you get to e------- B------- G-2-5-4- D------- A-----...
thats still not right but the idea is is there's something missing here Doesnt it progress up 2 more notes before it gets deap again? e---?-?----- B---?-?----- G-2-?-?-5-4- D---?-?----- A---?-?----- E---?-?-----
@RiverOfBlood 17 years ago
G'day, heard you chaps wanted a bass tab, here you go.

meh.....im using the higher up part of riverofblood's bass tab and the endjust doesnt sound right...i havent heard the song for awhile so i might be wrong just maybe im just getting the tempo wrong... just if u could check it and make sure make me happier
@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

@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

@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.
