Music

This article is about the ARG's music. You may be looking for the video.

Music is an integral part of the Haunted Majora's Mask Cartridge ARG, and has been used in nearly every aspect of the story. Songs used in the story have been either from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask or independent music artists.

Majora's Mask music

Music from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask that is present both in-game and outside of it. Only entries that are found outside of their intended in-game context or outside of the game are listed.

Reversed Song of Healing

The reversed Song of Healing is the most recurring theme in the ARG. Its frequency and relation to BEN has led to its community-created epithet, "Song of Unhealing." It is used in every video in the Haunted Cartridge Arc except for free.wmv. The song is presumably used while BEN is fully active.

Reversed Ikana Valley

The reversed Ikana Valley theme is not used nearly as frequently as the reversed Song of Healing, only being present in day four.wmv. In the post-game version of youshouldnthavedonethat.net, it is the background music for Chapter 2. It can be found as File 33 from youshouldhavedonethat.net's hidden files.

Reversed Mask Salesman

The reversed Mask Salesman theme is used in BEN.wmv during the Termina Field sequence, and can be found as File 26 from youshouldnthavedonethat.net's hidden files, where it is titled Creeeep Sales.

Reversed, Sped-up Mask Salesman

The reversed and sped-up Mask Salesman theme is used in BEN.wmv just after Creeeep Sales, when Jadusable plays the Song of Healing. It played during the final hour of the First Cycle, during which Ifrit was answering emails. It can be found as File 34 from youshouldnthavedonethat.net's hidden files, where it is titled Matt's Final Hour.

Reversed Great Bay Coast

The Reversed Great Bay Coast theme is used only once, in BEN.wmv during the Great Bay sequence in which Zora Link drowns.

Game Over

Game Over is the normal game over theme from Majora's Mask, but is used outside of its intended place by being present at the end of BEN.wmv, where it replaces the music from the file select screen.

Slowed Fairy Fountain

The slowed Fairy Fountain theme is used only once, in jadusable.wmv during the file select screen that shows the MATT file. The music is in its intended place, but distorted by playing slowly.

Slowed Middle Boss Battle

The slowed Middle Boss Battle theme is used only once, in huntyoudown.wmv as Dark Link makes his way to the entrance of the Temple of Time. The music is out of place, as there is no mini boss in the Temple of Time, but it plays consistently rather than distorting.

Reversed Elegy of Emptiness

The reversed Elegy of Emtpiness is used in CHILDREN.wmv during the white void sequence.

Piano Practice

Piano Practice is used in THE FATHER.wmv during the black void sequence when Link encounters Evan.

Song of Healing

The Song of Healing is used in The Prisoner.wmv for the first time, during the Rosa sequence.

Non-game music

Main article: HubrisOST

The non-game music used in the ARG has mostly been renamed for the official soundtrack, which is officially unreleased. Most of them were used in the Moon Children Arc, with only one left unused.

Lost in My Thoughts

"Lost in My Thoughts" is a song by independent artist MO. It was used as the background music of YSHDT during the First Cycle prior to the final hour, and Chapter 1 in the post-game version of YSHDT. Its file name attributes the song to Chi-iLL, which was MO's alias before it was changed due to another artist's request to use the Chi-iLL name. This song's title was not changed for the soundtrack. It can be found as File 12 from youshouldnthavedonethat.net's hidden files.

The Rewind

"The Rewind" is a song by independent artist jacekdupa, originally titled "Destroyed Vioiln Beat (Dark Rap Instrumental)." It was used as the background music of YSHDT during the Second Cycle. It can be found as File 11 from youshouldnthavedonethat.net's hidden files.

Wrath of the Immured

"Wrath of the Immured" is a song by independent artist Synthyhoody, originally titled "Hard Epic Hip Hop Rap Instrumental." It was used as the background music of YSHDT during the Third Cycle. It can be found as Files 61 and 62 from youshouldnthavedonethat.net's hidden files.

Unraveling the Labyrinth

"Unraveling the Labyrinth" is a song by independent artist Sourze, originally titled "Epic Orchestra Rap Instrumental - Prepare for War." It was used as the background music of post-game YSHDT. It can be found as File 63 from youshouldnthavedonethat.net's hidden files.

Within Hubris

"Within Hubris" is a song by independent artist Farhan Khan Productions, originally titled "Trapped in Hell." It was used as the background music of Within Hubris. It can be found as File 69 from youshouldnthavedonethat.net's hidden files.

The Truth

Grisly Reminder

"Grisly Reminder" is a song by gothic music group Midnight Syndicate from their album 13th Hour. It was first used in hubris.wmv, where it plays in reverse during the intro sequence with Rosa speaking. This sequence has been used in several subsequent videos.

Another World

Control 1 (Interlude)

"Control 1 (Interlude)" is a song by minimalist folk band Penguin Cafe from their album The Imperfect Sea. It was used at the end of THE FATHER.wmv when The Father appears in front of Link, combined with "Lux Aeterna" (see below). It was used once again in Methods of Revolution [Day 1] when the Second Player finds a note that reads "Silenced."

Lux Aeterna

"Lux Aeterna" is a choral arrangement by Hungarian composer György Ligeti. It was used at the end of THE FATHER.wmv when The Father appears in front of Link, combined with "Control 1 (Interlude)" (see above).

Worlds to Run

"Worlds to Run" is a song by rapper Busdriver, featuring Milo and Anderson .Paak, from his mixtape Thumbs. It was used at the beginning of Methods of Revolution [Day 21] as the alarm tone Sarah wakes up to.

Ben's Theme

"Ben's Theme" is an AI-generated song created with the Song of Healing as its base. It was found on methodsofrevolution.com shortly after the premiere of Methods of Revolution [Ben.wmv], where it was first used, and later used in The Truth.wmv.

Temple of Earth

"Temple of Earth" is a song by Badub, utilizing the Ocarina of Time sound font. It was used in The Moon Children.wmv and The Prisoner.wmv during sequences where the Moon Children are speaking to either Sarah or among themselves.

Untitled overworld track

This untitled song was used in The Moon Children.wmv and The Prisoner.wmv during outside sequences after The Father has turned the town's inhabitants into ReDeads.

Video response songs

During the Moon Children Arc, players were given the ability to submit videos of ocarina songs from Majora's Mask or Ocarina of Time as a way to advance the story.

Song of Time

The Song of Time was used to reset the three-day cycle of youshouldnthavedonethat.net, much like its in-game counterpart. It has been played as a video response twice. The first time was a scripted event, played by Alex. The second was played by Miya in an attempt to save Rosa from the danger she was put in by the previous Song of Healing. It was later played by Sarah in The Truth.wmv, resetting the cartridge to its state in 2010 when Jadusable found it.

Inverted Song of Time

The Inverted Song of Time was used to confirm that in-game ocarina songs have an effect on the real world. It was played by Freyadutenebres.

New Wave Bossa Nova

The New Wave Bossa Nova was used to allow Rosa to contact players via Ifrit's email. It was played by MFGreth.

Song of Healing

The Song of Healing was used to sabotage further progress, causing Kelbris to kill Rosa. It was played by HigurashiMGOST. After the premiere of Methods of Revolution [Ben.wmv], the consensus caused Sarah to play it in The Truth.wmv, after which Ben granted her the Adult Link form.

Oath to Order

The Oath to Order was used with unclear intentions, but caused Alex's death, which was undone soon afterward. It was played by moonman2522.

Sonata of Awakening

The Sonata of Awakening was first played by Cerxi, presumably to get Alex to safety, but it instead caused him to disappear. It was later played in Sonata.wmv, decided by a poll found on methodsofrevolution.com, causing the Second Player to awaken in Methods of Revolution [Day 1].

Sun's Song

The Sun's Song was first played in CHILDREN.wmv by Jadusable, causing time to skip forward to the New Day. It was later played by Sarah in The Moon Children.wmv in order to freeze the ReDeads around Clock Town, also causing time to skip forward by 6 hours.

Notes

• Though most likely coincidental, the song playing in the background of Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines - Rosa is the song "A Smaller God" by Darling Violetta, which has a run time of 4:23.
• Just before the end of youshouldnthavedonethat.net's First Cycle, BEN posted lyrics from "Who's That Knockin" by The Genies to Jadusable's YouTube account.
